The environmental advantages of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier are more prominent when it is produced utilizing renewable resources. In this regard, a novel geothermal energy driven electricity generation system integrated to hydrogen production plant is developed and investigated in this research. In the developed plant, a PEM electrolyzer is employed for hydrogen generation such that its required electricity is provided by an improved double-flash geothermal cycle. A self-superheater is applied for superheating the vapor at the steam turbine inlet using the geothermal resource to enhance the hydrogen production capacity. To evaluate feasibility of such superheating process and to examine its effects on hydrogen production, thermodynamic models are developed based on first and second laws. Also, environmental considerations are considered in evaluation of the proposed plant performance based on exergo-environmental indices. The influences of first and second flashing pressure, geothermal source temperature and current density of water electrolyzer on energy and exergy efficiency, hydrogen production rate, and environmental damage index are investigated. After carrying out a parametric study, the optimum operation point of the plant is determined via a two-objective optimization based on the hydrogen rate and environmental damage index . It is found that, under optimum operation, the system can produce 25.48 kg/h of hydrogen, while its environmental damage index is calculated to be as 0.00645.
