This paper presents an analysis and optimization of a polygeneration power-production system that integrates a concentrating solar tower, a supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle, a double-flash geothermal Rankine cycle, and an internal combustion engine. The concentrating solar tower is analyzed under the weather conditions of the Mexicali Valley, Mexico, optimizing the incident radiation on the receiver and its size, the tower height, and the number of heliostats and their distribution. The integrated polygeneration system is studied by first and second law analyses, and its optimization is also developed. Results show that the optimal parameters for the solar field are a solar flux of 549.2 kW/m2, a height tower of 73.71 m, an external receiver of 1.86 m height with a 6.91 m diameter, and a total of 1116 heliostats of 6 m × 6 m. For the integrated polygeneration system, the optimal values of the variables considered are 1437 kPa and 351.2 kPa for the separation pressures of both flash chambers, 753 °C for the gasification temperature, 741.1 °C for the inlet temperature to the turbine, 2.5 and 1.503 for the turbine pressure ratios, 0.5964 for the air–biomass equivalence ratio, and 0.5881 for the CO2 mass flow splitting fraction. Finally, for the optimal system, the thermal efficiency is 38.8%, and the exergetic efficiency is 30.9%.

A double-flash geothermal Rankine cycle integrated with a central solar receiver is proposed. The solar field is analyzed by optimizing the radiation flux in the receiver, reaching values of 555.40 kW/m2 for a 44.32 m tower, with a receiver of 3.90 m high by 4.99 m in diameter, and a total of 417 heliostats. The cycle is analyzed by optimizing its power delivered, based on the separation pressures of both flash chambers, reaching a power of 25734 kW when the pressures are 8.668 and 2.768 bar, respectively. Results show that this type of systems are a good alternative to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.
