An experimental investigation of a household size trigeneration

Using Micro Cogeneration Technologies to Enhance the Sustainable Built Environment

“…The performance of CHP and CCHP systems was carried out by several researchers including static calculation methodology for evaluating the primary energy consumption for CCHP and separate productions and analysis of energy saving performances of various types and sizes systems in heating and cooling modes and improving energy use in cogeneration systems [13]. Investigations on the potential of CHP and CCHP systems for reducing the energy use and the emission of hazardous greenhouse gases were carried out [14][15][16]. In the experimental tests to evaluate the performance and emissions of a diesel engine generator and the performance of the trigeneration system the CO 2 emissions per unit kWh of useful energy output from trigeneration were reduced by 67.2-81.4% compared to those from single generation [15].…”

Techno-Environmental Assessment Of Co-Gasification Of Low-Grade Turkish Lignite With Biomass In A Trigeneration Power Plant

“…CCHP) which is based upon combined heat and power (CHP) systems coupled to an absorption chiller can be recognized as one of the best technologies to recover biomass effectively to heat, cooling and power. Several previous studies in literature show that the trigeneration system is able to generate three useful energy forms with only a single fuel source [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, trigeneration systems have been utilized for decades only in a small number of food manufacturing and retail facilities with limited fuel sources [14].…”

Application of Trigeneration to a Multi-Unit Residential Building in Canada

“…Trigeneration is a rather new subject and relatively few aspects of it have been studied in detail. Some studies have tested prototype systems [1][2][3][4] with encouraging results especially for larger systems. Others have evaluated its performance and economical feasibility based on assumed component efficiencies [5][6][7][8] and indicate that trigeneration performs better by following the heat demand during the cold season and the electricity prices during the warm season.…”
