“…The encouraging outcomes achieved thus far from the FC-DISTRICT could pave the way for future integration options for SOFC CHP generators in the domestic built environment, where district scale optimisation favours that of individual buildings. District scale tri-generation systems have been investigated [72]. The authors state that it is highly desirable that more examples of district heating and cooling networks are developed due to their potential for built environment decarbonisation.…”

CHP and tri-generation systems offer high energy conversion efficiency and hence the potential to reduce fuel costs and CO 2 emissions. This paper serves to provide a state-of-the-art review of fuel cell technology operating in the domestic built environment in CHP and tri-generation system applications. The review aims to carry out an assessment of the following topics: (1) the operational advantages fuel cells offer in CHP and tri-generation system configurations, specifically, compared to conventional combustion based technologies such as Stirling engines, (2) how decarbonisation, running cost and energy security in the domestic built environment may be addressed through the use of fuel cell technology, and (3) what has been done to date and what needs to be done in the future. The paper commences with a review of fuel cell technology, then moves on to examine fuel cell CHP systems operating in the domestic built environment, and finally explores fuel cell tri-generation systems in domestic built environment applications. The paper concludes with an assessment of the present development of, and future challenges for, domestic fuel cells operating in CHP and tri-generation systems. As fuel cells are an emergent technology the paper draws on a breadth of literature, data and experience, mostly from the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, America and Australia.Fuel cells are a technology of the future here today, providing a change in the way heat and power are supplied to end users. Fuel cells operating in CHP and tri-generation systems in domestic built environment applications could finally provide the means by which energy generation can transfer from centralised to decentralised locales in a sustainable and effective manner.

“…In Rodriguez‐Aumente et al, 2 different systems for a DHC in Madrid (Spain) are compared through their payback period. The first system comprises 3 engines of 730 kW el and a backup boiler of 670 kW heat as generation system, and 2 double effect absorption chillers of 1.1 MW cooling and 5 backup compression chillers of 1 MW cooling as cooling system.…”

Solar district heating and cooling: A review

Summary Both district heating and solar collector systems have been known and implemented for many years. However, the combination of the two, with solar collectors supplying heat to the district heating network, is relatively new, and no comprehensive review of scientific publications on this topic could be found. Thus, this paper summarizes the literature available on solar district heating and presents the state of the art and real experiences in this field. Given the lack of a generally accepted convention on the classification of solar district heating systems, this paper distinguishes centralized and decentralized solar district heating as well as block heating. For the different technologies, the paper describes commonly adopted control strategies, system configurations, types of installation, and integration. Real‐world examples are also given to provide a more detailed insight into how solar thermal technology can be integrated with district heating. Solar thermal technology combined with thermally driven chillers to provide cooling for cooling networks is also included in this paper. In order for a technology to spread successfully, not only technical but also economic issues need to be tackled. Hence, the paper identifies and describes different types of ownership and financing schemes currently used in this field.

“…Also, solar collectors are utilized as on-site systems for hot water, industrial process heat and air conditioning. Thus, solar collectors can be used to provide electric, heating and cooling (EHC) energy yields for different applications [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Such applications will reduce the need for fossil fuels which accordingly can have good impact on energy systems [1][2][3].…”

In this paper, a study was carried out for the effect of local atmospheric condition and tilt angle on the energy yields of solar collectors at selected latitudes. A computer program was developed for that purpose to find the daily average, monthly, seasonal and annual energy profiles based on Klein model and Erbs correlation. Using generic system of solar collector at due south, hybrid energy yields: electric, heating and cooling were obtained. As a case study, the results were presented for latitudes 30 o-37 o N. Optimum tilt angles were found to be within 0 o to 66 o which nonlinearly depends on the relevant time period of the year and atmospheric condition. Two important findings were concluded. First, optimum angles would be larger for better atmospheric conditions with greater shifts during winter period while summer months are of less sensitivity. This shift was 10 o-14 o for winter monthly energy, 0 o-8 o for summer monthly energy, 11 o-13 o for total annual and heating energy and 1 o-3 o for total cooling energy. Second, deviations in the angles of commonly used empirical formulas were noticed to be larger in summer period and higher latitudes. These deviations were in the range of-10 o to +20 o as compared to the corresponding values of present study. Finally, average energy values were 6055, 1700 and 2370 MJ/m 2 for annual, heating and cooling yields respectively.
