Combined heat and power (CHP) systems have been employed in various applications for years. They are gaining increasing attention in the residential and small industrial sectors for their primary energy saving potential and CO 2 emissions reduction. Additionally, in specific applications such as the hospital sector, CHP plants can play a critical role in replacing fossil-fueled electric generators to supply electricity during local grid outages, thus enhancing hospital facilities’ energy efficiency, while also securing reliability and efficiency of operation. Hospitals have unique energy demand profiles, with high and constant demand (particularly heating and cooling demands), making them an ideal use-case for trigeneration systems. Combined, cooling, heating and power plants (CCHP) are capable to provide not only heating and electricity, but also cooling through the efficient exploitation of a single energy source, reducing Hospitals’ reliance on the local grid. In this context, this work aims at evaluating the potential of a battery-integrated CCHP plant through an innovative ammonia-water absorption system, whose energy analysis is based on data acquired from an Italian Hospital facility. The potential of integrating an experimental combined cooling and power production ammonia-water absorption system has been investigated starting from an optimized battery energy storage system (BESS) CHP plant configuration, studied for the same facility. A proper control strategy has been developed to maximize the cooling production when required from the end-user through CHP plant’s exhaust gases waste heat recovery. The energy analysis demonstrated the advantages of the CCHP-BESS plant over the optimal CHP-BESS configuration, with an 11.22% increase in primary energy saving, a 9.85% reduction in CO 2 emissions, and a 5.03% decrease in electric peak power demand.

This article presents an analysis about the pertinence of the implementation of distributed generation systems in Colombia. Different experiences of this type of generation schemes adopted in several countries are explored, making a special emphasis on the economic and environmental results, and on the improvement of the electrical supply reliability reported by different authors. A characterization of the Colombian electrical sector is made, through an historical synthesis of its evolution until its present state. Finally, a comparison between the described cases and the current state of the national electrical sector is presented, defining advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of distributed generation in Colombia, as well as, conditions for an effective and permanent positioning of these technologies in power schemes similar to those in Colombia. This work concludes with the real possibility for the implementation of distributed generation systems under conditions of government stimulus for the development of generation technologies based on renewable energies and co-generation.
