Decarbonization of Residential Building Energy Supply: Impact of Cogeneration System Performance on Energy, Environment, and Economics

Abstract: Electrical and thermal loads of residential buildings present a unique opportunity for onsite power generation, and concomitant thermal energy generation, storage, and utilization, to decrease primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide intensity. This approach also improves resiliency and ability to address peak load burden effectively. Demand response programs and grid-interactive buildings are also essential to meet the energy needs of the 21st century while addressing climate impact. Given the significan… Show more

“…Motivation: The use of chemical energy to sustain building energy requirements to simultaneously lower electrical demand and primary energy consumption while improving energy efficiency, grid resiliency, and carbon footprint of buildings has been investigated by several researchers [14][15][16][17][18]. For instance, a recent work [19] presented a case study with two different micro-CHP configurations in a residential building serviced by the electrical grid at a carbon intensity of 0.299 kg/kWh.…”

“…These studies should target all sectors that contribute to GHG greenhouse gas emissions, especially the building sector, which contributes 28% of the world's total carbon emissions [6]. Thus, the housing stock provides tremendous potential for CO 2 emissions reduction [7,8]. Residential energy consumption (REC) in the North Africa region has continued to grow since 2000 and…”
