“…The two main technologies to use solar energy to empower cogeneration plants are the solar concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Pearce [20] and Basrawi et al [21] explored the utilization of solar energy via hybrid PV and combined heat and power cogeneration and trigeneration plants. Rheinländer and Lippke [22] investigated the use of solar tower technology for cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water.…”

“…In addition to the basic operation strategies (FEL and FTL), Kong et al [21] presents a simple linear programming model to determine the optimal strategies that minimize the overall cost of energy for the CCHP system. Basrawi F et al [22] investigates the economic and environmental performance of a photovoltaic (PV) and microgas turbine trigeneration system based hybrid energy system with various operation strategies. Mago PJ et al [23] evaluated and optimized CCHP systems operated following FEL and FTL strategies based on: primary energy consumption, operation cost, and carbon dioxide emissions.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper construct a CCHP and renewable energy based hybrid energy system driven by distributed energy resources (DERs CCHP). Then, the paper constructs performance indexes from energy, economic and environment. Thirdly, the paper proposes a multi-objective optimization model for DERs CCHP system under four optimization of energy rate (ER), total operation cost (TOC), carbon dioxide emission reductions (CER) and joint optimization. Finally, Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center (GHEMC) in China is taken as the object for comparatively analyzing the operation performance of DERs CCHP system and CCHP system driven by natural gas (NG CCHP system). Results show: Joint optimization mode could balance the results of different optimization modes. DERs CCHP system shows better operation performance. ER of ER optimization, CER optimization and joint optimization are higher than that of NG CCHP system. NPV of all optimization modes is positive, IRR are bigger than the expected yield rate. DERs CCHP system could reduce CO 2 emission by utilizing wind energy and solar energy to replace NG. The sensitivity analysis indicates the performance of the DERs CCHP system will become better with the increase of chiller COP, decrease of NG price and wind-photovoltaic equipment cost.

“…Combined heat and power (CHP) systems can use fossil fuel energy more efficiently, delivering two or more times the useful energy from the same quantity of fuel, thereby reducing GHG emissions [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Small-scale CHP systems can also be integrated with solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, further reducing emissions [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In residential settings, the waste heat from co-generation units can be used primarily for space heating and cooling and domestic water heating.…”

a b s t r a c tUntil recently, the relatively high levelized cost of electricity from solar photovoltaic (PV) technology limited deployment; however, recent cost reductions, combined with various financial incentives and innovative financing techniques, have made PV fully competitive with conventional sources in many American regions. In addition, the costs of electrical storage have also declined enough to make PV + battery systems potentially economically viable for a mass-scale off-grid low-emission transition. However, many regions in the U.S. (e.g. Northern areas) cannot have off-grid PV systems without prohibitively large battery systems. Small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) systems provide a potential solution for off-grid power backup of residential-scale PV + battery arrays, while also minimizing emissions from conventional sources. Thus, an opportunity is now available to maximize the use of solar energy and gain the improved efficiencies possible with CHPs to deploy PV + battery + CHP systems throughout the U.S. The aim of this study is to determine the technical viability of such systems by simulating PV + battery + CHP hybrid systems deployed in three representative regions in the U.S., using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) Pro Microgrid Analysis tool. The results show that the electricity generated by each component of the hybrid system can be coupled to fulfill the residential load demand. A sensitivity analysis of these hybrid off grid systems is carried out as a function capacity factor of both the PV and CHP units. The results show that conservatively sized systems are technically viable in any continental American climate and the details are discussed to provide guidance for both design and deployment of PV + battery + CHP hybrid systems to reduce consumer costs, while reducing energy-and electricity-related emissions.
