Multi-criteria Performance Analysis of BCHP System Taking Reliability and Availability into Consideration

Abstract

The failure of equipment or sub-system leads to disruption of building cooling, heating and power (BCHP) system. This paper analyzed the energetic, economic and environmental performances of BCHP system taking reliability and availability into consideration. The results indicate that the integrated performance of the optimized non-redundant BCHP system is the best while its availability of cooling and heating is lower than the separation production (SP) system. The redundant BCHP system increases 0.44% availability at the cost increase of 38 Yuan/kWh while its energetic and economic performances are worse.

A Novel Comprehensive Benefit Evaluation of IEGES Based on the TOPSIS Optimized by MEE Method

“…Yang et al [33] considered the aspects of technology, economy, environment and society to evaluated the planning schemes of distributed energy supply systems. Wang et al [34] applied heating capacity and energy consumption, heating seasonal performance to conduct a systematic assessment of CO 2 heat pump system integrated with thermal energy storage (TES) systems.…”
