“…Meanwhile, DESs can realize energy cascade utilization of natural gas by using this primary energy to provide high-quality electricity as well as low-exergy steam and hot water [2,18]. Approximately 1000 natural gas-based distributed energy projects are expected to be developed as part of China's 12th Five-Year Plan (from 2011 to 2015).…”

Summary Electricity, heating and cooling usage at the same time constitute an important part of primary energy consumption. Currently, intense efforts are being devoted to the improvement and development of new technologies to promote energy savings and to mitigate the global warming. Among these technologies, tri‐generation and poly‐generation systems come into prominence due to their high efficiencies, as well as low operating costs and low greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, modelling and sizing these systems is a large‐sized problem itself, and the higher the number of inputs, the higher the computational complexity. This paper aims to give a comprehensive review of the optimisation techniques used in tri‐generation and poly‐generation systems modelling and optimisation. After having reviewed more than a hundred papers, taxonomy is constructed. Self‐organising map is used to cluster the reviewed studies based on the optimisation techniques. Variations of the energy resources and the outputs of implemented systems are summarised. The crowd of clusters demonstrated the widely used optimisation techniques and the gaps in research. This study will certainly pioneer the optimisation studies in the field of tri‐generation/poly‐generation applications. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

China has been vigorously developing natural gas-based urban district heating (UDH) for years to reduce air pollution. Various UDH systems are proposed for a case in the urban area of Beijing. This study investigates the effects of load percentages of different prime movers on the technical performances of several UDH systems at different ambient temperatures. A decrease in the gas turbine load percentage results in an obvious decrease in the exergy efficiency of the UDH system. The calculation results of heating and power outputs, energy and exergy inputs, and exergy efficiency of the UDH systems under different working conditions are presented. The heating association of distributed energy system and on-demand heat pump heating can reach the highest average-exergy-efficiency among the UDH systems. This optimal natural gas-based UDH system should be promoted in China instead of natural gas-fired heating boilers to replace coal-based UDH.
