“…They examined the system improvement by means of the system sizing and selecting of different operational strategies. In another study, Roman et al investigated the various types of prime movers including the ICE, micro‐turbine, and phosphoric acid fuel cell for using in the CCHP systems. They ran simulations for the prime movers in one climate zone and compared the results to a reference case with a typical SP system.…”

Determining the optimum size of the prime mover of combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) systems due to significant impact on energetic, environmental and economic results of these systems is very vital and essential. In this study, based on energy, exergy, environmental, and economic (4E) analysis the optimum capacity of the gas engine (GE) for CCHP systems have been investigated. The evaluation study performed by using a proposed evaluation function (EF) and genetic algorithm (GA) optimization methods for a sample official building in Iran. Regarding eight constraints, the optimum size of GE based on EF and GA optimization methods calculated 70 and 74.3437 kW, respectively. By comparing the results obtained from EF and GA methods, it was concluded that EF method calculate the same optimal capacity with little difference and with the same accuracy of GA method. This is while proposed EF method does not have the complexity of GA optimization algorithm and is simpler. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13146, 2019

“…Equations to determine the GHG emissions [e.g., carbon dioxide (CDE), nitrogen oxides (NXE), and methane (ME)] have been set as well. Moreover, methods to calculate the annual cost savings and primary energy consumption (PEC) can also be represented with appropriate equations and are presented in [31]. All of these equations to calculate the performance parameters are presented in this section.…”

This chapter includes the basic configuration of combined cooling heat and power (CCHP) systems and provides performance analysis based on energy, economic and environmental consideration applicable to buildings. The performance parameter for energy savings measure used for the analysis is primary energy consumption (PEC) of CCHP system. Parameters used for economic analysis are the simple payback period (SPP), annual savings (AS), internal rate of return (IRR) and equivalent uniform annual savings (EUAS). The emissions savings are determined for carbon dioxide (CDE), nitrogen oxides (NO X ), and methane (CH 4 ). Economic, energy, and emission performance criteria have been utilized for three types prime movers in five different building types, consisting of a primary school, a restaurant, a small hotel, an outpatient clinic, and a small office building. Performance for economic analysis indicated that economic savings career, unlike ICE, which is preferable in terms of economic and energy savings, emission analysis shows that micro-turbine poses be observed for the ICE in all building types, and the micro-turbine in some building types. For all types of prime mover based CCHP systems, lower CO 2 emission is observed for all building types. However, emission characteristics compared to other types of prime movers. Overall, CCHP system with optimum use of its appropriate prime movers can provide potential energy, economic and environmental benefit in buildings.

“…This work found PV panel is the best PM and GT is the worst when every primary criterion (3E+society) are segmented into 16 to 5 sub-criteria. Roman and Alvey (2016) provided following hybrid load operation-based selection method among ICE, MT and phosphoric acid FC. However, the selection is only one layer, so it can only provide the selection in each sub-criteria.…”

Microgrid combined cooling, heating and power energy systems are under intensive investigation owing to expansion of renewable energy generation and development of advanced technologies in distributed energy generation. Multi-generation systems serve as one of the core parts in any microgrid energy systems. This review paper presents the summary of state-of-the-art technologies in these multi-generation systems. The first part introduces the energy structure based on energy sources and the latest renewable energy harvesting technologies for solar, biomass and geothermal energy. In the second part, prime movers, including small-scale ones used in a microgrid energy system, are summarized. The third part shows the expanded microgrid system configurations mainly for desalination. The fourth part describes the control and operation strategies for complex multi-generation systems. In the first three parts, insufficient investigation or research gaps are also pointed out. Overall, this paper systematically summaries recent progress in microgrid multigeneration system, and suggest future researches for designing and optimizing a microgrid energy system.
