“…While the work of Uris et al [163] was correlated to the optimisation of scale and configuration of CHP designed to meet the district-wide thermal load in Spain, Ren et al [164] analysed the most economically effective allocations of solar-assisted CHP system allocation (based on gas turbine and gas engine selection) for public, residential, and mixed building complexes in five cities with differentiated climate characteristics. Wang et al [161] on the other hand emphasised on minimising the environmental impact in resource allocation design and scaling of natural gas-based combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) plant with solar PV and thermal systems.…”

The growing demand for energy and the accelerating threats from climate change call for innovative and sustainable solutions to decrease dependency on fossil fuels. Biomass-based, small-scale Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) systems are one of these solutions, because they can satisfy the energy demands of the consumer with enhanced flexibility, lower losses, less costs and less environmental pollution as compared to centralized facilities. Due to recent advances in several scientific subfields with relevance to small-scale CCHP, a rapidly increasing amount of literature is now available. Therefore, a structural overview is essential for engineers and researchers. This paper presents a review of the current investigations in small-scale CCHP systems covering biomass-fired concepts and solar extensions. To this end, critical system components are described and analysed according to their specific advantages and drawbacks. Recent case studies have been collected and key findings are highlighted according to each type of prime mover. The results indicate a scientific bias towards the economic viability of such systems and the need for real-life and experiment system data. However, the potential of biomass-fired CCHP systems and of such systems with solar extensions has clearly been recognised. Based on the results, future policy implementations should focus on fostering such systems in areas with high energy costs and to increase energy resilience in developed regions. Additionally research and industry applying novel prime mover technologies should be financially supported.

“…In this context, various technologies such as steam or gas turbines, steam engines, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) or Stirling engines can be used. These technologies mainly differ in their heat supply, whether they require an internal (e.g., gas turbine and engine) or external heating (e.g., ORC, steam and Stirling engines) [12].…”

The paper analyses the possibilities to form a coalition of several heat energy providers in order to participate in the district heating market considering the open electricity market. Cooperation would allow the participants to better dispatch the existing energy sources and would ensure higher total profit for the participants. The objective function for such a cooperation is provided. To optimise the operation of the coalition, mixed integer linear programming is used, considering constraints of different heating energy market participants and the need to fulfil heating energy balance. If any additional profit is made, it is shared between coalition participants according to the Shapley value, which grants interest for market participants to form the coalition. Case study based on historical hourly data is provided and numerical results are presented in the paper.
