“…Moreover, the recovered waste heat also requires capability for application for thermally activated equipment for space cooling such as absorption chillers, adsorption chiller, liquid and solid desiccant cooling as well as ejector cooling [21]. Absorption chillers are well developed and mature technologies in the cooling industry compared to other cooling option [22]. Table 2 list features of several type of absorption chillers for integration in the TGS.…”

Abstract.Research on distributed power generation as an alternative method to the conventional power generation system continue to be developed to improve its commercialization capabilities. The cogeneration system and trigeneration system are technological improved alternatives in distributed generation where they offer enhancement and reliability in term of efficiency, emission performances and economic benefits. However, it is more feasible to implement the trigeneration system for most commercial and domestic distributed generations as the cooling demand is deliberately high compared to heating demand especially in hot and humid climate locations. Moreover, micro gas turbine is observed to be a beneficial prime mover in cogeneration and trigeneration system based on several criteria such as ability on acquiring high heat to power ratio characteristic as well as lower greenhouse gas emission. On the other hand, the role photovoltaic in building integrated system provides opportunities for renewable energy system engagement in trigeneration based distributed generation systems. This paper emphasize on summarizing the research work perform on cogeneration system or trigeneration system in hybrid mode with photovoltaic. There are also preceding sections on overviewing the state of art of cogeneration system and the trigeneration system as well as photovoltaic technologies in power generation.

An energy system is a crucial component in fulfilling the energy requirements of a given industrial process. If not designed appropriately, energy systems may not be able to perform designated operations in an optimised manner. Mathematical optimisation approaches have had a long history in addressing the synthesis of energy systems. Mathematical optimisation approaches are part of a larger domain known as process systems engineering (PSE). The main objective of this review is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the mathematical optimisation approaches developed, particularly those developed for synthesis of energy systems, including the handling of uncertainty and the optimisation of multiple objectives. Subsequently, the synthesis of energy systems is further discussed on specific areas such as reliability, operability, flexibility and retrofit and eco-industrial parks. Following this, an overall analysis of the contributions in these areas is provided. Finally, future research directions are identified at the end of this review.

“…Tri-generation systems have several benefits which have led to interest from the researchers and manufacturers. The most important benefits are low energy consumption, low maintenance and operation costs, reductions in environmental pollution and the energy loss due to transmission lines, enhanced the sustainability, increased thermal efficiency, improved energy sector security, increased the reliability, and the production of multiple products simultaneously without the need for extra fuel as in conventional plants [11]. Due to these benefits, the researchers have been encouraged to improve tri-generation systems.…”

This paper reports on a study of the modelling, validation and analysis of an integrated 1 MW (electrical output) tri-generation system energized by solar energy. The impact of local climatic conditions in the Mediterranean region on the system performance was considered. The output of the system that comprised a parabolic trough collector (PTC), an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), single-effect desalination (SED), and single effect LiBr-H2O absorption chiller (ACH) was electrical power, distilled water, and refrigerant load. The electrical power was produced by the ORC which used cyclopentane as working fluid and Therminol VP-1 was specified as the heat transfer oil (HTO) in the collectors with thermal storage. The absorption chiller and the desalination unit were utilize the waste heat exiting from the steam turbine in the ORC to provide the necessary cooling energy and drinking water respectively. The modelling, which includes an exergetic analysis, focuses on the performance of the solar tri-generation system. The simulation results of the tri-generation system and its subsystems were produced using IPSEpro software and were validated against experimental data which showed good agreement. The tri-generation system was able to produce about 194 Ton of refrigeration, and 234 t/day distilled water.
