Development of Combined Cooling, Heating and Power Generation System Using Solar Energy

Abstract

Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) systems, including various technolo- gies, provide an alternative for the world to meet and solve energy-related problems, such as energy shortages, energy supply security, emission control, the economy and conservation of energy, etc. this has been discussed in the paper and a detailed review of CCHP technologies and its comparison with the individual Separate(SP) Technologies has been shown through various graphs. Also focused has been made on using the solar light for the generation of steam in the CCHP system which could immensely e ect the energy shortages-a challenge that world is facing today. In order to have this technology running it would be necessary to have a greater know-how and working towards increasing its e ciency is also required.The system is rst designed and simulated as per the lab scale requirements using HYSYS and HTRI software. Energy and exergy of traditional and CCHP power generation systems are analyzed. Energy e ciency of the traditional mode of power gneration is 22.186% and exergy is 23.4 %. Whereas energy efficiency of CCHP plant is 48.2% and exergy efficiency is 45.6% respectively. Instruments are sized using K.G.tower and HTRI software.
