Combined Cooling Heating and Power Systems – A Review

Abstract

Combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems, including various technologies, 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 effect 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 efficiency is also required.
