Energetic and Environmental Analysis of a micro CCHP System for Domestic Use

摘要

The assessment of energy economy and environmental impact of different energetic plants is the subject of many research studies. Fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas have become limited resources. Since current living and economical standards depend strongly on energy sources, it is necessary to realize a new technology that utilizes renewables as a source of energy. The paper presents the problem of energy performance and efficiency evaluation of the prime mover using renewable fuels, in a micro scale combined cooling, heating and power (m-CCHP) trigeneration system, for a domestic residence.
