Techno-Economic Performance Assessment of a Trigeneration System Operating in a Hospital

The techno-economic performance evaluation of a combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) system installed in hospital building Greece is presented. aim was to verify standards evaluate real behavior, while highlighting the economic gains. In this research, evaluated using actual year-round field measurements. data were used calculate recovered heat generated electric energy. Furthermore, modeled compared manufacturer specifications. Financial assessment conducted through energy cost analysis operating viability system, both for its functions. results showed that, overall, after eight years operation, efficiency still within design standards. Electrical constantly above 30%, thermal around 40–45%. Total usually 75% threshold, characterizing as fully CHP operating. also pointed out effectiveness Greek market. verified potential CCHP improving building.
