Parabolic solar trough systems have seen limited deployments in cold northern climates as they are more suitable for electricity production in southern latitudes. A numerical dynamic model is developed to simulate troughs installed in cold climates and validated using a parabolic solar trough facility in Winnipeg. The model is developed in Simulink and will be utilized to simulate a trigenerati...

In this research, the thermodynamic investigation of the tri-generation system is performed by the first and second law of Thermodynamics. The trigeneration system under study consists of three subsystems including the solar subsystem, Kalina subsystem and lithium bromide-water absorption chiller subsystem. The proposed system generates power, cooling and hot water using solar energy. The syste...

In the design of trigeneration plants for buildings, two fundamental issues must be addressed: synthesis plant configuration (installed technologies and capacity, etc.) operational planning. Given variety technology options available great diurnal annual fluctuations in energy demands, finding optimal supply system services is a complex task. Cost allocation multi-product systems requires speci...

In this paper, a new trigeneration system is proposed to decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide emission and produce methanol, hydrogen, power. The composed of an organic Rankine cycle, direct methanol fuel cell, capture unit, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, synthesis unit. A flue gas stream with defined composition, solar energy, the air are system's inlets. design step, special attention ...

load management and cost optimization are among the important factors in trigenerationsystems and combined cooling, heating and power (cchp) systems. in this study, an innovative cchpsystem uses a gas turbine as the prime mover and has a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg) in addition toan auxiliary boiler, electric and absorption chillers. the system is tied with the bulk electric grid; to ex...
