This paper presents a thermoeconomic analysis of polygeneration system based on solar-assisted desiccant cooling. The overall plant layout supplies electricity, space heating and cooling, domestic hot water, freshwater for residential building. combines photovoltaic/thermal collectors, photovoltaic panels, biomass boiler coupled with reverse osmosis air conditioning. was modeled in TRNSYS simul...

This paper is framed within the context of intra-day optimal control of polygeneration systems and storage connected to microgrids. In particular, the paper proposes an optimal control strategy that accounts for both electrical and thermal processes taking place in multi-building energy networks. To this end, the proposed optimal control strategy, based on the use of a Model Predictive Control,...

This study presents an extension of a previous paper recently published by the authors. In particular, current focuses on adding electrical storage to polygeneration system developed for residential applications. Different from work, it aims design off-grid facility. The plant provides electricity, space heating and cooling, domestic hot water, freshwater single-family dwelling in Almería, Spai...
