ABSTRACT

Trigeneration is an attractive option in situations where all three needs exist, such as in manufacturing processes with cooling requirements. Trigeneration has the greatest benefits when scaled to fit buildings or building complexes where electricity, heating, and cooling are constantly needed. Such installations include, but are not limited to: data centers, manufacturing facilities, universities, hospitals, military complexes, and colleges. Localized trigeneration has additional benefits, as described by distributed generation. Power redundancy in essential applications, lower energy usage costs, and the ability to sell electricity back to the local utility are some of the major benefits. This paper analyses a comparative solution between cooling equipment with absorption respectively with mechanical vapor compression and draws conclusions regarding the energy efficiency.
