Abstract
In this research study, a novel solar based combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system is proposed and evaluated from thermodynamic and thermo-economic point of view in this article. Accordingly, advanced exergy, exergo-economic and exergo-environmental analyses are applied to have a better understanding of the performance of the system. The analysis is undertaken developing and constructing the codes in Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, which results that the storage tank has the largest exergy destruction rate and the highest cost of exergy destruction based on the conventional exergy and exergo-economic analysis. Moreover, the results of the advanced exergy analysis show that 5.26 kW of the 7.3 kW endogenous exergy destruction rate is unavoidable. Thus, even technological development cannot be able to prohibit the triggered endogenous exergy, which is observed to be about 72.05%. Based on the advanced exergo-economic analysis, among all of the components, turbine has the largest avoidable and unavoidable endogenous investment cost rates. According to the advanced exergo-environmental analysis, except the 2nd group of the ARS subsystem, avoidable environmental impacts of exergy destruction rate are higher than unavoidable ones that means the system has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of exergy destruction rate.
