Abstract
In this chapter, the applications of energy and exergy analyses to trigeneration (combined cooling, heat, and power) and multigeneration systems with more than three useful outputs is described. We explain how different systems can be integrated to produce several outputs using a single energy resource. Producing multiple outputs in a single system can help alleviate concerns over fossil fuel prices and scarcity, environmental problems, and efficiency. Trigeneration and hence multigeneration systems typically utilize combustion heat of fossil fuels or from other thermal resources (e.g., renewable energy thermal sources such as geothermal and solar energy). Three case studies illustrate how the overall efficiency of a system can be improved if more than one output is attained from the single system or several systems combined.
