Thermo-ecological assessment of CCHP (combined cold-heat-and-power) plant supported with renewable energy

It has been demonstrated that the obtained TEC depends on the type of generated carrier (electricity/heat/cold), on internal process irreversibility and the emitted pollutants, and on the type of primary energy supplied to the analysed systems. The values of TEC range between 0.22 for electricity generated in the photovoltaic plant and 4.72 for the cooling agent generated in the adsorption chiller.
