Feasibility and Potential Assessment of BCHP Systems for Commercial Buildings in Shanghai

In this paper, while considering the relationship between BCHP (Building Cooling Heating & Power) system and macro gird as well as its running strategies, three scenarios have been assumed for the assessment of the technical potential of BCHP systems for commercial buildings located in Shanghai, China. According to the simulation results, for the scenario without power export, the office building has the largest potential, followed by hotel and sports building; otherwise, office, store and hotel enjoy larger potential than other types of buildings.
