Objectives
The
main goal of the proposed project is to support the development of a
new market for polygeneration: small and medium capacity
tri-generation. The operating time of a CHP system can be
significantly increased by using the heat produced for
thermally-driven cooling, which creates a remarkable improvement in
cost efficiency.
Therefore the proposed integrated project aims to
demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and reliability of small-scale
combined heat, cooling and power (CHCP) units for a wide range of
buildings and industrial applications. Key actors in the project are
the majority of today's manufacturers of thermally-driven cooling
machines in Europe and manufacturers of CHP systems. The consortium
also includes utilities, engineering consultants, energy agencies,
end-users and research institutions.
Eight demonstration
sub-projects using different thermally-driven cooling technologies
will be carried out as a main activity at twelve sites in seven
European countries for a wide spectrum of applications. Many
different combinations of thermally driven chillers and CHP systems
will be developed to the pre-commercial product stage. The operation
of the demonstration sub-projects will be investigated in practical
applications and assessed with regard to economic and energy
performance. Further activities covered in the work plan include a
broad market potential analysis of micro-trigeneration systems, the
development of component and system models for engineering, the
development of design guidelines and tools for professionals, and the
production of documents for training and dissemination. Workshops and
seminars for technology transfer and training will be carried out in
different countries in national languages.
All in all, this
comprehensive project aims to achieve substantial progress in the
technical and market development of micro-CHCP systems using
advanced, small and medium-scale, thermally-driven air-conditioning
and refrigeration technology.
