Summary

Trigeneration, that is combined electric, heat and cooling energy production, is a relatively recent technology and is becoming economically viable thanks to increasingly widespread use of commercial absorption chillers. This is based on the results of energy consumption research in the hotel sector, and in particular from complete data on thermal and cooling consumption in several European hotels. The authors propose a general and innovative criterion concerning plant management and determine, on the basis of case studies, some correlations which make it possible to size the main components of a trigeneration plant, using only a few data which are easy to obtain.
