Summary

Residential trigeneration systems are highly efficient distributed energy systems aiming to conserve energy. Adsorption chillers/heat pumps can be used in residential trigeneration systems and their performance depends strongly on ambient conditions. Thus, calculation of energy savings is climate-specific. In this work, a dynamic trigeneration system model was developed. This model consists of an internal combustion engine as the prime mover, an adsorption chiller to meet the cooling demand and a thermal storage hot water tank to supply domestic hot water, space heating and driving heat for the adsorption chiller. The model was validated with results from a load-following trigeneration laboratory experiment conducted over five days during the cooling season. The model was then assessed under different building load profiles corresponding to four typical climate locations across the United States for a single building model. Cooling season, heating season, and annual performance of the residential trigeneration system was compared with several state-of-the-art baseline systems.
