Abstract

Renewable energy sources and the economy of energy from classical sources are subjects of many research studies. The goal of this paper is to identify a topology of trigeneration (CCHP) system with a higher efficiency. For this purpose are compared two structures of CCHP systems, depending on the prime mover used: fuel cells or Stirling engine. The analysis are made on two integrated micro-scale combined cooling, heating and power (mCCHP) trigeneration systems dedicated for isolated residents with energetic independence.
