This paper provides a set of specific examples to show the effectiveness of the trigeneration CO 2 emission reduction (TCO 2 ER) indicator proposed in the companion paper (Part I: Models and indicators) to assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction from cogeneration and trigeneration systems. Specific break-even analyses are developed by introducing further indicators, with...
The diffusion of cogeneration and trigeneration plants as local generation sources could bring significant energy saving and emission reduction of various types of pollutants with respect to the separate production of electricity, heat and cooling power. The advantages in terms of primary energy saving are well established. However, the potential of combined heat and power (CHP) and combined cooling...
Trigeneration or combined heat, cooling and power (CHCP) is becoming an increasingly important energy option, particularly on a small-scale basis (below 1MW e ), with several alternatives nowadays available for the cooling power production and the coupling to cogeneration systems. This paper deals with the introduction of a suitable framework for assessing the energy saving performance of...
The increasing diffusion of small-scale cogeneration technologies such as Microturbines (MTs) requires a careful assessment of the energy efficiency and the environmental impact of the plant solutions, especially if installed in urban areas with strict air quality standards. This paper deals with the local and global emission characteristics from clusters of MTs in different operation modes. The analysis...
The emerging technologies for small-scale distributed generation are shifting the focus from the centralized to the local production of electricity. Besides the electricity-only production, the evolution of small-scale cogeneration units is enabling energy efficiency improvements with respect to the separate production of electricity and heat. Additional benefits may be obtained by exploiting the...
