The promising energetic and environmental benefits of building cooling heating and power (BCHP) system are greatly dependent upon its design and operation strategy. In this paper, the energy and emission flows and different operation strategies of a BCHP system driven by gas engine are analyzed....

Several distributed triple-generation (DTG) system options to produce cooling, heating and power have been evaluated and compared in a multi-criteria method, such as technical, economic, environmental and social aspects. Due to the fuzzy or uncertain evaluation criteria, this paper presents an...

Failure of a component in BCHP (building cooling, heating and power) system may result in failure of a sub-system or of the whole system. The reliability and availability analysis of BCHP system is helpful to the designer to decide the redundancy in case of equipment failure. This paper presents...
