The present paper develops a simple but rigorous trigeneration plant model for designing, optimizing and simulating small–medium scale plants including a realistic biomass gasification model. The model provides five different configurations for the simultaneous production of heating, cooling...

This paper presents an overview of the absorption cycles proposed in the literature for producing combined power and cooling. The dual output nature of these cycles makes it difficult to evaluate their performance so the various criteria used in the literature are presented and discussed. A...

Combined production of power and cooling can improve energy utilization efficiency significantly. In this paper, a new ammonia/water combined absorption power and cooling cycle is proposed for simultaneous generation of power and cooling. This cycle is a combination of absorption refrigeration...

The use of biomass as a source of energy has been further enhanced in recent years and special attention has been paid to biomass gasification. Due to the increasing interest in biomass gasification, several models have been proposed in order to explain and understand this complex process, and...
