Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe various models and procedures of the trigeneration systems optimisation in order to establish their advantages as efficient and ecologically acceptable modes of energy transformation. Five energy models of 4 MWe are described and analysed, of which the gas engine, combined with the absorption refrigeration unit, has been found out as optimum. The analysis showed that such a system provides the best payback period and in the same time it has the least environment impact. The analysis and optimisation was performed with the use of RETScreen software package.
