Integrated Energy Systems
There is a need for an integrated energy system especially in the field of cogeneration cycles for the simultaneous production of power and cooling. A standalone power or cooling cycle is less efficient compared to the integrated model. The system shares some common components like an absorber, solution heat exchanger, pump, and generator. The system can be analyzed in terms of parameters such as operating and ambient temperatures, pressures, and solution concentrations. The cogeneration cycle can be operated at the low temperature of 150 ⁰C and that can be supplied by solar thermal collectors. The advantage of the cogeneration system is that the cooling or power production can be controlled by adjusting the pressure fraction. It will be suitable for all mixture working fluids of NH3-NaSCN, H2O-Water, R134-DMAC, etc. The integrated energy systems will help to increase the efficiency, minimize the area, reduce the input energy, etc
