Energies, Volume 15, Issue 10

2022 May-2 - 375 articles

Cover Story: Distributed generation of multiple energy vectors is gaining significant ground in the ongoing transition toward a decarbonized energy mixture. Dynamic simulation of such energy systems is a key driver for performance enhancement and optimization of the profitability gained. In this paper, a trigeneration system in a student residence complex, located in Greece, powered by solar thermal energy, biomass, and photovoltaics, is studied. The representation of the system is implemented through validated dynamic models developed in the Modelica language. The potential benefits of additional measures applied in the system are evaluated in terms of renewables’ contribution, biomass fuel consumption, and temporal flexibility. View this paper
