Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a growing interest of energy utilisation that transfer fuel fossil to renewables, which could meet the challenge of reducing the greenhouse gas emission. Combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP), as a concept of trigeneration, has been extensively developed, and lots of the demonstration projects have been applied all over the world. But the focus of trigeneration technologies is changing from the large-scale into small scale, which aims to be used for district and community. Some thermal power generation technologies e.g. ORC, Kalina, Brayton cycle, as well as cooling and heating methods, e.g. absorption, adsorption, ejector, are all integrated together to open a new chapter of poly-generation in recent years. Meanwhile, different energy storage methods e.g. PCM and transport approaches are considered to be combined with trigeneration systems to build an optimised thermal network. However, it is worth noting that the real performance of CCHP system is much lower than what we expect. It is still significant that we should further improve the performance of CCHP through theoretical analysis and the development of new and imaginative systems.
The Special Issue welcomes submissions addressing case studies, new methodologies, numerical analysis and experimental work in tri-generation systems for the purposes of improved thermal efficiency, energy utilization, sustainable resources and environmental impact.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
