Synopsis
Nowadays, water and energy crises are increasing because of world population growth, variations of consumer habits, limited fossil fuel reserves and global warming. Beside, poly-generation microgrids can provide electricity, heat, cool, potable water, and hydrogen demands close to end-users with no need to transmission. This leads to (i) a significant reduction in transmission and distribution costs: which represent about 30% of costs associated with supply and local connections do not present high capital costs and energy losses of long distances distribution lines; (ii) energy dissipation reduction: piping and conversion devices dissipate almost 6% of produced energy; (iii) efficiency improvement: simultaneous supply of electrical, cooling and heat demands allows to reduce energy waste, improving system overall efficiency; since cool and heat transport is more difficult than electricity (production close to users is essential); (iv) integration of renewable energies with traditional generation facilities: use of clean and sustainable energy sources such as solar, ocean thermal, wind, tidal, wave, hydrokinetic (marine and river current), hydro, geothermal, and biomass reduces negative environmental effects of fossil fuels (global warming, ozone layer depletion, ground-level ozone formation, pollution, and acid rains). Reliability and consistency is a significant drawback with respect to some of renewable energy sources. Atmospheric conditions and geographical locations make a huge impact on effectiveness of solar, wind, tidal, etc. Therefore, incorporation of chemical, electrochemical, electrical, mechanical, thermal and ice energy storages with renewable energy based multi-generation systems overcomes uncertainties associated with daily and seasonal fluctuations of renewables.
Each chapter of this book will focus on energy, exergy, economic and environmental (4E) analyses of a novel combined cooling/heating/pure water/hydrogen/power generation system. In other words, different multi-generation microgrids such as cogeneration, trigeneration and poly-generation systems, which are driven by clean and sustainable energy sources and supported by storage devices, will be presented. Robustness, effectiveness and applicability of each system will be revealed by simulation on a benchmark consumer or a real case study without and with application of storage facilities. Firstly, a comprehensive literature review will be presented in each chapter. Than, the specific novelties of the chapter will be presented clearly. Afterwards, thermodynamic design and mathematical problem formulation will be provided for modeling system. Case study, numerical results and discussions will be presented for each proposed chapter. Than, concluding remarks and future trends of each microgrid will be expressed. Finally, nomenclature and references will be listed. This book will be helpful for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and engineers, trying to design and evaluate different zero-energy and zero-emission stand-alone grids.
