The main objective of the project is to develop, demonstrate and compare high efficiency applications of micro-polygeneration for the civil and industrial sectors, based on innovative technologies.
Three demonstration plants will be constructed and tested:
• A trigeneration plant that will serve an office building in Torino (Italy), the unit will be innovative as it will make use of a reciprocating engine with a desiccant cooling system. The plant is expected to have a capacity of 120/200/255 kW (electricity/heating/cooling)
• A microturbine in trigeneration mode with an ammonia-water absorption cooling cycle, installed in a hotel in Girona (Spain).
Capacity of 27/49/32 kW (electricity/heat/cooling)
• A “Combi System” cogeneration plant consisting of the combination of a reciprocating engine and a Rankine cycle engine (bottoming cycle) operated on the exhaust gases of the reciprocating engine. This unit will be installed in Turkey. Capacity: 144 kWe and 151 kWth.
The Project will also include the design of detailed maintenance procedures.
The Project will also cover system and market studies aimed at evaluating the competitive positioning of the proposed solutions in view of future exploitation. Economic evaluations will include profitability, business analysis and external costs.
