分布式冷热电联供能源系统与经济发展的关系

“十二五”期间中国15.7万亿元的增量经济大部分将在新规划的新区实现,但从各地正在规划和建设的新区情况来看,缺少从一次能源到终端需求的冷、热、电、汽全过程高效联供的分布式供能规划.据推算,若“十二五”期间新区能效不变,工业和建筑物燃料需求将增加3×108t标煤/a,而这显然是不可能的.新规划区域能源模式创新、提高能效是“十二五”中国经济发展的关键,采用天然气分布式冷热电联供能源系统(DES/CCHP),可使能源终端供应能效成倍提高.“十二五”期间中国必须从区域经济发展的能源保障高度来规划分布式冷热电联供,规划决策中要按照具体情况,以经济性、能效和碳排放指标是否最优为判据.CCHP可以调峰换取电价,实现互利双赢.制订区域DES/CCHP规划时应注意区域能源规划先行,摆脱热电联产的思维定势,树立冷热电联供的科学理念,不可忽视向居民供应生活热水起到的提高能效的作用,以及如何确定电力负荷、装机容量和节能减排指标等问题.     

Energy and exergy analysis of a micro-compressed air energy storage and air cycle heating and cooling system

Energy storage systems are becoming more important for load leveling, especially for widespread use of intermittent renewable energy. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising method for energy storage, but large scale CAES is dependent on suitable underground geology. Micro-CAES with man-made air vessels is a more adaptable solution for distributed future power networks.

Dynamic simulation of hydrogen-based zero energy buildings with hydrogen energy storage for various climate conditions

Solar energy systems are an effective way to meet the needs of zone heating, cooling, electricity, and domestic hot water. However, to reach sustainability, and energy storage unit should be considered for installation. In this study, two combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems are simulated and studied using TRNSYS software; both using natural gas engine generators and photovoltaics as prime movers and a hydrogen fuel cell/electrolyzer storage unit, one with absorption chiller and another with compression chiller cooling. For the study, a residential building is modeled for three major populated climate zones of the United States of America, namely, Hot-humid, mixed-humid and cold using DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus software. The energy demand for its HVAC operation and domestic electricity is obtained and used for system simulation in TRNSYS software. Due to choosing actual equipment for the CCHP arrangement, precise economic and environmental models are designed to further evaluate the possibility of execution of the system. The results show that absorption chiller-equipped CCHP has better performance both environmentally and economically. In addition, the outcome shows that the suggested systems show less favorability to be utilized in hot humid climate zones.     

Multiple effects of energy storage units on combined cooling,heating and power (CCHP) systems

Albeit numerous studies discussing manifold issues of combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) systems, there is still lack of theoretical studies indicating to what extent the energy mismatch and the deviating working conditions affect the CCHP performance, absence of reports systematically summarizing the multiple effects of energy saving units (ESUs), and deficiency of research quantifying the benefits from ESUs to energy savings. The shortage of such studies will confuse some CCHP designers when a CCHP system is designed. Therefore, in this research, theoretical discussions have been undertaken about the energy mismatch issue between CCHP systems and their users as well as the multiple effects of ESUs on CCHP systems. An improved calculational method of energy storage rate (ESR) has been adopted to evaluate the energy savings performance of CCHP systems. Two general heat‐to‐electricity ratios (R_user for CCHP users and R_CCHP for CCHP systems) have been used to quantify the energy mismatch between CCHP systems and their users. In the regime of ‘priority of providing cooling’, the ESR reaches its maximum when R_user is equal to R_CCHP. Otherwise, the ESR tends to decrease rapidly, especially when the electrical demand must be supplemented from the grid. Furthermore, when the CCHP system produces more electricity than required, the payment mode of extra electricity from the CCHP system will significantly affect the ESR. Therefore, it is imperative to reach an international consensus regarding the dispose of extra CCHP products. The theoretical analyses also corroborate the advantages of incorporating an ESU into a CCHP system. The ESU enables the CCHP system components to operate at their optimal working conditions. Meanwhile, the power generation unit and the absorption refrigerator capacities can then be reduced. Moreover, the ESU also promotes the productivity of electricity and ensures an undiminished ESR regardless of what extra electricity payment mode is adopted.

Research,development and the prospect of combined cooling,heating, and power systems

The development of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system in China is presented in this paper. The key scientific problems of a distributed energy system and the integration principles of a CCHP system are also pointed out. Moreover, two corresponding CCHP systems: one with the complementarities of fossil fuels energy and renewable energy, and the other integrated with desalination technology, are investigated. With special attention to thermal energy utilization, the integrating characteristics of these systems are likewise revealed, and the important role that the principle of cascade utilization of physical energy plays in system integration is identified. We have found that the energy-saving ratio of the integrated CCHP systems can be as high as 30%, and as such, the innovative CCHP systems suitable for China's sustainable development are also recommended.     

Emission operational strategy for combined cooling,heating, and power systems

Integrated Energy Systems (IES), as technology that use thermal activated components to recover waste heat, are energy systems that offer key solution to global warming and energy security through high overall energy efficiency and better fuel use. Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP) Systems are IES that use recovered thermal energy from the prime mover to produce heating and cooling for the building. The CCHP operational strategy is critical and it has to be considered in a well designed system since it defines the ultimate goal for the benefits expected from the system. One of the most common operational strategies is the cost-oriented strategy, which allows the system to operate at the lowest cost. A primary energy strategy (PES) optimizes energy consumption instead of cost. However, as a result of the worldwide concern about global warming, projects that target reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have gained a lot of interest. Therefore, for a CCHP system, an emission strategy (ES) would be an operational strategy oriented to minimize emission of pollutants. In this study, the use of an ES is proposed for CCHP systems targeted to reduce emission of pollutants. The primary energy consumption (PEC) reduction and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission reduction obtained using the proposed ES are compared with results obtained from the use of a PES. Results show that lower emission of CO₂ is achieved with the ES when compared with the PES, which prove the advantage of the ES for the design of CCHP systems targeted to emissions reduction.

Performance analysis of CCHP and CHP systems operating following the thermal and electric load

Heating and cooling energy requirements for buildings are usually supplied by separated systems such as furnaces or boilers for heating, and vapor compression systems for cooling. For these types of buildings, the use of combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems or combined heating and power (CHP) systems are an alternative for energy savings. Different researchers have claimed that the use of CCHP and CHP systems reduces the energy consumption related to transmission and distribution of energy. However, most of these analyses are based on reduction of operating cost without measuring the actual energy use and emissions reduction. The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of CCHP and CHP systems operating following the electric load (FEL) and operating following the thermal load (FTL), based on primary energy consumption (PEC), operation cost, and carbon dioxide emissions (CDE) for different climate conditions. Results show that CCHP and CHP systems operated FTL reduce the PEC for all the evaluated cities. On the other hand, CHP systems operated FEL always increases the PEC. The only operation mode that reduces PEC and CDE while reducing the cost is CHP‐FTL. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A linear programming optimization model for optimal operation strategy design and sizing of the CCHP systems

Combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) system offers numerous potential advantages for the supply of energy to residential buildings in the sense of improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental burdens. To realize the potential for being more beneficial, however, such systems must reduce total costs relative to conventional systems. In this study, a linear programming optimization model was presented for optimum planning and sizing of CCHP systems. The purpose of the model is to give the design of the CCHP system by considering electrical chiller and absorption chiller simultaneously in economic viewpoint. A numerical study was conducted in Tehran to evaluate the CCHP system model. The linear programming (LP) model determines the optimal sizes of the CCHP equipment by considering capital cost of the system. It showed that by considering electricity buyback, the optimum size of the electrical chiller decrease and the optimum size of the combined heat and power (CHP) unit and the absorption chiller increase dramatically with respect to without electricity buyback. Also, the LP model determines the optimal operation strategy of the system by neglecting capital cost. The optimally operated CCHP system encompassing electrical and absorption chiller could result in an 18% decrease in operating cost when compared to a CHP system encompassing electrical chiller only. Without electricity buyback, the profitability of CCHP was 23%, while with electricity buyback, profitability became 39%. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to show how the important parameters affect the entire system performance.

A high proportion of new energy access–combined cooling,heating, and power system planning method

Distributed generation (DG) technologies are environmentally friendly and have low operating costs, and thus, distributed generators are widely used for the energy supplies of buildings. Solar energy used for on‐demand heating of buildings is also a mature technology that is environmentally friendly and inexpensive and has a short recycling life cycle. This paper proposes a high proportion of new energy access–combined cooling, heating, and power (HPNE‐CCHP) system composed of a distributed generator and solar energy heat pump system. To obtain the optimum capacity of the HPNE‐CCHP system, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm‐II (NSGA‐II) was used to optimize the system by considering the life cycle cost (LCC) and life cycle pollutant emissions (LCPE) as the objective functions. A mixed integer economic scheduling model (MIESM) was proposed to make the HPNE‐CCHP system operate more economically. Finally, an HPNE‐CCHP system was constructed for a building in Northern China. The simulation results show that an HPNE‐CCHP system with a moderate proportion of new energy is more economical and environmentally friendly than a traditional CCHP system. Building occupants, depending on their desired spending, can select the best capacity configuration on the Pareto frontier. Although pollutant emissions will be reduced as the proportion of new energy increases, this type of configuration is expensive.     

Energy management strategy and capacity optimization for CCHP system integrated with electric-thermal hybrid energy storage system

In order to improve the comprehensive energy utilization rate of combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system, a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is proposed in this paper consisting of electric and thermal energy storage systems. And the overall optimization design and operation of CCHP system with HESS are the main problems to be solved in application. Therefore, the topology and the energy flow model of CCHP system with HESS are established and analyzed according to the energy conversion characteristics of the component equipment. Moreover, combined with five evaluative restrictions for HESS system, a rule-based energy management strategy is designed to realize the decoupling regulation of electric energy and thermal energy in CCHP system. On this basis, a multi-objective optimization model is studied by taking the indicators of annual cost ratio, the primary energy consumption ratio, and loss energy ratio, and then the capacity parameters are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSOA). Finally, a case is carried out to compare the energy allocation situations and capacity optimization results between CCHP system with HESS and CCHP system with single thermal energy storage system (ST). Results show that the capacity of ICE is reduced by 34%, and the annual cost and the primary energy consumption are saved about 7.69% and 18.47%, respectively, demonstrating that HESS has better optimization effect and applicable for small-scale CCHP system.     

Analysis of combined cooling,heating, and power systems based on source primary energy consumption

Combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) is a cogeneration technology that integrates an absorption chiller to produce cooling, which is sometimes referred to as trigeneration. For building applications, CCHP systems have the advantage to maintain high overall energy efficiency throughout the year. Design and operation of CCHP systems must consider the type and quality of the energy being consumed. Type and magnitude of the on-site energy consumed by a building having separated heating and cooling systems is different than a building having CCHP. Therefore, building energy consumption must be compared using the same reference which is usually the primary energy measured at the source. Site-to-source energy conversion factors can be used to estimate the equivalent source energy from site energy consumption. However, building energy consumption depends on multiple parameters. In this study, mathematical relations are derived to define conditions a CCHP system should operate in order to guarantee primary energy savings.
