Parametric Investigation of a Trigeneration System with an Organic Rankine Cycle and Absorption Heat Pump Driven by Parabolic Trough Collectors for the Building Sector

This article presents a simulation study which focuses on the thermodynamic analysis of a solar-driven trigeneration system for heating, cooling, and electricity production. The system uses parabolic trough collectors operating with Therminol VP-1 for feeding an organic Rankine cycle operating with...
