Abstract
Trigeneration is spreading as an important energy production technique, above all considering that several distributed generation technologies give the possibility of adopting cogeneration and then trigeneration also on a small-scale basis. In this work a generalized approach to trigeneration characterization, planning and evaluation, introduced by the authors in previous works, is followed. In particular, the energy saving potentiality of direct-fired and water-fed absorption chillers, as well as engine-driven chillers, is explored, considering microturbines and internal combustion engines as prime movers. All the numerical applications refer to equipment commercially available.
