Abstract

Over the years, and despite the energy efficiency measures and possibilities, there has been an increase in energy consumption worldwide. However, the resources and primary energies are limited and short stocked, and the energy production technologies have environmental and social impacts on production and exploration. One alternative is to reuse the energy waste in the processes. In this study, a trigeneration system in a large scale out of grid consumption is analyzed and a technical-economic feasibility is elaborated. The case study is based on an isolated tropical island. For the baseline scenario, two traditional energy production systems that does not contain energy recovery in the engines are assumed to be implemented. For the improved scenario, a trigeneration system absorption chiller is analyzed. An economic analysis of this project was given the indicators obtained, it was possible to conclude that the use of a trigeneration system on an isolated large scale out of grid energy consumption system, is feasible and preferable.
