Advantages of autonomous plants for co-generation of electricity, heat and cold

Usefulness of establishing of independent thermal power stations (mini-TES) for production of electrical energy and heat on the basis of gaspiston generators for electric power, heat and cold supply to office and public buildings is considered. Daily schedules of consumption of these kinds of energy and a schedule of heat and cold production at the TES are given; possibilities of use of surplus heat as produced on the TES for the needs of cooling with the help of adsorption refrigerating machines are described. An example of calculation of two versions of energy supply to the building: from the mains and from the independent line of TES is considered; economic advantage of the second version is calculated.
