Design and Operation of a Polygeneration System in Spanish Climate Buildings under an Exergetic Perspective

This work defines and analyzes the performance of a polygeneration system in five different locations in Spain to maintain the thermal comfort and air quality of an office building. The facility is based on a chiller and a CHP engine with PV panels that provide almost all the electricity demand of t...
