The TRIGEN project (Modular system for production of heating, cooling and electricity using ejector-boostedabsorption) project will confirm the technical feasibility of a tri-generation system, based on an integratedsystem of solar linear collector and a hybrid absorption heat pump, in the range of 50-100 kW for decentralizedapplications of energy production. The system is targeted at residential and service sectors although it can beapplied across all scales including industrial premises. The advantage of TRIGEN is its low capital cost, it can bemass produced and there is no cost and emissions associated with its energy input (i.e. solar - free and cleansource of energy). All of these benefits contribute to the energy “trilemma” by reducing emissions, reducingcost of generation and by increasing security of supply through the increased uptake of decentralisedgeneration systems. If successful, TRIGEN will bring solar energy closer to the user by developing a solution thatmakes it attractive and competitive for industries & households.
