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