A novel trigeneration system based on solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine integrated with compressed air and thermal energy storage concepts: Energy, exergy, and life cycle approaches

Energy storage technologies are considered as an available solution to improve the reliability of conventional energy systems as well as responding to the peak load. This paper offers a novel integrated system with remarkable potential to provide users’ electricity, heating, and cooling demand for small-scale distributed generation applications. The main objective of this research is improving thermodynamic efficiency as well as mitigating...
