Definition
1. The simultaneous generation of electricity and useful heating and cooling from the combustion of a fuel or a solar heat collector.
2. Trigeneration or combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP), is the process by which some of the heat produced by a cogeneration plant is used to generate chilled water for air conditioning or refrigeration. An absorption chiller is linked to the combined heat and power (CHP) to provide this functionality.
benefits: - high efficiency production
