Polygeneration with Polystorage: For Chemical and Energy Hubs

One of the most effective measures for increasing energy efficiency is the use of polygeneraton systems for simultaneous heating, cooling and electricity production.

Polygeneration with Polystorage for Energy and Chemicals addresses the problem of both traditional and dispersed generation, with a broad, multidisciplinary perspective making this book the first to bring a broader view on the topic of polygeneration, presenting the problem from different scientific and technical domains.

Outlining the framework of research direction towards polygeneration and polystorage in both micro and macro level, it includes detailed analysis and state-of-the-art developments in specific fields including storage in conventional energy supply chains and demand-side renewable polygeneration systems, while considering management of the system as well as the market mechanisms in place to support them.

This reference will be useful for academics and industries in the field of all conventional and unconventional energy systems.
