Özet

 In this paper, a trigeneration system that can meet the electricity, heating, and cooling needs of a factory in Bursa is introduced. The trigeneration system consists of a gas engine to produce electrical power, a single effect absorption chiller that uses LiBr/H2O as a working fluid for process cooling, and heat exchangers for heating. In this facility application, the investment and operating costs of the trigeneration system were determined, system feasibility was made, and payback periods in 3 different shifts were determined for alternative scenarios. For scenario 1; the payback period is 3,58 years, 5,47 years, 11,57 years, and for scenario 2; it is 10,47 years, 16,57 years, 39,72 years, respectively, when the factory operates in 3, 2, and 1 shift.
