In the polygeneration process simultaneous production of power, vapor absorption

refrigeration (VAR) cooling and multi-effect humidification and dehumidification (MEHD)
desalination system from different heat sources in hybrid solar-biomass (HSB) system with
higher energy efficiency take place. It is one of the solutions to fulfill energy requirements
from renewable sources and also helps in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The VAR
cooling system operates using the extracted heat taken from turbine and condenser heat of
the VAR cooling system is used in desalination system for production of drinking water as per
demand requirement. Though the production of electricity decreases due to extraction of heat
from turbine for VAR cooling and desalination, the complete system meets the energy
requirements & increases the primary energy savings (PES). The thermodynamic evaluation
and optimization of HSB system in polygeneration process for combined power, cooling and
desalination is investigated to identify the effects of various operating parameters. Primary
energy savings (PES) of polygeneration process in HSB system is achieved to 50.5%. The
energy output is increased to 78.12% from this system as compared to simple power plant.
