However, the resources and primary energies are limited and short stocked, and the energy production technologies have environmental and social impacts on production and exploration. One alternative is to reuse the energy waste in the processes. In this study, a trigeneration system in a large scale out of grid consumption is analyzed and a technical-economic feasibility is elaborated. The case study is based on an isolated tropical island. For the baseline scenario, two traditional energy production systems that does not contain energy recovery in the engines are assumed to be implemented. For the improved scenario, a trigeneration system absorption chiller is analyzed. An economic analysis of this project was given the indicators obtained, it was possible to conclude that the use of a trigeneration system on an isolated large scale out of grid energy consumption system, is feasible and preferable.","PeriodicalId":43245,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42929317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the interest is to develop an accurate model of a PV module in order to predict its electrical characteristics. For this purpose, an artificial neural network (ANN) based on the backpropagation algorithm is proposed for the performance prediction of a photovoltaic module. In this modeling approach, the temperature and illumination are taken as inputs and the current of the mathematical model as output for the learning of the ANN-PV-Panel. Simulation results showing the performance of the ANN model in obtaining the electrical properties of the chosen PV panel, including I–V curves and P–V curves, in comparison with the mathematical model performance are presented and discussed. The given results show that the error of the maximum power is very small while the current error is about 10-8, which means that the obtained model is able to predict accurately the outputs of the PV panel.","PeriodicalId":43245,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49625055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three other parameters are calculated as functions of the two predicted parameters using a linear system of three equations.
