The CCHP system continuously generates Electricity, Cooling and Heating and eliminates the need for backup power generators and their low efficiency and high emissions. This in turn has a dramatic effect on lowering emission levels, energy costs and increasing energy reliability and. . • A CHP system linked with a microgrid allows the customer to utilize electrical energy and the thermal energy (hot water, steam, or chilled water) produced by the microgrid's power generation system. • Increases overall efficiency, especially in the consumption of fuel feeding the microgrid's. . Climate change is an eminent global issue driving the world to transform both its energy generation and consumption to achieve the goal of net zero Green House Gas (GHG) or Carbon emissions within the next 20 – 40 years[1], [2]. (a) Global GHG emissions by Gas (b) Global GHG emissions by Sector. . In sum, the significance of the study entails assorted CCHP systems, FCs, their highlights, their applications and their pros and cons in a single reference document that anyone can easily use to holistically understand the characteristics of the CCHP systems. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the larger utility grid to operate in either. . The U.
