Abstract
This chapter evaluates the novel tri-generation system concept that is the focus of this thesis. It seeks to address, or at least narrow, the current research gap with an evaluation based on experimental evidence generated in a laboratory setting. In so doing the evaluation quantifies the performance of the system and offers suggestions for future work in the field.
