Abstract

The extensive use of fossil fuels has led to a series of energy and environmental issues. Generally speaking, energy conservation and using energy alternatives are two useful solutions to energy-related issues. Obviously, CCHP is a powerful tool to increase energy efficiency, and renewable energies are ideal energy alternatives. So the integration of them is a promising solution to energy-related issues. The integration of CCHP and renewables makes for a very strong proposition since it leads to the supply of clean energy. This chapter introduces the integration of CCHP systems with renewable energy. The integration of CCHP systems with each kind of renewable energy is presented in detail in each section.
