In the Arabian Gulf region, we can observe significant strain of the electricity
system providing power also for cooling purposes. It is especially visible in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia due to avalanche increase in the electricity demand for cooling purposes.
Design and erection of a Multigeneration source in close proximity to the media recipients
will de- crease the infrastructure load and due to significant share of renewable energy, also
decrease environmental footprint. The paper presents an innovative system for cooling,
heating, power and desalinated water production based on a novel triple- component chiller
configuration supplied from Combined Heat and Power source and Solar Panels Field. The
system has been erected in King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). The
presented system consists of Li-Br absorp- tion chiller, adsorption chiller, compressor chiller,
two Diesel internal combustion engines and solar panel field. The system has been designed
and erected in a fully fuel-flexible manner enabling separate operation of each and every
equipment in any possible configuration enabling verification of various operation strategies
implementing fossil fuels as well as renewable heating.
