AbstractThe article considers the power supply system of a really existing social facility located in the central part of Russia, which comprises an ice palace, a swimming pool, a hotel and office complex, and a business center. At present, the facility receives power according to a cogeneration arrangement: it takes electricity and heat from a power park a centralized manner. Refrigeration and air conditioning demands are met by using vapor compression heat transformers installed in the social facility rooms. A trigeneration power supply arrangement is proposed, which involves combined generation of electricity, heat, and cold with supplying them to the social facility rooms in a centralized manner. The thermodynamic advantage of the trigeneration power supply arrangement for the considered social facility is demonstrated.
