Popis: A novel combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system is proposed based on mixture consisting of CO2 and organic fluids to meet the seasonal energy demand in buildings. Thermodynamic model was constructed based on the laws of thermodynamics, and seasonal operation modes were also established. Techno-economic performance was analyzed and the performance of mixture consisting of CO2 and organic fluids compared with CO2 and pure organic fluids. Results show that the temperature of the turbine inlet in trans-critical power cycle should be 10 °C lower than the heat source temperature, with the turbine inlet pressure being approximately 1.4 times as large as critical pressure. Turbine inlet temperature is negatively correlated to the payback period and levelized energy cost while turbine inlet pressure is positively correlated to the system economic performance. The carbon dioxide content is negatively correlated to net power output, thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency, while coefficient of performance will hit the bottom with the carbon dioxide content, except CO2/Propane. For the carbon dioxide content is between 5 % and 10 %, the system overall performance is also close to optimal value. In general, CO2/R134a (0.10/0.90) and CO2/R1234ze(E) (0.10/0.90) is recommendable.
