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 decrease
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 triplecomponent
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 absorption
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.
