  7. Abstract:
  8. There is a growing potential for the use of micro-cogeneration systems in the residential sector because they have the ability to produce both useful thermal energy and electricity from a single source of fuel such as oil or natural gas. Benefits of cogeneration system will cover around 25% of internal electricity needs of ceramic, around 30 % saving in global fuel consumption, reduction of carbon dioxide. In tile factories, there is a system called a spray dryer. This system can use hot air to produce the soil needed to produce ceramic tiles. This hot air is supplied by a very large burner. In developed countries, instead of a burner, a gas turbine is used to produce hot air, with the difference that in addition to hot air, electricity is also produced. This system, which in addition to generating hot air, also generates electricity, is called the cogeneration system. In cogeneration systems, the efficiency of energy conversion increases to over 80% as compared to an average of 30–35% for conventional fossil fuel-fired electricity generation systems. This increase in energy efficiency can result in lower costs and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when compared to the conventional methods of generating heat and electricity separately. A review of renewable energy-based cogeneration technologies, performance assessment of cogeneration plants, and residential cogeneration systems: review of the current technology are some research titles that had been researched before. The main goal of this project is to study the sustainability of electricity and heat generation systems in tile factories, in which the main criteria of sustainability and its evaluation will be examined. The Thesis will conduct a comprehensive literature review about the recent publication in the area of cogeneration systems and their applications in sustainability. Discussing the research gaps, the paper proposes an assessment framework for cogeneration system evaluation based on the sustainability paradigm. Using different case studies, the capabilities of the purposed platform will be investigated.
