In order to meet the requirements of users by adjusting the proportion of cooling, heating and power via different operation strategies under the condition of limited geothermal resources, one kind of solar-geothermal poly-generation system of combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) was proposed, in which low-temperature geothermal energy could be utilized with the assistance of hybrid absorption heat pump. The performance of the system was analyzed from four aspects of thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency, exergy economic cost and CO2 emission reduction. Results show that under the condition of limited geothermal supply, users' cooling, heat and power demand can be allocated via the system by adjusting the operation mode of the heat pump group. Thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency of the system are 37.7% and 12.15%, respectively under designed refrigeration condition while they are 53.44% and 40.68%, respectively under designed heating condition. The exergy economic analysis shows that the cost of supplying cooling water is 1.98 yuan/(kW·h) and the cost of supplying hot water is 0.81 yuan/(kW·h). Compared with traditional gas-fired boilers, in terms of environmental friendliness, CO2 emission per ton of geothermal water for the system can be reduced by 7.5 kg/h and 11.6 kg/h, respectively under designed refrigeration and heating conditions.
