Electromechanical aspects of a micro-CHP system

Solutions Efficient operation of the gas turbine imposes the demand for very high rotational speed of the generator 240,000 rpm. The permanent magnet machine has been chosen as the generator type since this technology is the most promising for high-speed machines: it offers high efficiency and very high power density at low volumes. A high-frequency power converter is required to enable bi-dire...

Development of a Transient Model of a Stirling-Based CHP System

Although the Stirling engine was invented in 1816, this heat engine still continues to be investigated due to the variety of energy sources that can be used to power it (e.g., solar energy, fossil fuels, biomass, and geothermal energy). To study the performance of these machines, it is necessary to develop and simulate models under different operating conditions. In this paper, we present a one...

Small Scale Gasification: Gas Engine CHP for Biofuels

Islanded house operation using a micro CHP

The μCHP is expected as the successor of the conventional high-efficiency boiler producing next to heat also electricity with a comparable overall efficiency. A μCHP appliance saves money and reduces greenhouse
