Experimental Characterization of Transitory Functioning Regimes of a Biomass Stirling Micro-CHP

Micro-cogeneration (micro-combined heat and power) is a technology that simultaneously produces decentralized thermal electrical energy with power of less than 50 kWel. This consists using the waste generated by thermodynamic process to meet heating hot water demands buildings. The use biomass as fuel offers important advantages: renewable energy, carbon neutrality, availability, low cost. Furthermore, analysis optimization hybrid systems, which include existing micro-cogeneration systems powered scientific challenge needing experimental characterization such systems. In this context, Stirling micro-CHP unit (μCHP), was tested characterize its performance. A dynamic model based on these investigations developed evaluate output efficiencies. dependence nominal load flow rate consumer inlet temperature fluid heated cogeneration system studied. Results showed transfer rejecting from μCHP influences exiting supply domestic user, which, if too high, will prompt self-guarding mechanism machine.
