It is expected that residential units may replace   traditional heat and power production systems with cogeneration ones. Among the different cogeneration systems, fuel cell based systems are a suitable choice due to their high efficiency, high power density, low emission and low noise. In this paper, a cogeneration system based on solid oxide fuel cells is examined. The system, including the f...

Integrating large-scale micro-generation in distribution grids is challenging for distribution grid operators, particularly when renewable energy sources (RES) and micro-cogeneration are involved. In this paper we contend that recent developments in multiagent decision making under uncertainty can positively contribute to safe, efficient and costeffective operation of future distribution grids.

Two different methods were used to obtain polypyrrole/AuNP (Ppy/AuNP) composites. One through the electrooxidation of the pyrrole monomer in the presence of colloidal gold nanoparticles, referred to as trapping method (T), and the second one by electrodeposition of both components from one solution containing the monomer and a gold salt, referred to as cogeneration method (C). In both cases, el...

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. Furt...
