Small and micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems are a form of
cogeneration technology suitable for domestic and community
buildings, commercial establishments and industrial facilities, as
well as local heat networks. One of the benefits of using
cogeneration plant is a vastly improved energy efficiency: in some
cases achieving up to 80-90% systems efficiency, whereas
small-scale electricity production is typically at well below 40%
efficiency, using the same amount of fuel. This higher efficiency
affords users greater energy security and increased long-term
sustainability of energy resources, while lower overall emissions
levels also contribute to an improved environmental performance.
Small and micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems provides a
systematic and comprehensive review of the technological and
practical developments of small and micro CHP systems.
Part one opens with reviews of small and micro CHP systems and
their techno-economic and performance assessment, as well as their
integration into distributed energy systems and their increasing
utilisation of biomass fuels. Part two focuses on the development
of different types of CHP technology, including internal combustion
and reciprocating engines, gas turbines and microturbines, Stirling
engines, organic Rankine cycle process and fuel cell systems.
Heat-activated cooling (i.e. trigeneration) technologies and energy
storage systems, of importance to the regional/seasonal viability
of this technology round out this section. Finally, part three
covers the range of applications of small and micro CHP systems,
from residential buildings and district heating, to commercial
buildings and industrial applications, as well as reviewing the
market deployment of this important technology.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
contributors, Small and micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems
is an essential reference work for anyone involved or interested in
the design, development, installation and optimisation of small and
micro CHP systems.
