Abstract:
Decentralised power generation is becoming a relevant part of future energy supply systems within smart-grids. Micro-scale combined heat and power generation systems (micro-CHP systems) meet the necessary requirements perfectly and are thus expected to become an integral part of such future energy supply systems. The intensified development of biomass fed micro-CHP systems over the last few years provides substantial evidence for this claim. This paper provides an overview of technologies which are currently under development or close to market introduction. Two technologies, a steam piston engine and integrated thermoelectric power generation, were characterised with an evaluation method for comparing the electrical performance during practical operation cycles. The standardised method is presented.
