“…For example, assessment of FCs (Dorer et al, 2005;Alanne et al, 2006;, assessment of ICEs (Possidente et al, 2006), assessment of SEs (Boait et al, 2006) and comparative assessments between different technologies (Cockroft and Kelly, 2006;Peacock and Newborough, 2006;De Paepe and Mertens, 2007) have been conducted. The effects of uncertainties of objectives such as operation cost and constraints such as CO concentration in PEMFC on the energy system synthesis/design and operation/control optimisation have been also studied (Kim, 2008).…”

Residential applications are considered among the most important areas for substantial reduction of CO 2 emissions because they represent a major part of the total consumed energy in those countries. In order to achieve a significant CO 2 reduction, many initiatives must be adopted in the policy of these countries. One of these initiatives is to introduce micro combined heat and power (µCHP) systems into residential energy systems, since they offer several advantages such as the ability to burn not just natural gas but renewable fuels (Taylor, 2005).This paper summarises key points that outline the trend of previous research carried out in the field of µCHP systems in residential energy systems, especially for single dwellings. The reviewed areas include: residential energy demand and µCHP, technologies and auxiliary components used in residential µCHP systems, and control strategies and techniques for these systems.Biographical notes: Omar A.

“…In the past it has been common to model the performance of SE micro-cogeneration devices using performance-map methods wherein the device's electrical and thermal efficiencies are treated as constant or are a parametric function of the device's loading [13][14][15]. This approach essentially decouples the modelling of the SE micro-cogeneration device from that of the house and other aspects of the thermodynamic system and as such precludes an accurate treatment of the thermal coupling to the building and its HVAC system, as demonstrated by [16].…”

“…With an exponential distribution the large spikes in domestic electricity demand can be simulated quite accurately compared to empirical data from [21], [34], [37]. In creating individual domestic heat demand profiles, samples are taken from normal distributions, with the expected values equaling the average heat demand at that time period.…”

Abstract-With the increasing application of distributed energy resources and novel information technologies in the electricity infrastructure, innovative possibilities to incorporate the demand side more actively in power system operation are enabled. A promising, controllable, residential distributed generation technology is a micro combined heat and power system (micro-CHP). Micro-CHP is an energy efficient technology that simultaneously provides heat and electricity to households. In this paper we investigate to what extent domestic energy costs could be reduced with intelligent, price-based control concepts (demand response). Hereby, first the performance of a standard, so-called heat-led micro-CHP system is analyzed. Then, a model predictive control strategy aimed at demand response is proposed for more intelligent control of micro-CHP systems. Simulation studies illustrate the added value of the proposed intelligent control approach over the standard approach in terms of reduced variable energy costs. Demand response with micro-CHP lowers variable costs for households by about 1-14 %. The cost reductions are highest with the most strongly fluctuating real-time pricing scheme.Index Terms-micro combined heat and power systems, demand response, model predictive control.
