Abstract:Micro-combined heat and power (MCHP) systems generate heat and electricity concurrently, making them an ideal addition for home and small/medium business owners to generate their own electricity and replace conventional natural gas-burning boilers. Combining MCHP units with thermal and electric storage systems can aid in decoupling supply and demand of energy. In such a combined setup, MCHP units can run for prolonged periods when they not only cover existing demand but charge storage systems for deferred cons… Show more
