Optimal architectures of domestic mCCHP systems based on renewable sources

摘要

The paper aims to provide optimal architectures mCCHP systems that use renewable energy sources. The mCCHP system architecture is dependent on the correlation between consumer demand for energy and energy production system mCCHP. The mCCHP systems, by controlling the fuel consumption can track the consumers electrical energy demand -electrical load control (ELC) or the consumers thermal energy demand - thermal load control(TLC). For each method of controlling power generation of mCCHP system is analyzed the correlation between demand and production depending on ratio power to heat (cogeneration index) of mCCHP system. Based on these correlations we can to determine additional components to be placed in the mCCHP system. These additional components are photovoltaic (PV) modules, thermal collectors, and hybrid photovoltaic/ thermal (PV/T) systems can be effectively coupled to bottoming cooling/heating equipment.
