Stirling Engines in Generating Heat and Electricity for micro - CHP Systems

摘要

In this paper, an analysis of different generating heat and electricity systems with Stirling engine is made from the point of view of benefits and limitations, both operational and economic and environmental. Stirling engine has the ability to work at low temperatures, and can also use all fossil fuels and biomass, to realize an environmentally friendly energy production. Stirling engines are more appropriate for the micro -CHP systems having the best value for overall system efficiency and they are regarded as the most promising for further development in generating energy systems for local use.
