Micro-combined heat and power systems (micro-CHP) based on renewable energy sources
This article presents a review of the available solutions of micro combined heat and power systems. First part focuses on existing energy conversion devices. If internal combustion engine technology seems to be the more mature and economically viable, several research and development works aim to develop other systems such as Stirling engine, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and fuel cells. The second part deals with renewable energy fuelled micro combined heat and power systems with a focus on solar energy-based technologies.
