Abstract: Fuel cells offer many benefits for residential micro-cogeneration because of their high electrical efficiency, low emissions, and low heat-to-power ratio. However, the current design of fuel cell micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems for dwellings can be improved by better matching of the heat generated by the plant with the dwelling’s load profile and heat emitters.
