Abstract: In this paper an economic analysis of a 1 kWe Stirling engine-based micro-CHP (combined heat and power) residential plant is developed, approaching the case of a Spanish detached house sited in a cold climatic zone. The work focuses on analysing how the latest modifications in the Spanish micro-CHP and renewable energies regulation affect viability of this technology, as well as predicting what results could be achieved if policy support mechanisms in Spain were like those in two other European countries, Germany and United Kingdom, where this kind of equipment has good acceptance.
