Abstract: Cogeneration is worldwide considered as the major option to achieve considerable energy saving with respect to traditional systems. This paper deals with the application of micro-cogeneration, Micro-Combined Heat and Power (MCHP) (electrical power &;60;15 kW) to small-scale (residential application) users for the assessment of its use in trigeneration; the state of art of this technology is considered, a test facility designed and built to evaluate the performances of MCHP-Electric Heat Pump (EHP) system itself is described and the Energetic, Economic and Environmental (3-E) analysis in some operation mode to match the users loads is proposed.

Keywords: micro cogeneration; internal combustion; experimental tests; MCHP; micro combined heat and power; CHP; electric heat pumps; EHP; energetic analysis; environmental analysis; economic analysis; environmental technology; residential applications. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
