Abstract

A temperature control strategy for CHP unit was developed to achieve the desired room and water temperature of a dwelling. The CHP unit considered is based on a Stirling engine where only full-load and idling (or off) operation are possible. Cost optimisation of the CHP unit is performed to determine the economic operation of the unit for different times of the year for a single house. The cost optimisation model was extended to incorporate aCHP unit which is connected to two houses.
