Research HighlightsCogeneration of Heat and Power Systems in domestic/residential application
Combined heat and power (CHP) systems constitute an upcoming technology that has the potential to replace the conventional processes used so far for the production of usable heat and electricity. The cogeneration of heat and power in a single process increases the system efficiency, while it decreases the operational cost. The use of CHP systems in the domestic/residential sector becomes appealing from (i) an environmental, (ii) economical and (iii) efficiency oriented point of view. Aspects of high-fidelity modeling of such systems as well as their optimal design, operation and control are investigated via the application of the PAROC framework and the use or multi-parametric receding horizon techniques. |
