Micro cogeneration is a technology the installed power of which is less than equal to 50 kW, allows to produce electricity and heat simultaneously. Electricity, heat and hot water requirements for the buildings are in need of small scale energy can be provided by micro cogeneration technology. In addition to that cooling energy requirement for the air conditioning systems in the summer can be installed in the house as a mentality of trigeneration systems. Hence all energy needs such as electricity, heating, hot water and cooling can be provided by this system. Areas of usage is shopping mall, offices, campus/ student dormitory, villages etc. 80% - 90% of the fuel can be converted to the heat energy and it can be used as heating and hot water in the building. 15% of these energy is converted to the electric energy so the requirements of the building such as lightening and usage of electrical devices, can be provided by these systems. At the end, rest of 5% is rejected as waste gas. Hence, the system efficiency can reach by %95. Advantages of Micro Cogeneration Systems ·Electricity and heat can be produced simultaneously by one energy source. ·GHG emissions are reduced ·System loss arising from centralized energy production is prevented ·These systems are significantly efficient. It is because, the energy that more than you need can be sold. |
