Small cogeneration heating plants (micro-CHP or Combined Heat and Power) are innovative systems that simultaneously produce both heat for heating and hot water, and electricity.
Small cogeneration heating systems (micro-CHP) operate using a Stirling engine built into the boiler, which converts part of the heat into electricity. The fuel can be conventional firewood, pellets, wood chips, husks or practically any other loose biomass.
The main advantage is that when the boiler is fired, in addition to the usual heat for the room and water, electricity is also produced in parallel, which can be used immediately, sold to the grid or stored in a battery.
Produce electricity – by firing a boiler!
Advantages of small cogeneration heating plants (micro-CHP)
Higher energy efficiency: Since both the heat and electricity produced are used, small combined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems are much more efficient than heat production with a conventional boiler or electricity production separately (e.g. with a diesel generator). The overall energy efficiency of small combined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems can reach up to 85-95%.
Reduced costs: In the long term, these systems can help reduce energy bills by reducing dependence on the central electricity grid and optimizing fuel use.
Energy independence: Small combined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems can provide both partial and complete independence from the central electricity grid. Partial independence is achieved by simply generating electricity with the micro-CHP during heating. In combination with solar panel systems and batteries, these systems can provide complete independence from the central electricity grid. In the summer, electricity will be generated by the sun, but during the heating season, electricity will be generated by firing a micro-CHP boiler.
Security of electricity supply: Small cogeneration heating units (micro-CHP) provide additional security in the event of a power outage. Especially if the appropriate system infrastructure has been built and a battery installed. The unit will also generate electricity during the heating season, when the efficiency of solar panels is traditionally low and cannot provide self-consumption for the building.
Application of small cogeneration heating plants (micro-CHP)
Small cogeneration heating plants (micro-CHP) are a versatile solution that provides significant benefits for a variety of needs.
