This study presents a simple approach to estimate the capacity of combined heat and power (CHP) units suitable for installation in high heat-to-power ratio (HPR) buildings when excess electricity cannot be sold back to the grid. The two different methods used in this approach, a graphical method...

A dynamic simulation of micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems that includes the transient behavior of the system was developed by modeling the generation of electricity and recovery of heat separately. Residential load profiles were calculated based on statistical reports from a...
