Abstract

Abstract An analytical method is developed to estimate the optimum size of cogeneration units in residential applications used for electrical supply, space heating and domestic hot water production. The method is validated by comparing its results with those of detailed simulation fromtwenty-five main cities of Greece, and found to achieve a coefficient of variation of root-mean squared error less than 4%. The optimum sized CHPcorresponds to 32-47% of maximum load, and proved to be mainly related to the heating degree-days of the area (correlation coefficient R= 0.985) rather than the minimum temperature.
