Abstract
The effective usage of energy is an important factor in our country and world. The cogeneration system is one of the methods for the effective usage of energy. The cogeneration system in recent technology is about 30% more effective in reducing fuel consumption and carbon footprint compared to the power and heat production efficiency for traditional systems feeding by fossil fuels. Over the last decade, extensive research has been undertaken on the optimization and use of low-capacity internal combustion gas engines in micro-combined heat-power systems. Problems such as the technology used in the micro-cogeneration system, fuel type and performance, efficiency of the system, utilization of different fuel types, noise, emission, maintenance problems have not been solved yet. In recent years, intensive studies have been carried out on the fuel cells that are being used for the cogeneration system, but the cost and the low life span of fuel cell cogeneration systems are preventing it from becoming widespread. With the proposed system, it will be easily applied in small scale places such as houses, offices, campuses, hospitals, shopping malls, and electricity and heat production efficiency will be used effectively for low CO2 emission. In this paper, the integration of an internal combustion engine which has 9.8kW and 1500 revolutions per minute (rpm) properties, a synchronous generator and grid connection have been successfully achieved and the performance results of the proposed system have been obtained by using MATLAB/Simulink.
Highlights
The increasing demand for energy has led to environmental damages in our world and threaten human health and the ecological balance of the world with the industrial revolution
The micro-cogeneration system based on the internal combustion engine in this study is proposed due to easy the maintenance of internal combustion engines according to other systems, being known its technology for a long time and being the system long
Where Pe is total annual electrical or mechanical power generated from cogeneration, Ph is the total annual amount of useful heat energy from cogeneration, C is the ratio of total annual electrical or mechanical power energy to total annual useful heat energy
Summary
The increasing demand for energy has led to environmental damages in our world and threaten human health and the ecological balance of the world with the industrial revolution. In addition to being environmentally and financially beneficial in electricity generation, the micro-combined heat-power system used to meet waste heat or hot water needs and to reduce carbon emissions is an efficient system [1]. Researchers have worked to integrate eco-friendly, high performance and low-maintenance sources of maintenance These integrated systems are referred to in the literature as renewable energy sources based on micro-cogeneration systems. The micro-cogeneration system based on the internal combustion engine in this study is proposed due to easy the maintenance of internal combustion engines according to other systems, being known its technology for a long time and being the system long.
