Design criteria for mCCHP electric system

In the frame of the European Research Project RO 0054, entitled: “Integrated micro CCHP-Stirling Engine based on renewable energy sources, for the isolated residential consumers from South-East region of Romania”, there are analized the main performances required by the mCCHP electric system. The authors of the paper propose a method that leads to the selection of the optimum solution depending of the specific requirements of the residential house. The general method presented in the paper is applicable for such kind of residential homes and leads to a design algorithm that will be used for the project.
