  • Abstract
    In this paper the WhisperGen¿ micro combined heat and power (microCHP) system, its advantages, control and possible scope for improvement are explored. Concept of active Stirling engine (ASE) is introduced. A test rig designed to test possible improvements of the efficiency and controllability of a kinematic Stirling engine based microCHP system is explained.
