6 FAQs about [The development of combined heat and power microgrids]

Are combined heat & power plants a microgrid hero?

Combined heat and power (CHP) plants are unsung microgrid heroes. With the ability to produce a continuous, controllable baseload source of electric and thermal energy, CHP remains a uniquely practical resource, especially for mission-critical facilities operating microgrids.

What is a microgrid?

This fact sheet provides an overview of microgrids—groups of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries that act as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. Combined Heat and Power Technology Fact Sheet: Microgrids

How can a CHP system improve microgrid power?

A properly configured and designed CHP solution can provide resilient microgrid power with dramatically reduced carbon intensity. Practical facility leaders are installing CHP systems with future proofing in mind, designing provisions that accommodate alternative fueling sources as they become viable.

Do CHP plants make microgrids work?

Perhaps most importantly, CHP plants make microgrids work. All-electric heating systems increase reliance on limited power supplies, while CHP plants improve district energy systems’ resilience. Electric heating systems place added strain onto microgrids, while CHP plants enhance microgrid reliability.

What is a micro-combined heat and power system?

Here we develop a micro–combined heat and power system powered by an opposed-piston engine to simultaneously generate electricity and provide heat to residential homes or light commercial buildings. The developed prototype attains the maximum AC electrical efficiency of 35.2%.

Will phasing out natural gas-fired systems decarbonize microgrids?

Phasing out natural gas-fired systems — CHP included — may seem like an intuitive decarbonization measure. However, electrification will result in dramatic increases in electrical demand, heightening the challenge for microgrid operations. Combined heat and power (CHP) plants are unsung microgrid heroes.
