MINI-COGENERATION UNITS FOR DISTRIBUTED POWER AND HEAT SUPPLY

The paper describes the advantages of distributed power and heat with recently available mini-cogeneration units. The distributed system is a set of power and heat production units intended only to meet the requirements of a local user. The bacup power and heat may be delivered either from a parallel local unit or from an outside grid. The advantages are in the field of energy efficiency, lower emission of pollutants into atmosphere, lower capital and maintenance costs. The deregulation of the energy market and the changes in the delivery and price policies of power and heat has enabled a market niche applying a great number of small units. This paper presents the recent development in this field in Europe, specially describing the unit installed in Termalna Riviera in Rogaška Slatina. Specific design and economical features including some test results and details of installation, operational achievement, black start and utilisation of heat in spa swimming pool installation are presented in detail.
