Introduction Simple principle, great result A heat pump works in a similar way to a fridge – simply the other way round. In a fridge, heat is transferred from the inside The gas created is compressed by the scroll to the outside. With a heat pump, this compressor, which causes it to heat up. The happens exactly the other way round. Heat gas heated in this way transfers its heat via from the air or the ground is transferred the condenser to the heating water or DHW into the living space via the heating system. heating system, and thereby condenses Vapour from a refrigerant is compressed to again. Finally, the refrigerant, which is still increase the temperature, to make it high under pressure, is expanded in an expansion enough for central heating and DHW heating. valve, and the circuit begins again. In this process, the Vitocal 350-G reaches up to 72 °C; the Vitocal 350-A up to 65 °C. A heat pump can make use of the These heat pumps can therefore also be following energy sources: used for modernisation as they can provide a sufficiently high flow temperature for central Air – practically unlimited availability; heating with radiators. lowest investment costs Ground – via geothermal collector or Highly efficient scroll compressor geothermal probe; very efficient The compression process is vital for Water – extremely efficient; observe the efficiency of a heat pump. For this, water quality Viessmann uses a Compliant scroll Waste heat – subject to availability, volume compressor. It is characterised by quiet and temperature level of the waste heat operation, low vibrations, low maintenance and an extremely long service life. The best heat source for each individual case depends on local conditions and the actual To generate heat, for example, heat is heat demand. extracted from the ambient air and used to evaporate a refrigerant that boils at Seasonal performance factor low temperature. The coefficient of performance (COP) is the ratio of the heat transfer to the power consumption. The seasonal performance factor is the average of all COPs occurring in a year. Heat pump VITOCAL 300 The coefficient of performance is used to compare heat pumps with regard to efficiency, yet it only applies at a certain operating point under defined temperature Compression process conditions. For planning (for example, to be able to 55 °C specify the consumption costs arising from using a heat pump), it is necessary to consider the heat pump operation over the whole year. For this, the heat volume transferred over the year is given in relation to the overall electrical Ground power drawn by the heat pump system over temperature all year round between 5 and 18 °C (at 2 m depth) the same period.

CHP and tri-generation systems offer high energy conversion efficiency and hence the potential to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions. This paper serves to provide a state-of-the-art review of fuel cell technology operating in the domestic built environment in CHP and tri-generation system applications. The review aims to carry out an assessment of the following topics: (1) the operational advantages fuel cells offer in CHP and tri-generation system configurations, specifically, compared to conventional combustion based technologies such as Stirling engines, (2) how decarbonisation, running cost and energy security in the domestic built environment may be addressed through the use of fuel cell technology, and (3) what has been done to date and what needs to be done in the future. The paper commences with a review of fuel cell technology, then moves on to examine fuel cell CHP systems operating in the domestic built environment, and finally explores fuel cell tri-generation systems in domestic built environment applications. The paper concludes with an assessment of the present development of, and future challenges for, domestic fuel cells operating in CHP and tri-generation systems.

  • Analysis of the Potential for Gas Micro-Cogeneration Development in Poland Using the Monte Carlo Method
    energies Article Analysis of the Potential for Gas Micro-Cogeneration Development in Poland Using the Monte Carlo Method Dominik Kryzia 1 , Marta Kuta 2 , Dominika Matuszewska 2 and Piotr Olczak 1,* 1 Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, 7A Wybickiego St., 31-261 Cracow, Poland; [email protected] 2 AGH University of Science and Technology, 30 Mickiewicza Ave., 30-059 Cracow, Poland; [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (D.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 April 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 17 June 2020 Abstract: Micro-cogeneration (mCHP) is a promising solution for the generation of heat and electricity in households, it contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in countries where the production of electricity is mainly based on fossil fuels. Its dissemination in Poland faces barriers in the form of high purchase prices in relation to electricity productivity. In this work 1% of the household population in Poland was analyzed using the Monte Carlo method. It was found that for mCHP to become economically profitable for a group of at least 10,000 households, its price should fall from around 18,000 euros (711.5 euros/kWth and 18,000 euros/kWe) to 4800 euros (189.7 euros/kWth and 4800 euros/kWe) and for 100,000 households to 4100 euros (162.1 euros/kWth and 4100 euros/kWe). These calculations were made for fixed gas and electricity prices. The analysis also included cases of various changes in gas and energy prices. Faster growth of electricity prices than gas prices reduce the profitability barrier.
