Small-and micro-scale combined heat and power (CHP) technologies offer great potential
for reducing energy costs and CO 2 emissions in residential and small commercial …

Small-scale cogeneration of heat and power using solid biomass fuels is a promising option
for the decentralization of the energy supply in the future. In this context, numerous research …

During recent years the electricity supply chain (electricity production, consumption,
distribution, storage, and load management) has changed. In this context a new term …

Cogeneration provides heat and power in a more efficient way than separate production.
Micro-cogeneration (micro-CHP) is an emerging solution for the improvement of energy and …

There have been many studies conducted to replace the conventional internal combustion
engine (ICE) with a more efficient engine, due to increasing regulations over vehicles' …

Distributed energy systems have gained increased attention in recent years, due to their
