Developing a Model for a CHP System with Storage
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A model for a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system developed using Matlab is presented in this project. The model developed includes sub-models of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and generator, electrical and thermal storage systems, and power converters (rectifier and inverter). The model developed is able to simulate the performance of a CHP system when supplying user load. The battery electrical storage system is modelled and used as the electrical storage for this project, and the water storage tank is modelled and used as thermal storage. The project presents the model developed, and the results of the analysis done on the model. The model considered only heat from engine cooling, which is used to heat water to supply the DHW (District Hot Water) needs of the user. The results show that by the addition of storage to the CHP system, the overall system efficiency is increased by 32% indicating that the model developed is reliable, and the project is a feasible one.
