Innovative Management of Microgeneration Technology in UK Residences
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In this research, an investigation of various microgeneration technologies is presented. Microgeneration in newly build homes accounts for almost half of UK CO2 emissions and energy demand savings and has been growing for several years. A survey has been conducted of builders in Manchester city in the UK, and the results are presented together with an analysis of implementation in new build houses. Based on the analysis, including an economic analysis of Payback times, for four different technologies namely Wind Turbine, Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Thermal System and Biomass System, this report helps the house building industry to realize the risks and issues associated with building microgeneration units. In addition a case study of a company specialised in the area of microgeneration has been done. The Case study looked at the views of the company on the practical issues of microgeneration in the UK. These views are also presented in the report. Solar thermal energy is found to be most attractive compared with the three other microgeneration technologies. Finally key conclusions are drawn and some suggestions are given for future work.
