Résumé

In this paper, the authors develop a dynamic model of a commercial micro-combined heat and power (mCHP) unit and analyse its dynamic behaviour when the engine is running at different mass flow inputs. The simulation predicts with a low root mean bias error (RMSE) the most important outputs from the cogeneration unit during the starting, steady-state and stopping periods. Furthermore, the presented transient model reproduces the behaviour of the cogeneration unit when the fuel and air mass flows are changing. The obtained results are discussed, and the different possibilities for the variation of the thermal to power ratio are analysed. These combinations include the variation of the flow distribution inside the machine and the position of the exhaust heat exchanger. The power to thermal ratio can be modified between 0.15 and 0.26 for these combinations. The performance of the engine and the variation of the heat source temperature are also analysed theoretically. The simulation results conclude that an important saving could be obtained when the electrical to thermal ratio (ETTR) is tracked for the power or thermal demands from a dwelling.
