This article presents a review of the available solutions of micro combined heat and power
systems. First part focuses on existing energy conversion devices. If internal combustion …

With the switching from fossil to renewable fuels, a wide range of cogeneration technologies
needs to be re-assessed to analyze their efficiency, lifetime, and maintenance performance …

This paper provides a perspective on the development of future district heating systems and
technologies and their role in future smart energy systems. The reviewed papers elaborate …

More and more operational flexibility is required from conventional power plants due to the
increasing share of weather-dependent renewable energy sources (RES) generation in the …

In recent years, pressure has been growing to increase the share of renewable energy
sources in electricity generation, which may offer opportunities for the development of …

Abstract Low power Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines are typically characterised by
flow efficiencies much smaller than those of large power steam or gas turbines. The paper …

The paper describes the method of CFD based Nelder-Mead optimization of a 10 kW single-
stage axial turbine operating in an ORC system working on R7100. The total-to-static …

This paper gives a comprehensive insight into gas microturbine (GMT) as a part of
microgeneration systems. The gas microturbine is a highly effective source that can operate …

We present a mathematical model of a tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and its
implementation in an in-house zero-dimensional code named COM-GAS. The proposed …

This study is conducted to optimize the nozzle and blade of a compact non-combustion
impulse gas turbine driven by the pressurized gas line with Computational Fluid Dynamics …
