Abstract
Micro-generators are devices installed in houses pro-
ducing electricity at kilowatt level. These appliances can
increase energy ef��?ciency signi��?cantly, especially when
their runtime is optimized. During power outages micro-
generators can supply critical systems and decrease dis-
comfort.
In this paper a model of the domestic electricity infras-
tructure of a house is derived and ��?rst versions of algo-
rithms for load/generation balancing during a power cut
are developed. In this context a microCHP device, produc-
ing heat and electricity at the same time with a high ef��?-
ciency, is used as micro-generator.
The model and the algorithms are incorporated in a sim-
ulator, which is used to study the effect of the algorithms for
load/generation balancing. The results show that with some
extra hardware all appliances in a house can be supplied,
however not always at the preferred time.
