Abstract
The µCHP is expected as the successor of
the conventional high-efficiency boiler producing next to
heat also electricity with a comparable overall efficiency.
A µCHP appliance saves money and reduces greenhouse
gas emission.
An additional functionality of the µCHP is using the
appliance as a backupgenerator in case of a power outage.
The µCHPcould supply the essential loads, the heating and
reduce the discomfort up to a certain level. This requires
modi��?cations on the µCHP appliance itself as well as on
the domestic electricity infrastructure. Furthermore some
extra hardware and a control algorithm for load balancing
are necessary.
Our load balancing algorithm is supposed to start and
stop the µCHP and switch off loads if necessary. The ��?rst
simulation results show that most of the electricity usage
is under the maximum generation line, but to reduce the
discomfort an electricity buffer is required.
