Impact of heat recovery and thermal load control on combined heat and power (CHP) performance

This research assesses the energy efficiency and techno-economic viability of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system designed for a typical building that meets both its electrical (97 kWh/d) and thermal (92 kWh/d) loads. The CHP system comprises wind turbines (WT), photovoltaic panels (PV), batterie...
