Dette er den Skandinaviske internet siden for mikro CHP (mikro combinert energi og varme). Til tross for at makro CHP er relativt vanlig i Norden, den begrensede gass distribueringen, de historiske lave elektrisitet priser og klimatiske krav har så langt forhindret mikro CHP fra dette markedet. Uansett, et antall mikro CHP teknologier har blitt utviklet i Danmark, Sverige og Norge, og er nå introdusert på andre Europeiske markeder.
Mikro CHP produsere varme og elektrisitet samtidig i de individuelle hus. Ett mikro CHP aggregat erstatter gass kjelen i et hydronisk varme system og produserer varme og varmt vann som vanlig, men samtidig også det meste av elektrisitet i huset.

INTRODUCTION PRODUCTS EVENTS LINKS

For a simple introduction to what micro CHP is and how it works, click on the title above.  In 2004, the first true micro CHP units became available in the UK; products are now available in Germany, UK, Netherlands, Japan and USA.

Micro and mini CHP products which are available now and under development. 

Information on so-called "enabling technologies" which enhance the performance and value of the micro CHP products themselves is also included.

As interest in micro CHP grows, numerous conferences and similar events are continuously taking place.

The list is not exhaustive; please send details of any events you think should be included.

This section includes links to international energy related sites, with particular focus on Distributed Generation and micro CHP.  Links to manufacturers and developers of micro CHP can now be found within the relevant product sections.
ECONOMICS PUBLICATIONS PAPERS MICROGENERATION
Micro CHP offers significant economic, social & environmental benefits.  However, before investing in micro CHP, you may want to undertake a simple economic payback calculation.  Just download the excel spreadsheet and insert the relevant data for your home.

A number of the papers on this site have been published as parts of books on the subject of micro CHP.

The books included on this page include papers by other authors and may be ordered from the publishers.

An archive of papers relating to micro CHP.  Although papers will be added on an ongoing basis, please note that individual papers will not be changed, so check the publication date to see how relevant they are...and to see how wrong my predictions were!

You may also be interested in other types of microgeneration.  This links to a partner site containing basic information on other microgeneration technologies as well as links to additional information sources.
