Abstract
The Energy Efficiency Office, under the United Kingdom Department of Energy`s Energy Efficiency Demonstration Scheme has part-funded a series of nine projects aimed at demonstrating the benefits of small scale Combined Heat and Power (CHP) in various building types. Monitoring was carried out over a two-year period at each site to establish independently the energy savings and cost effectiveness of the investment in the CHP systems. This report presents an overview of the results to establish the operating requirements and strategy for future users of CHP. Payback periods of under five years were achieved at three sites but, because these projects represent some of the earliest uses of CHP in the UK outside the leisure market, the average payback period was over seven years. Two major factors equally affected the economic viability of these early CHP systems. First, the CHP suppliers and installers were required to rectify equipment failures. Second, the CHP system required integration into the site heating and control system, which involved both the system designer and CHP user. Problems encountered in this project have provided valuable lessons for the development of small scale packaged CHP units. From the lessons learned, general guidelines have been developed to assist
