A technical and economic assessment of small Stirling engines for combined heat and power

Abstract

This report is the result of a collaborative study conducted by Energy for Sustainable Development Ltd (ESD) (an energy consultancy), and Combined Power Systems Ltd (CPS) (a manufacturer of CHP systems). Due to the national energy saving implications of small-scale CHP the study was part-funded by the Energy Efficiency Office (EEO). The aims of the study were to assess the feasibility of using a Stirling engine as a prime mover for 5-20 kWe combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and to quantify the potential market for Stirling engine CHP systems in this size range. The market potential has been estimated with costs and performance estimates for engines being developed by ESD Engines Ltd, a sister company to ESD. (Author)
