| 摘要 |
The invention relates to the combination of micro combined heat and power engine in operation with thermal storage apparatus whereby the operation of the mCHP can be selective, depending on the condition of a body of water within the thermal storage apparatus and, furthermore, the particular mode of operation can be selected with reference to the condition of the body of water. If required, an auxiliary heater can be provided in the thermal storage apparatus which can be selectively operated if the demand for heated water is not being met by operation of the mCHP. Furthermore, other operating parameters can be referred to such as, for example, the particular time of operation of the mCHP with respect to electricity demand and the possibility of obtaining revenue from electricity generated by use of mCHP at particular times. |
