There is a growing trend towards decentralized heat and electricity generation. Micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) plants have been recognized by the European Union as having high potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The performance of CHP with the microturbine as a prime mover is studied in this thesis. Special attention is given to the operation using biofuel, as the share of renewable energy for heat and power generation is projected to grow in years ahead. Fuel properties, characteristics of the CHP with microturbine and current situation in European energy sector are studied through a comprehensive literature review.
In the work, a steady-state model is used that has been developed for the microturbine with heat balance modeling software IPSEpro. Component-specific compressor and turbine maps are applied in the model. The main objective of this thesis is to provide information about the microturbine Turbec T100 performance at varying operating conditions, such as fuel composition, rotational speed, turbine inlet temperature and ambient temperature on the basis of the IPSEpro model.
