Abstract
There is disclosed a combined heat and power system for a building having a heat demand comprising a primer mover an electrical generator, adapted to provide building power, the said prime mover being drivingly connected thereto a heat recovery arrangement said heat recovery arrangement being connected to the prime mover and recovering heat therefrom, and adapted to provide building heating, and a control arrangement adapted automatically to control the prime mover in response to said heating demand.
Claims27
A combined space heat and electrical power producing system for a building and comprising in combination:
- a prime mover,
- an electrical generator connected to be driven by the prime mover and adapted to provide the electrical power to the building,
- heat recovery means in heat exchange relationship with the prime mover to recover waste heat therefrom and adapted to provide the space heat to the building,
- a control arrangement adapted automatically to control the prime mover,
- the control arrangement including an intelligent knowledge-based system scheduling maintenance operations and predicting failures of components and of the system.
A combined space heat and electrical power producing network for a building comprising in combination:
- a prime mover,
- an electrical generator connected to be driven by the prime mover and adapted to provide the electrical power to the building,
- heat recovery means in heat exchange relationship with the prime mover to recover waste heat therefrom and adapted to provide the space heat to the building,
- a remote control arrangement connected to the prime over and to the generator and to the recovery means and adapted automatically to control same,
- the remote control arrangement receiving operating information from same and effecting control over same and including a heuristic arrangement adapted to increase total efficiency of same by adapting control algorithms according to the operating information.
