The perspective of optimising the use of combined heat and power in distributed power industry

The article is dedicated to the production of energy from renewable energy sources. It discusses the block architecture of a power microsystem designed to work in cogeneration. In the architecture of the CHP plant, it is assumed that the basic elements needed to create an autonomous energy system are used. In the assumptions, the microsystem's operation in the mode connected to the network, so-called ON-GRID, is considered. The article also reviews selected distributed technologies. It addresses the use of modern energy microtechnologies for the needs of distributed energy. An overview of arguments on the reorganisation of the conventional energy system is also offered.
