A flexible power generation through micro-CHP systems was realized in this thesis. To this end, a smart heat storage schedule including a heat demand forecast was implemented. A newly defined heat storage capacity, based on experimental and analytical results, was combined with a heat forecast and the electricity spot market (EEX) price in an optimization algorithm to maximize economic profits. Consequently, it can be guaranteed that power is generated at times of peak demand.
A micro-CHP test bed was built to test the optimization results, containing a scheduled CHP operation and the aforementioned heat-storage schedule. In order to keep the schedule, a smart CHP control was programmed. In conjunction with the flexible heat storage, the heat consumption can be met at any time, even when forecast deviations occur. At the same time, electricity is generated as needed, namely during times of high spot market prices.
