Associated causal chains
This component is part ofInstallation causal chains— from cause to effect (gas quality → engine → exhaust gas → heat → efficiency). The AI reads the entire chain, not just the individual value.
Link with the entire installation
A CHP unit is never alone: electricity, heat and gas are linked, and with PV and battery storage, it becomes a system. The AI calculates the entire installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the basis for sizing a CHP unit?
Sizing is primarily carried out according to the continuous base thermal demand, and not according to short-term peaks.
Why should a CHP unit not be oversized?
Oversizing leads to low full-load hours and frequent starts, which increases mechanical stress and reduces profitability.
How does the purchase obligation (OA) / remuneration supplement (CR) influence sizing?
The purchase obligation (OA) / remuneration supplement (CR) imposes specific efficiency requirements, which strictly require relevant installation sizing to obtain subsidy rates.
What do full-load hours mean for the operator?
Full-load hours are a direct measure of usage and efficiency; high values are correlated with longer maintenance intervals.
From what point is a CHP installation considered oversized?
An installation is considered oversized if the thermal demand is regularly lower than the capacity and the installation falls into the partial load zone or into frequent cycles.
What is the impact of EEG degression on planning?
Degression limits the economic profitability of excess capacities, as only the power actually used efficiently is optimally remunerated.
