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 exactly does the gas meter in the CHP measure?
The gas meter records the volume of gas used in m³/h, which serves as the basis for all energy indicators.
How is efficiency calculated from the gas volume?
The volume is multiplied by the methane content and the heating value of 9.97 kWh/m³ to determine the thermal energy, which is then related to the electrical power.
Why is the Hu_CH4 value important for the calculation?
The specific heating value defines the energy content per cubic metre of gas and is required to convert volume into an energetically usable unit.
From what point does decreasing efficiency indicate problems?
A significant deviation from the Baseline target value (e.g., due to contamination or wear) requires a technical check of the installation.
How often should the gas meter be compared?
The gas meter must be monitored continuously in order to validate the daily performance of the CHP unit against the target profile.
What happens in case of inaccurate gas meter data?
Inaccurate data leads to incorrect efficiency calculations and can lead to an incorrect assessment of operating costs as well as installation performance.
