This WP is focused on specific objectives SO5 and SO6 and includes two tasks.

WP Responsible: Sergio Usón (SU).

Task 4.1 Integration of power demand (biomass boiler with a Stirling engine):

  • Subtask 4.1.a. Modelling of a Stirling cycle according to the specifications of an existing 25 kWth commercial biomass boiler.

  • Subtask 4.1.b. The engine will be installed in the boiler and will use the same cooling circuit.

Task 4.2 Integration of the heating demand (Performance analysis of a Heat Pumps and biomass boilers):

  • Subtask 4.2.a. Modelling of a typical dwelling in a rural environment under different climatic typologies.

  • Subtask 4.2.b. Analysis of the performance of heat pump systems in adverse environmental conditions (e.g., high humidity) or difficulty of stable power supply (without renewable contribution).

Implementation period: T1-T8.

Milestones and deliverables:

  • M4.1: The Stirling engine is in operation (T5).

  • M4.2: Tests of biomass boiler with Stirling engine are completed (T7).

  • D4.1: Detailed report of the main experimental tests on the Stirling engine (T8).

  • D4.2: Final report with the main outcomes obtained with the integrated simulation of the HP and biomass boiler in real weather conditions (T8).

Participants: Sergio Usón (SU), Javier Uche (JU), Amaya Martínez (AM).
