Parametric study of the operational and economic feasibility of Stirling micro-cogeneration devices in Spain

This paper analyses the operational and economic viability of Stirling engine-run micro-cogeneration units in single-family houses in Spain. Thermal demands for the reference dwelling, sited in three different and representative climatic zones, are obtained based on heating and domestic hot water re...
