Multifuel microthermal 1–10 kW capacity power plant for remote rural localities and farm sites

Abstract

 The problem of efficient electricity supply to rural consumers has not yet been fully resolved. A way to solve this problem is to develop a micro thermal power plant that can function on virtually any fuel. Using own energy source will reduce the cost of its production for the farm, significantly increase the reliability of electricity supply, and ensure its uninterrupted supply to consumers. The suggested power plant is driven by a thermal motor with external heat supply. The results of computer simulation of an engine with external heat supply, which works based on Stirling principle, are given. The design features of the engine being developed are considered.
