The Quality of Electric Power Supplied into the Grid by Co-Generation Units
Published by Jiri JANSA, Petr MOLDRIK, Daniel MINARIK, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava Abstract. This paper deals with the utilisation of firedamp for combined heat and electric power generation. The firedamp is gained from hard-coal mines and can be combusted in a co-generation units with gas-engine. This process involves more efficient utilisation of firedamp.Continue reading “The Quality of Electric Power Supplied into the Grid by Co-Generation Units”
