CHP (Combined Heat & Power)
You can view the following examples via this token: NjQ2fDI3VVUxREl4
In Hysopt there are two CHP models:
- Combined Heat & Power
This model contains the yield curves of an combustion engine CHP, depending on the incoming return temperature, a thermal and electrical power is generated. Same as the heat flow controlled boiler, the user must apply a control loop on this model. The input on this model is a power modulation signal between 0 and 1. In token above you can find an example of using this base circuit.

- Boiler with stirling engine
Like the previous model, this model also includes yield curves but from a Stirling engine. In which depending on the incoming return temperature, a thermal and electrical power is generated. Most of the time is it used in combination with a normal boiler, an example can be found in token above.

Both models are also displayed in the Hysopt Inspiration library under the folder "Hybrid production".
