The membraneless microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) is a promising micro-scale power source with potentially wide applications.
It is current opinion [2, 3] that governments' policies should promote the adoption of widespread micro-scale power generation in the urban environments.
A micro-scale power supply is being developed to provide an alternative to current secondary batteries for use in microelectronics devices, such as microsensors.
The results show that in micro-scale power generation, fuel saving of about 45% is achievable and the overall efficiency can reach more than 65%.
The work provides a first step for assessing the feasibility of building integrated wind turbines, encouraging the incorporation of renewable energy sources in new and refurbished buildings, and promoting the adoption of micro-scale power generation in urban environments.
Micro-grids (smaller scale power generation) and provincially installed generation systems such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and so forth can be more reasonable.
In this contribution we report on the development of an innovative micro scale tri-generation system (power + heating + cooling), equipped with a rotor based desiccant system adapted to the Mediterranean conditions which receives heat for the desiccant regeneration from a combined heat and power (CHP) cycle.
The engine is used for combined production of cooling, heating and power in micro scale (micro-CCHP).
In the present paper a novel cycle is proposed for combined production of cooling heating and power in micro scale.
This study presents the energetic performance of the biomass to produce power for micro scale domestic usage.
In the present paper, a novel cycle combining three technologies of solid oxide fuel cell, micro gas turbine, and organic Rankine cycle is proposed to produce power in micro scale.
