Utilization of Low-Grade Heat in the Concept of Development of Distributed Generation

Abstract

About half of the territory of Russia, where more than 10 million people live, does not have centralized power supply systems. The development of the territories of Siberia, the Far East, the Arctic regions, which are far from the centralized power grid, requires the use of autonomous power sources and distributed generation technologies. In order to increase the efficiency of using fuel and energy resources, the problems of creating distributed power supply systems are set. A system for generating electricity at a low potential heat source adapted for any production is proposed. This system uses a Tverskoy rotary engine with a built-in electric generator, which is a single turbine and generator design. The main aspects of the effectiveness of this system are considered.
