Information

1. Purpose of model

Controller for the operation of a CHP unit and a boiler. CHP is operated only if electricity prices are above a threshold value and if storage tank is not full.

The boiler will switch on additionally if the storage tank state of charge drops below threshold value. The boiler has a modulating power output so that the storage tank level stays at set point value.
