Optimal allocation of thermal, electric and cooling loads among generation technologies in household applications

The legislation of various European countries imposes limits on the demand for building heating and cooling in order to reduce the primary energy consumptions. Moreover, the legislation prescribes that a fraction of the demand for building cooling, heating and power must be met through renewable energy sources. Among renewable energy systems, wind power, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, solar cooling and heat pumps (though only “partially” renewable) have to be mentioned. In this framework combined heat and power (CHP) systems can provide a further solution to reduce the primary energy consumption.
