Powering homes with PVT energy, Stirling engines, battery storage

UK scientists have proposed a way to combine photovoltaic-thermal energy with Stirling engines and battery storage in residential buildings. Despite the high upfront costs, they said the cost-effective hybrid co-generation system could significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Researchers from Durham University in the United Kingdom have developed a hybrid cogeneration system that combines photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors with a Stirling engine (SE) and battery storage. The system is designed to meet the demand for electricity and domestic hot water (DHW). "The advantages of such a hybrid system ...
