Important results from the project
The aim of the project was to get a clear picture of which system for small-scale cogeneration based on stirling engine technology and combustion that would be prioritized for development based on time for commercialization, environmental benefit and potential. The project has identified, quantified and anchored different BCs through dialogue with potential customers and technology suppliers. The project has identified the need for development for different solutions. The project has developed a development strategy with the development of prototype and construction of demo.
Expected long term effects
The project has resulted in the plan for development and commercialization. The project is expected to lead to the development of prototype and demo installation in 2020 and the development of commercializable product with first deliveries by 2021.
Approach and implementation
The project´s plan was to start from the needs that exist and are expected to arise from different customers in different market segments. The various technical solutions that were identified were then evaluated and ranked according to technological maturity, time for commercialization, environmental benefit and potential. Partnerships and development strategies were then developed. This arrangement has been successful in being able to focus on the solutions closest to commercialization, has great environmental benefits and economic potential.
