Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system with efficient free-piston engine generator

通过使用新旧技术的新组合，该提案旨在显著提高约50 kwe至1 MWe规模范围内的发电效率。如果成功，这将减少燃料消耗，能源成本和二氧化碳排放。此外，该项目计划能够使用一系列不同的气体和液体燃料，这将进一步提高能源供应的安全性。该项目将产生的机器的另一种用途是使用任何可用的液体或气体燃料为世界上15亿“离网”的人产生清洁，低成本的电力。全世界的发达国家和发展中国家都将获得财政、社会和环境方面的惠益。

By using novel combinations of old and new technologies, this proposal aims to significantly improve the efficiency of electricity generation in the size range of about 50 kwe to 1 MWe. If successful, this will reduce fuel consumption, energy cost and CO2 emissions. Further, the project plans to be able to use a range of different gas and liquid fuels which will further improve security of energy supply. An alternative use for the machine which will result from this project will be to generate clean, lower cost electricity, using any available liquid or gas fuel, for the 1.5 Billion people in the world who are 'off grid'. The financial, social and environmental benefits will be available to developed and developing communities world-wide.
