11.5 Integrating CHP-Units
If both electricity and heat is needed in a system, using a combined heat and power
unit will be advisable. The Sunny Island has special functions to support particularly
CHP units of the type „ecopower Mini-BHKW“, distributed by VALENTIN Energie-
und Umwelttechnik GmbH, Germany.
Be sure that the „ecopower Mini-BHKW“’s communication capability is en-
abled!
As CHPs will normally be thermally driven and also for some particular control pur-
poses, some dedicated dumploads have to be available in the system as outlined in
Fig. 11.5. (Please also cf. Chapters 3.4.11 and 3.4.12.)
