UNCONVENTIONAL COGENERATION SOURCE FOR ENERGY SUPPLY OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS BASED ON THERMOACOUSTIC HEAT ENGINE

Abstract

Currently, in the context of the economic crisis and changes in the operating conditions of power systems, the problem of supplying power to remote consumers is aggravated, the main reasons for this phenomenon are a further increase in the costs of electricity transmission and an increase in the cost of operating power supply systems for this category of consumers. In these conditions, in order to prevent further aggravation of the situation, it is necessary to take ways to find appropriate organizational measures, working conditions and develop new technical solutions. One of the promising options for the technical solution of this issue is the use of cogeneration sources based on a thermoacoustic heat engine. The positive aspect of this technical solution is not only the generation of electrical and thermal energy, but also the possibility of processing various wastes from agricultural activities.
