<p>Laura,</p>
<p> It is a bit hard to answer your question because "CHP" covers a
very great number of possible technology combinations. One
possibility is that you are producing electricity with a fuel cell
and recuperating heat from the fuel cell for some other purpose.
The PEM fuel cell model gives you an estimate of various heat
flows (heat flow into the cooling water, heat loss to ambient,
required aux heat, etc.) Those heat flows can be the inputs to
other parts of the CHP system by imposing them on liquid flows
either using an equation or using components from the TESS Loads
and Structures library (have a look at Type682). Can you be more
specific about the shortcomings that you see? It would help a lot
in giving a more direct answer.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to simulate in TRNSYS a fuel
cell cogeneration (CHP) system for a residential building.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not find a type in the Cogeneration
TESS library that simulate this kind of equipment. And I am
not sure that the Fuel cell types in the Hydrogen systems
library can be used for a cogeneration system.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have already used type 907 (IC engine

to use data from the fuel cell CHP in the type 907 (external
