Possibilities of the power optimization in the Stirling cogeneration engine fuelled by the natural gas

As the energy efficiency is at the heart of the integrated European Union energy policy, which aims to protect the environment through various research projects, the application of the Stirling engine for diffused electricity generation is one of the possible paths for low-carbon application. That i...
