Abstract
The invention concerns a cogeneration plant preferably using a compressor-alternator unit equipped with a thermal heater operating independently, by drawing compressed air supplied by one or several compression stages, which is then heated to increase its temperature and/or its pressure, then re-injected into the expansion chambers of the engine to produce the power stroke, wherein the home heating is used as device for heating the compressed air and usable in a local network where each house of a housing group (40, 40A,) is equipped with such units, interconnected (41) and controlled by a power management station (42) for the supply of electric power to each of the houses from one or more units capable of being activated successively and/or alternately depending on the overall requirements of the houses of the network.
