Switchable internal combustion engine for thermal and electric power generation

A method for operating an internal combustion engine (102) is disclosed. The internal combustion engine (102) is configured to be coupled to both an electric generator (104) for generating electric power and a heat recovery system (106) for generating thermal power. The internal combustion engine (1...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for operating an internal combustion engine (102) is disclosed. The internal combustion engine (102) is configured to be coupled to both an electric generator (104) for generating electric power and a heat recovery system (106) for generating thermal power. The internal combustion engine (102) is operable in an electric power generation mode and a thermal power generation mode. The method comprises providing a first set of characteristic engine maps dedicated for operating the internal combustion engine (102) in the thermal power generation mode, providing a second set of characteristic engine maps dedicated for operating said internal combustion engine (102) in the electric power generation mode. The method further comprises switching between the first and second sets of characteristic engine maps upon an input.
