The KROPAT project is the development of small power stations being capable to run on any combustible fuel, including solid bio-fuels such as pellets, firewood, agricultural and wood-processing wastes, etc.

​

Within the framework of the KROPAT project, the prototype of the first model VTES-1 has been developed and built. It is a compact home-class power station intended for individual users living in private houses. VTES-1 is a "household" micro-CHP, so it works as a cogeneration unit, or CHP - Combined Heat and Power. That means generating electricity and heat in parallel. The heat is using for heating house and hot water supply.

​

​The VTES-1 prototype has been already tested wihle operating on two types of fuel: natural gas and on wood pellets. VTES-1 is a small powerblock fitted into compact steel case. The dimensions of that case are comparable to a household refrigerator. VTES-1 is intended to be installed in boiling room of private house instead of conventional heating boiler.

​

According to the plans for future, the KROPAT project will be expanded for designing of more powerful models of VTES for enterprises and other power-intensive consumers, as well as for development of any-fuel engines for various types of transport.
