N2 - This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a 48-h independent system and evaluate its indoor thermal environment under power outage conditions. A power outage experiment was conducted in a collective residence with a 48-h independent system. The available power for each dwelling unit was limited to 700 or 1200 W, which was provided by a cogeneration or a combined cogeneration and solid oxide fuel cell type of heat source, respectively. The results showed that home appliances could be used by all dwelling units, regardless of being supplied with 700 or 1200 W of power. Additionally, because the gas supply was sufficient, a high room temperature could be maintained using a gas heating device. The effectiveness of the heating equipment in the restricted living space was confirmed. Therefore, the experiment demonstrated that a comfortable evacuation living condition can be realized using combinedly cogeneration and gas during a power outage in winter.
