We have a Froling CHP 56kw electric, 115kw heat output. Gasification of woodchip and a MAN engine.
But without RHI and ROC not sure if it would pay.
I get on well with it, but some have a struggle with them. You need to be prepared to get your hands (very) dirty.
There maybe some 2nd hand ones that people want to sell on, because they realised they are not for them.
Still available new. But you'd want to visit a running one to see what your getting into.
Some people have 2 (or more) running together.

I suspect the only way you can make it pay on diesel or gas would be to operate at predicted Triad periods only, if your PPA separates Triad payments.
Alternatively if you are paid on the half hourly price, operate only when the price is at a viable level.
