Systems and methods are disclosed for a cogeneration system (15) for providing heating and electricity to an enclosure (500). The system (15) includes: a heat engine (105) configured to produce electricity for the enclosure (500) and heating for the enclosure (500) via a first heat transfer fluid; a heat pump (405) configured to produce heating for the enclosure (500) via only the first heat transfer fluid; a heat reservoir (460) constructed and arranged to transfer thermal energy from an area outside of the enclosure (500) to the heat pump (405); a thermal storage system (530) associated with the enclosure (500) and including a thermal storage system heat exchanger; a first conduit (200A) coupled to the heat engine (105), wherein the first conduit (200A) is filled with the first heat transfer fluid, and the first conduit (200A) is constructed and arranged to transfer the first heat transfer fluid from the heat engine (105) to the thermal storage system heat exchanger such that thermal energy is transferred from the first heat transfer fluid to the thermal storage system (530); and a second conduit (200E) coupled to the heat pump (405), wherein the second conduit (200E) is filled with the first heat transfer fluid, and the second conduit (200E) is constructed and arranged to transfer the first heat transfer fluid from the heat pump (405) to the thermal storage system heat exchanger such that thermal energy is transferred from the first heat transfer fluid to the thermal storage system (530). The first conduit (200A) and the second conduit (200E) are fluidly coupled to the thermal storage system heat exchanger such that the first heat transfer fluid from the first conduit (200A) and the second conduit (200E) is transferred to the thermal storage system heat exchanger to store thermal energy within the thermal storage system (530).
