Abstract :
Optimization of cogeneration system operation is studied in this paper. The optimization addresses the problem of both equipment selection and equipment operation by handling it as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. The MINLP problem is then solved using a novel three stage linear programming algorithm. The results show significant cost benefits across wide operation scenarios in the model cogeneration systems.
