Optimal Design and Operation of Flexible Energy Polygeneration Systems
Abstract
The optimal design and operation of flexible polygeneration systems using coal and biomass to coproduce power, liquid fuels, and chemicals is studied. In flexible systems, the various product rates change throughout the lifetime of the plant in response to market conditions in different scenarios. A two-stage programming formulation is proposed to optimize simultaneously the design decision variables and the operational decision variables in …
