Novel performance curves to determine optimal operation of CCHP systems
Abstract
Economic and environmental impact of a combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system depends not only on its structure but also on the way it is operated. In this paper, a novel methodology which utilizes overall optimal partial loads of power generation unit (PGU) and novel performance curves (NPC) is proposed to optimize CCHP operation. The PGU overall optimum partial loads for demands below and above the CCHP operating curve are …
