Evolutionary Algorithm for Scheduling of CHP Plant with Urban Heat Distribution Network

摘要

The article discusses a problem of time scheduling by evolutionary algorithm of combined heat and electric power production (CHP - Combined Heat and Power) in urban heat distribution network, aimed at securing maximum profit during a given time period. The developed time schedule takes into account the dynamics of the power station. The formulated model allows simulations of power plant's co-operation with the heat distribution network and the heat collection tank.
