Optimization Methodology of Low Carbon Mixed Energy Systems Using the Bees Algorithm

摘要

This paper proposes to decide the optimal capacity of the mixed system for thermal and electric power to minimize total capital cost and total CO_2emission while they are satisfying with total thermal demand and total load demand. The Bees Algorithm is used as a multi-objective solver for this work. Optimal Pareto solutions obtained from approximate 0% to 90% CO_2 reduction rates are compared with traditional systems like boiler and grid power and those solutions also suggest optimal capacities of the mixed system in each CO_2 reduction rate.
