Decision-making strategy for cogeneration power systems integration in the Lebanese electricity grid

摘要

Cogeneration and trigeneration systems can contribute to the reduction of primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in residential and tertiary sectors, by reducing fossii fuels demand and grid losses with respect to conventional systems. The cogeneration systems are characterized by a very high energy efficiency (80 to 90%) as well as a less polluting aspect compared to the conventional energy production. The integration of these systems into the energy network must simultaneously take into account their economic and environmental challenges. Moreover, the electricity distribution service can motivate the users of these systems by buying their residual electrical and thermal products. In this case, the "smart-grid" is the interface that manages the client-network interaction. In this paper, we will find the best cogeneration power that had to be integrated in the Lebanese electricity grid using a new decision-making technique.
