Methods for optimized design and management of CHP systems for district heating networks (DHN)

摘要

The paper analyzes some of the problems connected with the design, construction and management of cogeneration plants for district heating networks (CHP-DHN). Although the advantages of cogeneration systems compared with conventional ones for separate energy production, one of the unresolved problems is that of the variability of operating conditions, can often render the application of these solutions ineffective. In particular, the aim of this study is to propose a multi-objective optimization methodology that tries to take into account both energy and economic aspects.
