COGENERATION OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to obtain a system structure for minimizing the total cost. SOLUTION: Assuming plural generators 1 including different kinds of equipment, refrigerating machines 2 and 3 or the like are installed, frameworks for a specified number of equipment are set on the assumption that, one of these provided equipment, equipment within the specified number are operated, a combination of kinds of equipment for applying to the frameworks are made to be generated for demands for electric powder, cooling, hot water supply and heating, and, as to the system by that combination, an operation plan including an operation, stop and a partial load operaton are obtained so that the demands are met and an operation cost becomes minimum by using data of a supply ability of various kinds of equipment and resource consumption. Moreover, a capital cost is added to the minimum operation cost and a total cost is calculated, and, by updating the above-mentioned combination so that this total cost is made to be small, a combination for minimizing the total cost is searched and kind of equipment, that is really to be installed, is decided.
