“…Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the environmental management tool that enables quantification of environmental burdens along the life cycle of both renewable and fossil fuel based systems [12,13], so as to assist in a rational choice of technical solutions for power generation [14,15]. Owing to the inclusion of the input and output flows associated with the process, a very attractive feature of LCA is the emphasis on environmental impact rather than emissions as a means of comparing different alternatives [16]. It represents either a decision support tool, either a basis for the communication of performance in terms of sustainability [17].…”

“…the pollutant gas emitted is very low when WT runs under the rated condition, but with the output power goes down, the quantity of pollutant gases increases rapidly, thus MT should not be running with load rate less than 0.5 [5]. Based on emission curves of CO and NO X given in references [6], Fitting functions of a 60 kW MT are as follow: MT…”

Combined heating and power (CHP) microgrid is conducive to the realization of energy cascade utilization and meeti the users' needs with divers types of energy. With remarkable economic and environmental benefits, CHP microgrid is one of the potential development directions of smart grid. In this paper, a CHP microgrid consists of wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, microturbines, gas-fired boilers, storage batteries, heat load and electric load was selected as research object. In order to evaluate the impact of CO 2 , CO, NO x emission on environment, the conception of gas emission plenty cost was quoted. In consideration of the stochastic nature of renewable energy units and the fluctuation of heat load and electric load, chance constrained programing was introduced to build the model, then Monte Carlo simulation based leapfrog firefly algorithm was proposed to solve the optimization model. The simulation results verified the reasonableness and effectiveness of the model and algorithm proposed.Index Terms--combined heating and power, microgrid, dynamic optimal dispatch, leapfrog firefly algorithm.

“…For low powers involved, cogeneration systems with internal combustion engines would be preferred. In fact, ICE performs better than the MT due to a higher electrical (and often also overall) efficiency [14]. In a CHP plant, unlike the case of transports, it would be possible to adapt the fuel feeding system and the combustion mode to the available fuel achieving an increasing in the energy output.…”

Biomass, in form of residues and waste, can be used to produce energy with low environmental impact. It is important to use the feedstock close to the places where waste are available, and with the shortest conversion pathway, to maximize the process efficiency. In particular waste vegetable oil and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste represent a good source for fuel production in urban areas. Dual fuel engines could be taken into consideration for an efficient management of these wastes. In fact, the dual fuel technology can achieve overall efficiencies typical of diesel engines with a cleaner exhaust emission. In this paper the feasibility of a cogeneration system fuelled with waste vegetable oil and biogas is discussed and the evaluation of performance and emissions is reported on the base of experimental activities on dual fuel heavy duty engine in comparison with diesel and spark ignition engines. The ratio of biogas potential from MSW and biodiesel potential from waste vegetable oil was estimated and it results suitable for dual fuel fuelling. An electric power installation of 70 kW every 10,000 people could be achieved.
