“…This work was then extended by incorporating a sensitivity analysis on electricity prices toward the optimal configuration (Carvalho et al 2013). Similarly, Buoro et al (2013) developed a MOO approach to obtain the optimal structure, capacity and operational strategy of an industrial co-generation system. The MOO approach considers a weighted combination of annual costs (e.g.…”

An energy system is a crucial component in fulfilling the energy requirements of a given industrial process. If not designed appropriately, energy systems may not be able to perform designated operations in an optimised manner. Mathematical optimisation approaches have had a long history in addressing the synthesis of energy systems. Mathematical optimisation approaches are part of a larger domain known as process systems engineering (PSE). The main objective of this review is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the mathematical optimisation approaches developed, particularly those developed for synthesis of energy systems, including the handling of uncertainty and the optimisation of multiple objectives. Subsequently, the synthesis of energy systems is further discussed on specific areas such as reliability, operability, flexibility and retrofit and eco-industrial parks. Following this, an overall analysis of the contributions in these areas is provided. Finally, future research directions are identified at the end of this review.

The present work presents an investigation regarding the feasibility analysis of a cogeneration plant for a food processing facility with the aim to decrease the cost of energy supply. The monthly electricity and heat consumption profiles are analysed, in order to understand the consumption profiles, as well as the costs of the current furniture of electricity and gas. Then, a detailed thermodynamic model of the cogeneration cycle is implemented and the investment costs are linked to the thermodynamic variables by means of cost functions. The optimal electricity power of the cogenerator is determined with reference to various investment indexes. The analysis highlights that the optimal dimension varies according to the chosen indicator, therefore it is not possible to establish it univocally, but it depends on the financial/economic strategy of the company through the considered investment index.

“…The authors have evaluated the benefits of the flexibility of power to heat unit to gain the economic incentives during low electricity price hours. Buoro et al in [23] have evaluated a distributed energy supply system consisting of a CHP plant with PV and thermal storage by using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Pareto fronts have been applied to the results to find the most optimized solution.…”

Multi-Objective Analysis of a CHP Plant Integrated Microgrid in Pakistan

et al. 2017

Abstract:In developing countries like Pakistan, the capacity shortage (CS) of electricity is a critical problem. The frequent natural gas (NG) outages compel consumers to use electricity to fulfill the thermal loads, which ends up as an increase in electrical load. In this scenario, the authors have proposed the concept of a combined heat & power (CHP) plant to be a better option for supplying both electrical and thermal loads simultaneously. A CHP plant-based microgrid comprising a PV array, diesel generators and batteries (operating in grid-connected as well as islanded modes) has been simulated using the HOMER Pro software. Different configurations of distributed generators (DGs) with/without batteries have been evaluated considering multiple objectives. The multiple objectives include the minimization of the total net present cost (TNPC), cost of generated energy (COE) and the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as the maximization of annual waste heat recovery (WHR) of thermal units and annual grid sales (GS). These objectives are subject to the constraints of power balance, battery operation within state of charge (SOC) limits, generator operation within capacity limits and zero capacity shortage. The simulations have been performed on six cities including Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and Gilgit. The simulation results have been analyzed to find the most optimal city for the CHP plant integrated microgrid.
