The article presents an operation planning optimisation approach using a genetic algorithm for CHPPs in an urban heat supply zone. Changes in market environment will result in a significant change in energy system planning and operation. For efficient production planning in the liberalized power markets, it is paramount to determine the optimal strategies over a time horizon. Solution of an optimization task of such complexity requires a well-crafted set of tailored modelling, simulation, optimization, and forecasting tools. A well-designed solution is unthinkable without a great number of production units, such as gas turbines, steam turbines, heat-only boilers, and thermal storages, reflected by the optimization model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
