Optimal Placement of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems Considering the Cost of Environmental Pollutants

Techno-economic and environmental assessments of optimal planning of waste-to-energy based CHP-DG considering load growth on a power distribution network

“…The optimal location and capacity of three CHP equipment such as fuel cells (FC), internal combustion engine (ICE), and micro-turbine (MT) were determined by Ref. [ 35 ] based on the environmental costs of pollutants. The focus of the work is profit maximisation for the CHP owners while considering the load and energy price increase over the planning horizon.…”

“…Only power loss minimisation was considered. In all the aforementioned references [ 6 , 7 , 18 , 35 , 37 , 39 , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] ], no cognisance is taken of simultaneous consideration of load growth and seasonal voltage dependent load model in their planning approaches. In Ref.…”
