Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is widely recognised as an important dioxide removal technology. Nevertheless, BECCS has mostly failed to move beyond small-scale demonstration units. One main factor the energy penalty incurred on power plants. In previous studies, this been determined be 37.2 %–48.6 % for amine The aim of study quantify adding hot potassium carbonate (HPC) te...

This paper presents a Particle Swarm Optimization with Improved Inertia Wight (PSO-IIW) for Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problem. The proposed PSO-IIW technique, which is a population based global search and optimization technique, has been developed to solve the CHPED problem. The CHPED problem is formulated as an optimization problem which is solved by the PSO-IIW techniq...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Mr. been possible without his guidance, support and encouragement. Under his guidance I successfully overcame many difficulties and learned a lot. He used to review my dissertation progress, gave his valuable suggestions and made corrections.
