Recently, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems have been utilized increasingly in power systems. With the addition penetration of CHP-based co-generation of electricity and heat, the determination of economic dispatch of power and heat becomes a more complex and challenging issue. The optimal operation of CHP-based systems is inherently a nonlinear and non-convex optimization problem with a lo...

Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...

Gas-based combined heat and power (CHP) has matured enough to be regarded as the next evolutionary step in promoting energy efficiency use in the urban environment. Although its potential market is increasing, little research has been conducted into the combined technical effects that a high penetration of these units may have on both natural gas and electric (G&E) distribution networks. This p...

Congestion caused in the electrical network due to renewable generation can be effectively managed by integrating electric and thermal infrastructures, latter being represented large scale District Heating (DH) networks, often fed combined heat power (CHP) plants. The CHP plants could further improve profit margin of district heating multi-utilities selling electricity market adjusting ratio be...
