This paper presents a computationally efficient novel heuristic approach for solving the combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHP-ED) problem in residential buildings considering component interconnections. The proposed solution is meant as substitute cutting-edge approaches, such model predictive control, where mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP), known to be computationally-intensiv...

This paper proposes a distributed real-time state estimation (RTSE) method for the combined heat and power systems (CHPSs). First, difference-based model system is established considering dynamics of systems. further used along with steady-state holistic CHPS estimation. A cubature Kalman filter (CKF)-based RTSE developed to deal nonlinearity while integrating both historical present measuremen...

Biomass gasification is the process of converting biomass into a combustible gas suitable for use in boilers, engines, and turbines to produce combined cooling, heat, and power. This paper presents a detailed model of a biomass gasification system and designs a multigeneration energy system that uses the biomass gasification process for generating combined cooling, heat, and electricity. Energy...
