In this article the place and capacity of combined heat and power [CHP] prediction unit wasdetermined dynamically with use of modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO). It was done inoptimization palace and with a capacity of CHP as a production resource with the aim to increasethe reliability capacity. Decrease the loss and provide the electrical and thermal energies ofindustrial city. The f...

Heat pumps (HP) and electric immersion boilers (EB) have great potential to increase flexibility in energy systems. In parallel, decreasing taxes on electricity-based heat production are creating a more favorable economic environment for the deployment of these units in Denmark. In this paper, the economic value of heat pumps and electric boilers is assessed by simulating their day-to-day marke...

The fossil fuels consumption is rapidly growing due to increased water and electricity demands. An interconnected water-energy nexus is generally composed of thermal power plants, combined potable water and power (CWP) generation units, and desalination only processes. Hence, participation of hydro power plants in electricity generation facilities not only reduces the total fuel consumption of ...

Fuel cell-based hybrid cycles that include conventional power generators have been created to modify energy performance and output power. In the present paper, integrated biomass gasification (IBG)-molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC)-gas turbine (GT) and steam turbine (ST) combined power cycle is introduced as an innovative technique in terms of sustainable energy. In addition, biomass gasificati...

Currently, most district heating networks are running in a heat-setting mode, limiting the adjustment of the electrical power of combined heat and power (CHP) units. By considering the electrical power system (EPS) and district heating system (DHS) together, the peak regulatory capability of CHP units can be improved and renewable energy accommodation can be promoted. In this paper, a tractable...

Fuel flexibility is a significant advantage of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and can be attributed to their high operating temperature. The eligibility of a combined heat and power (CHP) system has been investigated as a new power generation methode, in this study. Natural gas fueled SOFC power systems via methane steam reforming (MSR) yield electrical conversion efficiencies exceeding 50% and...

Making potable water through desalination plants is a very important process in Iran where clean water is highly required. On the other hand, large amount of fossil fuel sources leads to the development of gas turbine power plants all over the country. Furthermore, Persian Gulf in the south and Caspian Sea in the north could be the main sources for supplying potable water in water scarcity area...
