Mixed-Integer Optimization for Polygeneration Energy Systems Design

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Energy Systems ((ENERGY))

Summary

In this chapter we introduce polygeneration energy systems in the context of future energy systems, and modeling and optimization issues involved in planning and configuration design of polygeneration processes. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is developed for the design optimization of polygeneration energy systems. A suitable superstructure is introduced, based on partitioning a general polygeneration energy system into four major blocks, for each of which alternative available technologies and types of equipment are considered. A detailed case study, involving a coal-based polygeneration plant producing electricity and methanol, is presented to demonstrate the key features and applicability of the proposed approach.
