Trigeneration is a booming technology for efficient and clean provision of energy. It has potential for reducing pollution emissions dramatically. Similar to combined heat and power (CHP) production, cost-efficient operation of a trigeneration system can be planned using an optimization model...

Combined heat-and-power (CHP) production is an increasingly important technology for its efficient utilization of primary-energy resources and for reducing CO2 emissions. In the CHP plant, the generation of heat-and-power follows a joint characteristic, which makes the determination of both the...
