This paper presents a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model that was developed for the optimal planning of electricity generation schemes for a nation to meet a specified CO2 emission target. The model was developed and implemented in General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) for the...

This paper presents a new integrated biomass and solar town concept that can serve as a global model for smart eco-villages in tropical countries. In this research, a renewable energy (RE)-based distributed energy generation (DEG) system for an eco-village driven by the “integrated biomass and...

This paper presents two main contributions. Firstly, a new exergy graphical method is proposed for optimal design of distillation column with minimum exergy lost. The method is applicable to both grass-root and retrofit cases, respectively. The effect of design and operating parameters of a...

Carbon emission reduction targeting is an important and effective effort for industry to contribute in controlling greenhouse gases concentration in atmosphere. Graphical approach has been proposed for CO2 emissions reduction targeting via HEN retrofit and fuel switching. However, it involves...
