A comprehensive review of state-of-the-art CCHP modeling,
optimization, and operation theory and practice
This book was written by an international author team at the forefront
of combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems R&D. It offers
systematic coverage of state-of-the-art mathematical modeling, structure
optimization, and CCHP system operation, supplemented with numerous
illustrative case studies and examples.
CCHP systems are an exciting emerging energy technology offering
significant economic and environmental benefits. Combined Cooling,
Heating, and Power Systems: Modelling, Optimization, and Operation is a
timely response to ongoing efforts to maximize the efficiency of that
technology. It begins with a survey of CCHP systems from the
technological and societal perspectives, offering readers a broad and
stimulating overview of the field. It then digs down into topics crucial
for optimal CCHP operation. Discussions of each topic are carefully
structured, walking readers from introduction and background to
technical details. A set of new methodologies for the modeling,
optimization and control of CCHP systems are presented within a unified
framework. And the authors demonstrate innovative solutions to a variety
of CCHP systems problems using new approaches to optimal power flow,
load forecasting, and system operation design.
