Optimal design of distributed CCHP system

In recent years, people are highly concerned about the energy problem for the energy shortage of our country, Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) system with its highly efficient and environmentally friendly advantage has become the solution. According to the performance characteristics of CCHP system, the paper aims at optimal design of the capacities of the equipments. After determining the structure of the system, the method of Mechanism Analysis is used to analyze and establish the general model, then taking the capital cost as the optimizing function, after that the method of branch and bound based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is used as the solution of the optimal problem. At last, an example is shown as the application for the optimal design of distributed CCHP system.
