Can I read Multi-objective Optimization of a Trigeneration Plant on EtoBox?

Multi-objective Optimization of a Trigeneration Plant by K.C. Kavvadias; Z.B. Maroulis is a Energy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Multi-objective Optimization of a Trigeneration Plant about?

A multi-objective optimization method was developed for the design of trigeneration plants. The optimization is carried out on technical, economical, energetic and environmental performance indicators in a multi-objective optimization framework. Both construction (equipment sizes) and discrete operational (pricing tariff schemes and operational strategy) variables were optimized based on realistic conditions. The problem is solved using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. An example of a trigeneration system in a 300 bed hospital was studied in detail in order to demonstrate the design procedure, the economic and energetic performance of the plant, as well as the effectiveness of the proposed approach even under fluctuating energy prices.

Who reads Multi-objective Optimization of a Trigeneration Plant?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Energy.
