An optimal structural design model of a residential cogeneration system, known as combined heat and power, considering various kinds of operating restrictions is developed from the energy-saving viewpoint. As principal operating restrictions of cogeneration units, a constant power output...

A suitable operational strategy for a power interchange operation using multiple residential solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cogeneration systems for saving energy is investigated by an optimization approach based on mixed-integer linear programming. In this power interchange operation, electricity...
