The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...

This research study proposes a technique for the multi-objective optimization (MOO) of the energy, exergy, and economy (3E) factors in the context of a combined heat and power plant (CHPP) system. The rapidly increasing demand for energy necessitates improvements in plant equipment performance...
