Demand response (DR) is a critical and effective measure to stimulate the demand side
resources to interact with renewable generation in the power system. However, the …

A sustainable energy system can be treated as a development of the distributed generation
concept. It meets energy demands locally from renewable energy or/and high-efficiency …

Renewable energy source (RES) is playing an increasingly important role to reduce fossil
fuels in district heating (DH) and to alleviate the accompanying environmental impact. In this …

The technical, economical and environmental performances of combined cooling, heating
and power (CCHP) system are closely dependent on its design and operation strategy. This …

Emission reduction from the coal power sector is vital for achieving carbon mitigation targets
in China. In this study, we explore feasible pathways and economic cost of power system …

An operational cost minimisation model is established for a smart energy hub (SE Hub)
consisting of a combined heat and power (CHP) unit, a heating, ventilation and air …

Due to the coupling of its heat and power output, combined heat and power (CHP) has
limited flexibility, which is one of the main reasons for variable renewable energy source …

Trigeneration is a booming technology for efficient and clean provision of energy. It has
potential for reducing pollution emissions dramatically. Similar to combined heat and power …

This paper presents a survey of the developed researches from 1983 up to 2006 related to
the cogeneration systems. The survey is focused on short-term operation planning and …

The treatment of undesirable (bad) outputs in models of efficiency and productivity analysis
often requires replacing the assumption of free disposability of outputs by their weak …
