Modelling and optimization issues of the energy systems of the future Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In this work, we introduce a novel application of an energy systems engineering framework towards the optimal design of such energy systems with improved energy efficiency and environmental performance. The framework features a superstructure representation of the various energy technology alternatives, a mixed-integer optimization formulation of the energy systems design problem, and a multi-objective design optimization solution strategy, where economic and environmental criteria are simultaneously considered and properly traded off. A case study of a supermarket energy systems design is presented to illustrate the key steps and potential of the proposed energy systems engineering approach. Copyright 2010, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l.
