OPTIMAL DESIGN OF COGENERATION SYSTEMS BY USING HAMILTONIAN ALGORITHM

The optimization of the cogeneration systems (CGS) with the gas engine generator is studied by using the Hamiltonian algorithm (HA). The HA, invented from the study on dynamical systems, is efficient to optimize design and control of complex systems. The results show that the HA enables us to design the optimal CGS under the objective function about the investment of the plants and the equipment. The HA is also found to be effective to control the optimal CGS operations.
