  • Patent number: 8655497
    Abstract: A method for regulating electrical and thermal power generated by an energy system in a multi-source energy plant that comprises one or more loads. The energy system comprises an electronic unit implementing a multi-objective function (Fmo) that comprises: first computation parameters (PTi, Oi) comprising values of the electrical and thermal powers exchanged within the multi-source plant between a cogeneration module, loads, auxiliary sources and an electric network; and a set of second (Ci, Ai) and third computation parameters (Ni) correlated to the costs of management and exchange of the electrical and thermal powers within the energy plant. The method comprises the step of determining optimal values (PUi) of the electrical and thermal powers that the energy system must supply to minimize the multi-objective function (Fmo), and the step of varying the electrical and thermal powers generated by the cogeneration module as a function of the optimal values calculated (PUi).

  • Publication number: 20110245986
    Abstract: A method for multi-objective management of the electrical and thermal power generated by a co/trigeneration energy system in a multi-source energy plant. The co/trigeneration energy system comprises an electronic unit implementing a multi-objective function comprising: first computation parameters containing the values of the electrical and thermal powers exchanged within the multi-source plant between a cogeneration module, loads, auxiliary sources, and an electric network; and a set of second and third computation parameters correlated to the costs of management and, respectively, of efficiency of the generation and exchange of the electrical and thermal powers within the multi-source energy plan.
