Abstract:A thermoeconomic optimization analysis for the micro?-gas turbine cogeneration system is presented.The optimization problem can be expressed as the minimization of the objective function based on the total cost rate of operation of the system,subjected to the constraints imposed by the thermodynamic and economic cost models of the installation.The optimal set of design parameters can be applied to determine the optimal design and operation of the micro?-gas turbine cogeneration heat and power system.
