A novel design of an automation system for an energy-efficient polygeneration plant

Polygeneration plants are a leading means of increasing the efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of energy conversion. This study addresses the lack of studies on automation and control of systems that produce electricity, heating, cooling, and potable water. Mixed integer linear program...
