Fast solution technique for unit commitment by particle swarm optimisation and genetic algorithm
In solving the Unit Commitment (UC) problem, two types of decision variables need to be determined: the start/shut down status and the output of power generation. Efficiently calculating the optimal commitment (on/off) and Economic Dispatch (ED) generations of the units at a sequence of times in the scheduling period is known as a challenge issue. In this paper, the proposed integrated PSO/GA ...

Understanding and improving energy conversion systems with the aid of exergy–based methods
Exergy–based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating and improving an energy conversion system. Conventional exergy–based analyses have limitations, which are significantly reduced by the so–called advanced analyses. The latter evaluate: (a) the interactions among components of the overall system, and (b) the real potential for improving a system component. The main objective of ...

Methane Number
Did you know that the methane number of a gas provides an indication of the knock tendency of a fuel? It is a product of the different constituent gases within the natural gas, particularly the proportions of methane, ethane, propane and butane. Understanding the knock resistance is important when specificing an engine for a gas-powered combined heat and power plant. Methane, which has a high ...
