... cooling by ice storage on the unit sizing and cost of a gas turbine cogeneration plant. An optimal unit sizing method based on the mixed-integer linear programming is used to rationally determine equipment capacities and operational strategies of the plant. A numerical study is conducted, in which the gas...

... to seasonal and hourly variations in energy demands. Some optimization approaches based on the mixed-integer linear programing have been proposed to this design problem. However, equipment capacities have been treated as continuous variables, and correspondingly, performance characteristics and capital costs...
