Abstract
The objective of this paper is to assess the optimum heat load capacity of a real CHP plant and provide recommendations to improve heat utilization and reduce costs using a computerized system. A simulation model based on component actual behaviour has been developed. The simulation model is capable of plant optimization that could lead to significant economic and energy consumption improvements. The general modular structural of the plant component is described together with a discussion of the results and cost analysis. In the second part, feasibility of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is evaluated.
