Optimization Strategies for the Synthesis / Design of Hihgly Coupled, Highly Dynamic Energy Systems
In this work several decomposition strategies for the synthesis / design optimization of highly coupled, highly dynamic energy systems are formally presented and their implementation illustrated. The methods are based on the autonomous optimization of the individual units (components, sub-systems …

Dynamic Synthesis/Design and Operation/Control Optimization Approach applied to a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell based Auxiliary Power Unit under Transient Conditions
A typical approach to the synthesis/design optimization of energy systems is to only use steady state operation and high efficiency (or low total life cycle cost) at full load as the basis for the synthesis/design. Transient operation as reflected by changes in power demand, shut-down, and start-up …

Thermoeconomic Diagnosis of anUrban District Heating System based onCogenerative Steam and Gas Turbines
… power plants, located in Moncalieri (Turin). Thermoeconomics is an engineering discipline born in sixties, consisting in the contemporary use of thermodynamic principles and economic concepts. It allows to associate a cost to all the productive processes taking place inside a system and in …

A Decomposition Strategy Based on Thermoeconomic Isolation Applied to the Optimal Synthesis/Design and Operation of an Advanced Fighter Aircraft System
A decomposition methodology based on the concept of "thermoeconomic isolation" applied to the synthesis/design and operational optimization of an advanced tactical fighter aircraft is the focus of this research. Conceptual, time, and physical decomposition were used to solve the system-level as …
