Knowledge-based sizing of cogeneration plant in buildings.

Author(s) : WILLIAMS J. M., GRIFFITHS A. J., KNIGHT I. P.

Summary

Cogeneration is now accepted as cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of meeting some of a building's heating and power needs. Cogeneration plants have been installed in many buildings throughout the United Kingdom. Because of commercial pressures, building owners and cogeneration companies are keen to reduce the time and money involved in sizing units, and a decision support tool has been developed to aid the engineer in selecting the unit size. The paper briefly describes the proposed model and demonstrates its use through an example feasibility study.
