TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for the calculation of the profitability of micro combined heat and power systems for residential building applications, taking into account hourly demands calculated by means of monthly and daily load profiles for heat and electricity.

TL;DR: In this article, nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) models of a heavy-duty single-shaft gas turbine (GT) are developed and validated using three time series data sets of two different maneuvers taken experimentally during the start-up procedure.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the simulation of the biomass thermochemical gasification process is presented based on a chemical equilibrium hypothesis, i.e. it is assumed that the chemical transformations inside the gasifier can be described by a series of equilibrium reactions independent of each other and, therefore, a precise relationship between products and reactants can be determined.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel Mixed Integer Linear Program clustering model, named k-MILP, devised to find at the same time the most representative days of the year and the extreme days, which leads to a better representation of both typical and extreme operating conditions guiding towards more efficient and reliable designs.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-stoichiometric equilibrium model for the simulation of the biomass gasification process in downdraft gasifiers is presented, which can be used within simulation models of complex energy systems.
