TLDR
In this article, a comprehensive thermo-economic analysis was accomplished on several CGSs of Iran to find the most optimal combined heat and power (CHP) system size and design for each station and define a general criterion by which one could realize that if a CGS can efficiently employ CHP technology Net present value (NPV) approach is used to analyze and compare the performance of these stations economically.About:

Effects of load-following operational methods on combined heat and power system efficiency
Amanda D. Smith,Pedro J. Mago +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two basic load-following methods following the thermal load (FTL) and following the electric load (FEL), compared with a hybrid method which either follows the thermal or the electric demand in a given time period, within a specified operating range, in order to minimize the amount of excess electrical or thermal energy produced by the combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
