Optimization of power and heating systems based on a new hybrid algorithm

A novel combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied on a base case cogeneration optimization problem called the modified CGAM problem with two objective functions. The first objective function, the exergetic efficiency, should be maximized and the second on...
