| Summary: | In this paper, a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system with thermal storage tanks is introduced. Considering the plants’ off-design performance, an efficient methodology is introduced to determine the most economical operation schedule. The complex CCHP system’s state transition equation is extracted by selecting the stored cooling and heating energy as the discretized state variables. Referring to the concept of variable cost and constant cost, repeated computations are saved in phase operating cost calculations. Therefore, the most economical operation schedule is obtained by employing a dynamic solving framework in an extremely short time. The simulation results indicated that the optimized operating cost is reduced by 40.8% compared to the traditional energy supply system.
