CCHP Decision-Making

Abstract

In this chapter two methods are presented for decision-making about CCHP system components such as the prime mover and cooling or heating systems. Decisions are made based on the fuzzy logic and grey incidence approaches. These methods are called multicriteria decision-making methods. In this chapter, as an example, the prime mover of a CCHP system is chosen among several options for various climates.
