dc.description.abstractOptimization and supervisory control of cogeneration systems is studied in this thesis. Optimizing a cogeneration system is not only an optimization problem, but also a control one. The optimization addresses the problem of both equipment selection and equipment operation by handling it as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem. The MINLP problem is then solved using a novel three stage linear programming algorithm. The results show significant cost benefits across wide operation scenarios in the model cogeneration systems. The supervisory control addresses the problem of taking the plant to its optimal operating point while maintaining the critical plant parameters. A fuzzy supervisory control is developed and tested on a virtual cogeneration plant developed in SIMULINK. The results show that the fuzzy controller performs to expectation and tracks the optimal setpoints while maintaining critical plant parameters within limitsen_US

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
