Abstract
In a multiturbogenerator cogeneration system mass flow balancing is used to optimize the distribution of steam between the machine while meeting the demand in steam and electrical power of the industrial plant in order to choose the less costly between cogenerated power and power purchased from the tie-line. The EVOP method of optimization is used off-line with the assist of a microcomputer to determine the optimal distribution of steam.
