Abstract

Inside the EU countries significant investments are expected in both the electricity production and energy transfers within the next 15 years. Such investments will need the precise decision-making processes, supported with very versatile engineering tools. The major objective of this paper is to propose an application of a new methodology to design power systems in a fully automatic way. The proposed methodology utilizes such artificial intelligence tools like genetic algorithms and expert systems.

Keywords:

genetic algorithms, expert systems, combined heat and power (CHP), power plant
