Abstract
The introduction of new energy sources in an energy supply and conversion system can be analyzed through optimization projects and from information on energy demands and equipments utilized in a specific consumer center. This work proposes the utilization of mathematical programming to design a polygeneration system to be installed in a hospital located in João Pessoa, Northeast Brazil. Optimization will consider total annual costs and the annual carbon footprint simultaneously. In the energy system studied herein, the following energy demands were considered: electricity, heat (hot water), steam and cooling. Synthesis includes optimal configuration (commercially available equipment) and optimal operation throughout the year. Environmental information was obtained through Life Cycle Assessment, and was incorporated into a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model. The contribution of this study is the innovative consideration of solar photovoltaic panels as a possibility to produce electricity, within the economic and legal scenarios established within the bicriteria optimization model, for the specific Brazilian scenario.
