Optimal mix of renewable and CHP generations for reduced emissions

The demand for electrical energy grows exponentially over time and most of electrical power generation is produced from fossil fuel. The increase in fossil fuel utilization results in excessive greenhouse gas emission to environment which paves way for global warming and natural disasters. The Unite...
