Abstract

The present study proposes a new optimal configuration of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system for annual dynamic simulation. To provide higher efficiency from the CCHP system, a new enhanced bio-inspired algorithm, namely Amended Coyote Optimizer is designed and utilized. The proposed optimal technique is then carried out to a commercial building in Tongchuan, China. The simulations of the suggested method are finally confirmed by the data achieved by the case study which is done to show the method efficacy. Simulation achievements showed that the suggested technique has better effectiveness to provide similar data with the real value.
