Design of biomass processing network for electricity generation using MINLP model : a case study on Iskandar Malaysia

This paper presents a general decentralized energy generation (DEG) optimization model for developing countries. A mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model has been formulated and implemented, representing decisions regarding (1) the optimal number, locations, and sizes of various types of...
