bioCHP plant model

bioCHP_plant is a c++ module with functionality to model mass and energy flows, investment cost and operational cost of a combined heat and power production plant using biomass as feedstock. The documentation can be found at \ref detailed_model_documentation.

Model test

The bioCHP plant model can be tested separately using the c++ files bioCHP_function_test_[number].cpp in the main directory:

• bioCHP_function_test_1.cpp: single biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and no heat demand
• bioCHP_function_test_2.cpp: multiple biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and no heat demands
• bioCHP_function_test_3.cpp: multiple biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and several heat demand

Project Funding

The development of bioCHP_plant was funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme in the project iDesignRES under grant agreement 101095849.
