A systematic framework for energetic, environmental and economic (3E) assessment and design of polygeneration systems

- Systematic process design and decision-making framework for polygeneration system.
- 3E assessment consisting of energy, environmental and economic criteria.
- Defined multi-dimensional metric for performance evaluation.
- Polygeneration of methanol and electricity are used as illustrative case studies.
- Studied once-through, recycle, parallel, series and parallel-series configurations.
