Abstract
The model is first validated through 11 test-cases specifically designed to stress the possible weaknesses of the heuristic procedure. The validation evidences that the proposed procedure does not introduce further approximations to the mathematical model. The global optimum is retrieved for all the considered cases. Afterwards, we apply the proposed methodology to a realistic energy management scenario: the assessment of a fuel cell based trigeneration plant for a civil building for a whole year. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of the proposed method for different applications including the optimization of the control strategy for existing plants, the design of new distributed generation systems, the assessment of innovative energy conversion technologies, and the evaluation of national energy policies.
