Method for economically optimizing the operation of micro-cogenerator apparatuses (PCT/ES2010/070870, Spain)
The present invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of at least one micro cogeneration unit which is part of a system for producing energy, which also comprises an auxiliary heat production system and a heat storage system, said method optimizes the operation of the at least one micro cogeneration unit according to economic criteria. The method comprises optimizing a target function where a series of weights which penalize the violation of certain constraints can be included and the values obtained from the optimization are used to control the operation of the at least one micro cogeneration unit, values between 0 and 1 being those which regulate the output of the micro cogeneration unit.
