Abstract :The optimization of energy systems is of crucial importance for a rational use of natural and economic resources and for minimizing their adverse effects on the environment. Optimizing such systems may be considered at three levels: synthesis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(configuration);, design insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(component characteristics);, and operation. The first two of these levels are ex-amined in this article. After a discussion on the uniqueness of the solution and the pos-sibility of finding this solution, the principal approaches and methods for solving the optimization problem are described in brief.
Keywords : thermoeconomics, design optimization of energy systems, synthesis optimization of energy systems, artificial ıntelligence, genetic algorithms, mathematical programming, decomposition
