Abstract :
Cogeneration systems have become an important source of energy due to their efficiency and their ability to reduce pollutant emissions. These systems could be integrated into the Lebanese electric grid. This work presents a study concerning the optimized cogeneration capacity to be installed in Lebanon by the private sector. Genetic algorithm (GA) optimization method is then used. The optimization technique takes into account the economic issue, and then the economic- environmental one. Many solutions are suggested according to environmental criteria.
