Combined Heat and Power (Chp) Allocation and Capacity Determination According To Fuzzy Bus Thermal Coefficient and Nodal Pricing Method Using Cooperative Game Theory

In this paper a hybrid and practical method is presented to allocate and determine combined heat and power capacity(chp) generator at a bus. this method consists of two stages. first, the suitable buses for chp installation will befound by the bus thermal coefficient . this coefficient indicates the possibility of the heat selling around each bus andwill be calculated by using the fuzzy method. next, for each of the appropriate buses, considering the obtained heatcapacity and electrical power ratio to the heat of the chps in the market, several chps are recommended. second, onthe one hand, the improvement of the technical criteria after the chps installation is derived by using the nodal pricingmethods as the financial benefits of the distribution companies and on the other hand, the investors’ financial benefitsfrom the sold heat output of the chps is determined. finally, using the game theory and considering the distributioncompanies and investors as the players, the suitable location and capacity for chp installation based on the set gamestrategy is obtained. the proposed method is implemented to a sample distribution feeder in the hamadan city and theresults are shown.
