Optimal Unit Sizing of Biogas-Fuelled Micro Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems in a Sewage Treatment Plant

This paper investigates the optimum size of Micro Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems (MGT-CGSs) in a sewage treatment plant in relation to its economic performance. A sewage treatment plant in a cold region was adopted as a model, and three units of MGT-CGS with power output capacity of 30, 65 and 200...
