bioCHP_plant is a c++ module with functionality to model mass and energy flows, investment cost and operational cost of a combined heat and power production plant using biomass as feedstock. The documentation can be found at Detailed Model Documentation.

Model test

The bioCHP plant model can be tested separately using the c++ files bioCHP_function_test_[number].cpp in the main directory:

bioCHP_function_test_1.cpp: single biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and no heat demand
bioCHP_function_test_2.cpp: multiple biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and no heat demands
bioCHP_function_test_3.cpp: multiple biomass feedstock with specified electric power production and several heat demand

Project Funding

The development of bioCHP_plant was funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme in the project iDesignRES under grant agreement 101095849.
