摘要：
An energy plant includes a plurality of subplants, a high level optimizer, a low level optimizer, and a controller. The plurality of subplants include a cogeneration subplant configured to generate steam and electricity and a chiller subplant electrically coupled to the cogeneration subplant and configured to consume the electricity generated by the cogeneration subplant. The high level optimizer is configured to determine recommended subplant loads for each of the plurality of subplants. The recommended subplant loads include a rate of steam production and a rate of electricity production of the cogeneration subplant and a rate of electricity consumption of the chiller subplant. The low level optimizer is configured to determine recommended equipment setpoints for equipment of the plurality of subplants based on the recommended subplant loads. The controller is configured to operate the equipment of the plurality of subplants based on the recommended equipment setpoints.
