Discussion on “Enhancement of combined heat and power economic dispatch using self adaptive real-coded genetic algorithm, by P. Subbaraj et al., Applied Energy 86 (2009) 915–921.”

The paper studied by Subbaraj et al. (2009) considers the feasibility of using self adaptive real-coded genetic algorithm for enhancement of combined heat and power economic dispatch. The paper includes some problems about the considered feasible operating region. In this discussion, the controversial point of the paper are given.
