Utility systems operational planning optimization based on pipeline network simulation

摘要

In this paper, an analysis on the negative impact of steam parameters change on utility system and process operations is conducted, which is not reported previously. In order to avoid the impact, a method that integrates utility system operational planning optimization with pipeline network simulation has been developed. A multiperiod mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model is developed and a decomposed iteration algorithm is applied to solve this model, which is demonstrated in an industrial case study.
