Process energy systems: Control, economic, and sustainability objectives

摘要: Abstract Economic, energy, and sustainability metrics are key performance indicators for process operations. The relative importance of these varies from plant to plant, often some in conflict with each other (sustainability vs. profitability). In this paper we discuss the current environment how various can be aligned by focusing on energy efficiency. Power-steam systems major drivers most plants, possible operational changes that might improve efficiency, as well role control. Managing interplay real-time optimization regulatory control is a challenge future, interfacing implementation smart power grids utility industry. Combined heat along storage presents interesting opportunities maximize
