考虑热集成的用水网络优化

提出了新的同时考虑间接传热和混合传热的热集成转运模型,并与用水网络超结构NLP模型结合以求取ΔTmin＝0℃时用水网络的公用工程目标。新转运模型与以往的模型相比变量数和约束方程数都大大减少。进一步,针对现有综合方法ΔTmin不可调的局限性,采用改进的换热网络转运模型,提出了区分处理混合传热和间接传热的综合方法。该方法不仅可以得到优化的公用工程费用和换热匹配数,而且与传统的方法相比可以调整ΔTmin,得到更合理的换热网络结构。算例表明,结合新转运模型的NLP模型与结合改进转运模型的综合方法都要优于以往的模型和方法。     

考虑非等温混合的能量集成水网络设计方法

讨论了能量集成水网络中非等温混合对系统能量目标的影响,提出了分割温度的概念。对于同性混合,系统的公用工程需求量不会减少。对于异性混合,通过确定分割温度并比较分割温度以上区间混合流股的热量之和与低温区间所需的热量,可以准确确定系统公用工程会增加、减少或者保持不变。基于以上思想,得到了非等温混合规则。它能判断是否存在能量惩罚,以及如何通过设计混合温度来避免能量惩罚。结合改进的"分离系统"法,提出了一种系统化的能量集成水网络设计方法。

Novel graphical tool for the design of the heat integrated water allocation networks

A new graphical tool has been developed for the HEN design of WAHEN. An ΔH‐F diagram is proposed to deal with the heat exchange matches. Nonisothermal stream mixing and splitting can be achieved by the transformation of stream composite curve in the ΔH‐F diagram. A matching composite curve is proposed for the design of HEN with parallel structure. The structure of HEN can be simplified by adjusting the shape of the matching composite curve. Both small scale and large scale examples are illustrated. Results show that the proposed method is as good as the previous methods for small scale problem, while it gets a better result for large scale problem. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 670–686, 2016     

Simultaneous integration of water and energy in heat‐integrated water allocation networks

This article proposes a new methodology for simultaneous integration of water and energy in heat‐integrated water allocation networks (WAHEN). A novel disjunctive model is first developed to determine an optimal water allocation network (WAN) where water and energy are integrated in one step. Based on the optimal WAN, a detailed heat exchanger network (HEN) to satisfy the utility target is then synthesized. Although the final network structure is obtained through two steps, the targets of freshwater and utility are optimized simultaneously. The proposed method has specific advantages. First of all, it can capture a tradeoff among freshwater usage, utility consumption, and direct heat transfer by nonisothermal mixing. Second, it can greatly reduce the complexity of subsequent HEN design. Finally, it is effective for simultaneous water and energy integration in large‐scale WAHEN systems. The advantages and applicability of this new method are illustrated by three examples from literature. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 2202–2214, 2015     

Optimum heat storage design for solar‐driven absorption refrigerators integrated with heat exchanger networks

A methodology is presented for optimizing hybrid renewable energy‐fossil fuel systems with short‐term heat storage. The considered system is an absorption‐refrigeration (AR) cycle integrated with a heat exchanger network (HEN) requiring cooling below ambient temperature. The AR cycle can be driven by multiple energy sources including excess energy from hot process streams, renewable energy sources (solar and biofuels), and fossil fuels. A two‐step approach based on mixed integer nonlinear programming methods is used for the optimization. First, the problem of optimal energy integration in the hybrid energy system without heat storage is solved on a monthly basis by minimizing simultaneously the total annual cost and the overall greenhouse gas emissions. In the second step, the multi‐tank thermal energy storage (TES) design problem is solved. The design involves the identification of the optimal number of storage tanks, their sizes, configuration and operation policies. The TES optimization is carried out on an hourly basis while incorporating the design targets determined by the first step. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 909–930, 2014

Simultaneous synthesis of heat exchanger networks with pressure recovery: Optimal integration between heat and work

The optimal integration between heat and work may significantly reduce the energy demand and consequently the process cost. This article introduces a new mathematical model for the simultaneous synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs), in which the pressure levels of the process streams can be adjusted to enhance the heat integration. A superstructure is proposed for the HEN design with pressure recovery, developed via generalized disjunctive programming, and mixed‐integer nonlinear programming formulation. The process conditions (stream temperature and pressure) must be optimized. Furthermore, the approach allows for coupling of the turbines and compressors and selection of the turbines and valves to minimize the total annualized cost, which consists of the operational and capital expenses. The model is tested for its applicability in three case studies, including a cryogenic application. The results indicate that the energy integration reduces the quantity of utilities required, thus decreasing the overall cost. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 893–908, 2014     

Optimal design of integrated agricultural water networks

This paper presents a mathematical programming model for the optimal design of water networks in the agriculture. The proposed model is based on a new superstructure that includes all configurations in terms of use, reuse and regeneration of water in a field constituted by a number of croplands. The model also includes the allocation of pipelines, pumps and storage tanks in different irrigation periods. The objective function consists in maximizing the annual profit that is formed by the economic incomes owing to the crop sell minus the costs for fresh water, fertilizer, storage tanks, treatment units, piping and pumping. The proposed multi-period optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programming formulation, which was applied to a case study to demonstrate the economic, environmental and social benefits that can be obtained.

换热网络运行模拟优化

换热网络系统大多数是按给定工况,以投资费用和运行费用最优为目标设计的。但在实际运行过程中,确定和不确定性的影响因素往往导致换热网络的运行工况偏离设计值。偏离设计工况运行的换热网络性能变差,导致运行费用增加,甚至不能满足工艺物流换热要求。在换热网络结构给定条件下,将满足物流目标温度和运行费用最优作为目标函数,以单体模型和Yee et al.（1990）提出的多级超结构为基础,建立换热网络运行模拟优化模型,并进一步去除恒定膜传热系数假设使模型贴近实际问题。针对提出的非线性数学模型（NLP）问题,以标准粒子群算法为基础建立求解策略。在论文的最后,4个来源于已发表论文的实例研究证明了该优化方法的有效性。
