Optimisation of unit investment and load shedding in a steam network facing undercapacity

François Maréchal, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener

Steam networks and their utilities should be dimensioned to satisfy day-to-day demand as well peaks. Peaks can be caused by unit start-ups, extreme weather conditions or combinations of high demand from process units. During maintenance operations or unexp ...
