Multi-objective optimization of utility systems and heat exchanger networks: method and application to the solar assisted hydrothermal gasification case

François Maréchal, Alberto Mian, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Emanuele Martelli

This work presents a novel framework for the multi-objective synthesis of utility systems and Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) under single or multi-period operations. In order to solve the resulting Mixed Integer Non Linear (MINLP) programming problem, a bi- ...

A systematic methodology for the techno-economic optimization of Organic Rankine Cycles

Alberto Mian, Emanuele Martelli

This work presents a general and systematic methodology for the techno-economic optimization of Rankine cycles. The proposed superstructure for Rankine cycles allows to reproduce a wide range of cycle configurations, such as cycles with/without regenerator ...

MINLP model and two-stage algorithm for the simultaneous synthesis of heat exchanger networks, utility systems and heat recovery cycles

François Maréchal, Alberto Mian, Emanuele Martelli

This work proposes a novel approach for the simultaneous synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems of chemical processes and energy systems. Given a set of hot and cold process streams and a set of available utility systems, the method ...

A general superstructure for the optimal synthesis and design of power and inverse Rankine cycles, 27th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering

François Maréchal, Alberto Mian, Emanuele Martelli

This work presents a very general superstructure capable of reproducing any configuration of Rankine cycles, both power cycles (steam cycles we well as Organic Rankine Cycles) and inverse cycles (refrigeration cycles or heat pumps), as well as heat/steam d ...

Multiperiod Sequential Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks and Utility Systems including storages

François Maréchal, Alberto Mian, Emanuele Martelli

This work proposes a sequential approach for the multi-period synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems of chemical processes and energy systems, including thermal, electric and material storage. The optimization approach is sequential ...
