This problem corresponds to refueling locomotives at different station yards during the course of its journey. Locomotive tanks have a fixed fuel capacity and prices of fuel vary across yards. In addition, there is a fixed cost for hiring a refueling truck ...
The design and operating of energy systems are key issues for matching the energy supply and consumption. Several optimization methods based on the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) have been developed for this purpose. However, due to the uncertaint ...
This paper presents an approach for combined mass and energy integration in process synthesis and illustrates it at the production of crude synthetic natural gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass and its separation in a membrane cascade. Based on a genera ...
Within the context of sustainable energy supply and CO2 emissions reduction a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) - Gas Turbine hybrid system, fuelled with gasified woody biomass for medium scale applications (8MWth,BM of dry biomass) is studied in detail. The sy ...
Integrating energy saving technologies allow the design of more compact industrial processes with improved energy efficiency, better performances and environmental friendliness. The goal of the European project EXSYS II has been to develop a methodology an ...
This work presents a synthesis method that leads to the preliminary design of industrial energy systems. Such systems are composed of several technologies that transform, through a set of physical unit operations, raw materials and energy into products and ...
Considering the economic importance of the electricity generation sector as well as its contribution to local, regional and global pollution, the development of new cost-effective and environmentally benign electricity generation and cogeneration systems i ...
This thesis presents a systematic methodology, based on pinch analysis and process integration techniques, to integrate heat pumps into industrial processes. The main goals are to decrease the energy consumption and the corresponding operating costs, and t ...
This book assembles coverage on all aspects of MIMO technology along with up-to-date information on key related issues. Contributors from leading academic and industrial institutions across the globe share their expertise and lend the book a global perspec ...
This mapping problem has to be solved in many application scenarios. In the automotive industry, for example, the implementation of car functions involves distributed task sets running on multiple electronic control units (ECU) with bus-based inter-task co ...
