An approach lo the optimization of thermal energy systems is described which is general in its structure and applicability, The method is rigorously founded on functional insights into thermodynamics. It allows any thermal energy system to be modelled in a standard form which is compatible with subsequent application of one or more of a range of suitable non-linear constrained optimizers. The formalism of the approach is such as to enable practising engineers, without special mathematical or optimization skills, to perform the necessary development. The modelling and calculation follow traditional engineering design procedures and use practical engineering insights to determine solution paths and methods. The technique of modelling is sequential modular and successive substitution is used where necessary. The modularity is extended to include the calculations of costs, handling of constraints and interfacing to optimization routines Optimizers successfully used are the generalized reduced gradient and the Box complex methods for non-linear problems, and the simplex method for a problem which could be linearized. The techniques were developed on realistic examples including a simple Rankine cycle, a combined heat and power plant and an industrial refrigeration plant. Subsequent applications include cogeneration plant and the utilities plants of a steelworks and an oil refinery. |
