A conceptual programming approach for the design of flexible HENs

Process integration, modelling and optimisation for energy saving and pollution reduction

“…The problem of HENs flexibility and operability had been dealt with by Tantimuratha et al [152]. They proposed simple MILP models to solve the problem.…”

Feasibility and flexibility for a trigeneration system

“…The use of different operation modes in the utility production systems to handle such periodic changes in utility demands has been demonstrated [15][16][17]. A trigeneration system should be designed and constructed with the capability to handle process uncertainties as the basic design requirement so as to prevent customer un-satisfaction or deprivation of the original economic efficiency [18,19].…”

Design of flexible heat exchanger network for multi-period operation

“…The rectangles inside show the maximum deviation of the two parameters for which the network remains feasible. Tantimuratha et al (2001) proposed a two-stage design procedure, where the first stage consists of area targeting using area target models developed by Briones and Kokossis (1999). For a selected set of matches from the first stage, the network is optimised with an iterative procedure to minimise annual costs.…”
