On Propagating Requirements and Selecting Fuels for a Benson Boiler

Profit Maximization of a Power Plant

“…The functions in (4) are in this work assumed sufficiently smooth (C and explanation of the above quantities can be found in [14], [12], [13], and [10]. A prognosis of the next days's electricity consumption is established by Energinet.dk 4 , which is responsible for the electrical grid in Denmark.…”

“…The optimization in (14) has been implemented using YALMIP with the following constants used for the parameters in (32) and (38) h = 192s, β q = 0.05, T = 86400s, N = 450, and solved using the quadratic solver BPMPD. Remark that the sampling time of 192 s yielding 450 discrete points in time is close to the limit of the capabilities of the computer used for the optimization.…”

“…The problem stated above has been discussed in [14], [12], [13], and [10]. In particular, the formulation in [10] which includes plant dynamics gives the basis of this work.…”

Selecting actuator configuration for a benson boiler: Production economics

“…An attempt of this has been presented in [7] where functionals describing the business objectives are maximized. This work will also follow this approach and utilize notions from production economics.…”

Optimal usage of coal, gas and oil in a power plant

“…An attempt of this has been presented in [8] where functionals describing the business objectives are maximised. In [8] heuristics was used to solve the problem and the functionals encapsulated both the economical value and business objective measures.…”
