Originální abstrakt

The steam turbine network can significantly affect the energy utilization efficiency of a chemical plant. The parametric optimization of steam turbine network is investigated in this paper by using Aspen Plus software. The existing steam turbine network is simulated first. Then, for minimizing the operating cost of the steam system, the network parameters including the steam production of boilers, the steam exhaust of turbines, the steam passing through let-down valves and the steam allocation among different turbines are optimized based on the "Sensitivity Analysis" tool and the proposed optimization rules. The investigation of two literature examples shows that the proposed method is simple and can provide the results comparable to those obtained by mathematical programming methods.
