Framework for the Multiperiod Sequential Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks with Selection, Design, and Scheduling of Multiple Utilities

A novel sequential approach is proposed for the multiperiod synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) and Utility Systems of chemical processes and energy systems. The framework can be used also for single period problems. Given the set of hot and cold process streams with period dependent heat loads and target temperatures and a set of available utility systems, the algorithm determines the optimal utility system selection, design, and operation scheduling, as well as the optimal HEN. In this work, the approach of solving multiperiod problems by adopting (1) the Multiperiod Utility Integration and Scheduling model of Marechal and Kalitventzeff, a modified formulation for (2) the Multiperiod Minimum Number of Units problem of Floudas and Grossmann, and (3) the Multiperiod Minimum Investment Network problem proposed by Floudas and Grossmann is improved by coupling the existing framework with the derivative-free hybrid algorithm PGS-COM of Martelli and Amaldi. Compared to the classic sequential approach,3 ...
