Editorial: Targeting the Optimal Design and Operational Flexibility of Steam Cycles and Steam Networks

Steam Generators and Steam Distribution Networks

Optimal Operations and Resilient Investments in Steam Networks

Steam is a key energy vector for industrial sites, most commonly used for process heating and cooling, cogeneration of heat and mechanical power as a motive fluid or for stripping. Steam networks are used to carry steam from producers to consumers and between pressure levels through letdowns and steam turbines. The steam producers (boilers, heat and power cogeneration units, heat exchangers, ch...

Steam-Powered Sensing: Extended Design and Evaluation

Sensornets promise to extend automated monitoring and control into industrial processes. In spite of great progress made in sensornet design, deployment and operational cost impedes use of sensornet in many real-word scenarios—these challenges are so great that industries often continue with infrequent, manual observations over automation, even for key business processes. In this paper we propo...
