Optimal Operation Planning of an Oxygen Plant

Optimal Operation of a Waste Incineration Plant

A case study of a waste incineration plant operating close to optimality by using simple feed-back control schemes is presented. Using off-line optimization the structure of the optimization problem is exploited and a set of variables is found, such that if the process is controlled with those variables are at their setpoints, operation is near-optimal. The procedure applied to the waste incine...

An Overview of Hydroelectric Power Plant: Operation, Modeling, and Control

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable source of energy and provides almost one-fifth of electricity in the world. Also, it generates electricity using a renewable natural resource and accounting for six percent of worldwide energy supply or about fifteen percent of th...

Online Optimal Operation Planning and Control of Cogeneration Systems

This paper proposes on-line optimal operation planning and control of cogeneration systems (CGS). CGS is usually connected to various facilities such as refrigerators, reservoirs, and cooling towers. In order to generate optimal operation planning for CGS, startup/shutdown status and/or input/output values of the facilities for each control interval should be determined. The facilities may have...

A New Approach for Optimal Operation of Thermal Power Plant

Now a day’s one of the critical issues in a thermal power plant is to improve the efficiency of individual equipment. The various works found in literature shows that efficiency and availability depends on high reliability and maintainability of the equipments. But in present scenario with the concept of e– maintenance reduces the overall maintenance cost. The use of intelligent fault detection...
