A control algorithm approach for optimizing energy resources through power generation for a South African steel works plant
(SAIIE, 2014)
Numerous engineering plants have varieties of processes, where individual process flows are dependent on previous processes and operated by default or manual settings. Initial raw material feeds may fluctuate over time, ...
Simulation of a predominantly passive natural air cooling system
(IEEE, 2018)
Climate control is an everyday challenge. With the rapid surge in electricity prices over the past few years, air conditioning operating expenses necessarily increased. The effects, furthermore, of global warming result ...
The use of optimisation modelling for energy recovery investment decision making
(IEEE, 2019)
Investment decision making is a common occurrence
for any engineering company. These investments include any
possibility from relative inexpensive to extremely costly
equipment. When power generation turbine procurements ...
Performance visualisation of a transcritical CO2 heat pump under fault conditions
(NWU, 2018)
Heat pump systems have gained acceptance and appeal as an energy efficient alternative to electrical geysers for the
purpose of water heating. This paper investigates a next-generation transcritical heat pump system using ...
Utilising fluctuating off-gases more efficiently in a power co-generation environment through less flaring
(IEEE, 2016)
Common engineering practice is to generate steam from burnable off-gases, in boiler houses, where excess steam is allocated for power generation after plant requirements are met. If the quantities or chemical composition ...
Implementing an optimisation model for turbine investment selection under fluctuating steam productions
(IEEE, 2016)
Engineering plants typically have a variety of interlinked production chains, where process flows are dependent on upstream or downstream events. Raw material feeds may fluctuate over time, resulting in fluctuating off-gas ...
Operational advantages of mobile refrigeration using a closed loop heat rejection configuration
(2018)
The operational advantages of localised cooling, in particular
moving the cooling source as close as possible to the area where
cooling is required, has been investigated by different authors over
a number of years. ...
