Book Economic Model Predictive Control

Download or read book Economic Model Predictive Control written by Matthew Ellis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents general methods for the design of economic model predictive control (EMPC) systems for broad classes of nonlinear systems that address key theoretical and practical considerations including recursive feasibility, closed-loop stability, closed-loop performance, and computational efficiency. Specifically, the book proposes: Lyapunov-based EMPC methods for nonlinear systems; two-tier EMPC architectures that are highly computationally efficient; and EMPC schemes handling explicitly uncertainty, time-varying cost functions, time-delays and multiple-time-scale dynamics. The proposed methods employ a variety of tools ranging from nonlinear systems analysis, through Lyapunov-based control techniques to nonlinear dynamic optimization. The applicability and performance of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a number of chemical process examples. The book presents state-of-the-art methods for the design of economic model predictive control systems for chemical processes.In addition to being mathematically rigorous, these methods accommodate key practical issues, for example, direct optimization of process economics, time-varying economic cost functions and computational efficiency. Numerous comments and remarks providing fundamental understanding of the merging of process economics and feedback control into a single framework are included. A control engineer can easily tailor the many detailed examples of industrial relevance given within the text to a specific application. The authors present a rich collection of new research topics and references to significant recent work making Economic Model Predictive Control an important source of information and inspiration for academics and graduate students researching the area and for process engineers interested in applying its ideas.

Book Are Water Lean Solvents a Game Changer in Post Combustion Co2 Capture

Download or read book Are Water Lean Solvents a Game Changer in Post Combustion Co2 Capture written by Niall Mac Dowell and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fossil fuel fired power generation will likely remain part of the energy mix in the mid-term and it is widely regarded that large scale Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS†) must be deployed in order to meet COP21's‡ targets. A vast research effort focused on increasing a solvent's equilibrium capacity to absorb CO2 or on reducing the inherent energy requirement of regenerating the solvent, and led to thousands of new materials being proposed in the last decades. Chemical solvent based post-combustion capture is the most mature technology, which could be deployed near-term and at large scale. Amine scrubbing is the predominant technology and usually utilises aqueous blends of primary, secondary, tertiary, sterically hindered or cyclic amines. Common examples are monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine. State-of-the-art proprietary amine solvents have shown workable capacities up to 5000 tonnes CO2 per day at commercial-scale plants at Boundary Dam and Petra Nova. Water-lean systems include e.g., conventional ionic liquids (ILs), amines in ILs, phase changing solvents, and CO2-binding organic liquids (CO2BOLs), which replace water with alcohol and nucleophilic amines with a non-nucleophilic base. It is common heuristic that increased viscosity is a significant disadvantage, and water-lean solvents are significantly more viscous compared to conventional alkanolamine solvents. Typical viscosities range from 10mPa∙s up to 3500mPa∙s at their respective operating window. Those values significantly exceed the order of 30wt-% aqueous MEA (2.5mPa∙s). Recent results indicate reductions in CO2BOL's intrinsic viscosity to smaller than 250mPa∙s [5,6]. Water-lean solvents show superior mass transfer and kinetics compared to amines, which opens highly non-linear multi-dimensional trade-offs between thermodynamic- and transport-properties (e.g., enhanced kinetics and increased viscosity). Previous results indicate that viscosity dominates the installed costs and even limits the usability of conventional ILs as post-combustion capture solvents.In this study, we present a techno-economic assessment of typical water-lean solvents and evaluate a potential cost benefit over typical aqueous amine solutions for coal-fired power plant flue gas conditions, e.g., yCO2=12%. The aim is to identify if the enhanced kinetics outweigh the effect of the increased viscosity on a cost per ton basis. The economic calculation (CAPEX, OPEX) is physically based on properties such as e.g., column height, material or flowrates and is condensed into the total annualised costs (TAC, total cost of ownership) $/tonCO2. This study quantifies the trade-off between viscosity and kinetics, in order to benchmark an acceptable increase in viscosity with enhanced kinetics for water-lean solvents. A two-dimensional sensitivity analysis and the impact of a solvent's viscosity and kinetics (expressed as weight fraction of an active compound, which has the same type of kinetics as MEA) are shown in Figure 1§. The steep incline in TAC between 10mPa∙s and 20mPa∙s is mainly triggered by a transition from turbulent to laminar flow in the heat exchangers [2]. The TAC decreases with increasing weight fraction, which indicates that the enhanced kinetics (e.g., higher absolute rate of reaction) outweigh effects by increased viscosity, i.e., the viscosity does not limit the equipment through e.g., unrealistic absorber's height [3], because less solvent is needed to absorb the same amount of CO2.

Book Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration

Download or read book Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To achieve goals for climate and economic growth, "negative emissions technologies" (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in mitigating climate change. Unlike carbon capture and storage technologies that remove carbon dioxide emissions directly from large point sources such as coal power plants, NETs remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks. Storing the carbon dioxide from NETs has the same impact on the atmosphere and climate as simultaneously preventing an equal amount of carbon dioxide from being emitted. Recent analyses found that deploying NETs may be less expensive and less disruptive than reducing some emissions, such as a substantial portion of agricultural and land-use emissions and some transportation emissions. In 2015, the National Academies published Climate Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration, which described and initially assessed NETs and sequestration technologies. This report acknowledged the relative paucity of research on NETs and recommended development of a research agenda that covers all aspects of NETs from fundamental science to full-scale deployment. To address this need, Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration: A Research Agenda assesses the benefits, risks, and "sustainable scale potential" for NETs and sequestration. This report also defines the essential components of a research and development program, including its estimated costs and potential impact.

Book Post combustion Capture and Regeneration of CO2

Download or read book Post combustion Capture and Regeneration of CO2 written by Haresankar Jayasankar and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas is a highly energy-intensive operation and requires a large capital investment. In a post-combustion capture system, the process takes place in two stages: CO2 is captured from the flue gas using chemical solvents or sorbents, and it is regenerated before compression and transportation to storage[1], [2].The objective of this work is to design configurations of separation of CO2 that can be adapted in an industrial cluster with various emission sources. Firstly, an in-depth literature review was carried out to understand several topics under CO2 capture methods, solvent-based CO2 separation and its components, carbon dioxide capture and transport infrastructures, and transport costs through pipelines and trucks. The configurations were developed based on different locations of capture and regeneration of CO2 with respect to the emission source in an industrial cluster.Three primary configurations for solvent-based post-combustion separation of CO2 were identified: (a) Onsite capture, regeneration and temporary storage, in which CO2 is captured, regenerated and stored temporarily at the source of emission; (b) Onsite capture offsite regeneration and storage, in which CO2 is captured from the flue gas locally at the source of emission and the solvent is regenerated and stored temporarily elsewhere; and (c) Offsite capture and regeneration, in which CO2 is captured, regenerated and stored temporarily in a location away from the source of emission. Overall, this paper explores various component configurations for post-combustion CO2 separation and temporary storage process with respect to the location of the source of emission. Further understanding of the costs for CO2 separation from each configuration and the viability of implementing them in the real world is required.
