Modeling On-Site Utility Systems Using "APLUS"

Show full item recordAbstract
Most energy saving schemes on
industrial sites lead to reductions in
the steam and/or power demands on an
on-site utility system. Accurate
knowledge of the marginal and
incremental costs of the available
levels of steam and shaft power from
such systems is, therefore, essential
for the correct economic evaluation of
proposed retrofit schemes. Knowledge
of marginal costs is also essential
for continuous optimal operation of
on-site utility systems.
"APLUS" is an IBM-PC based
software package developed for
evaluation of marginal and incremental
costs of on-site utilities. "APLUS"
allows the user to configure
steam/power systems using sets of predefined
icons. Once a flowsheet has
been configured, the program can be
used to solve the heat and mass
balance and to generate accurate
marginal costs.
An overview of the package and
examples illustrating its applications
are presented in this paper.
