In this paper, an efficient hybrid approach to deal with multi-period heat exchanger networks
(HENs) synthesis, which is inherently formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear …

The algorithm presented in this work has been developed to search for the optimal topology
and design parameters of a set of Rankine cycles forming an energy system that …

In this article, three corrections are applied to improve the simultaneous optimization
synthesis approach (SOSA) of heat exchanger networks (HENs). First, the temperature …

This paper focuses on the thermodynamic modelling and parametric optimization of an
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) which recovers the heat stored in a thermal energy storage …

In this paper, a simple yet general superstructure for heat integration is presented. The
superstructure is a stage-wise representation where within each stage exchanges of heat …

In this paper a global optimization algorithm is presented to rigorously solve the MINLP
model by Yee and Grossmann (1990) for the synthesis of heat exchanger networks under …

In this two-part paper, a MILP sequential synthesis approach based on a new network
representation is proposed to facilitate the involvement of the process engineer in the …

Abstract Organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) offer a high structural design flexibility. The best
process structure can be identified via the optimization of a superstructure, which considers …

In this study a novel methodology for multi-period heat exchanger network synthesis is
presented. The new synthesis method aims to systematically generate many candidate …

This paper presents new methods for the optimisation of superstructures involving heat
exchanger networks (HENs) and mass exchanger networks (MENs). The techniques …
