Over the last three decades, flexibility and controllability considerations for heat exchanger
networks (HENs) have received great attention, respectively. However, they should be …

This paper discusses the online optimization and control of a heat-exchanger network (HEN)
through a two-level control structure. The low level is a constrained model predictive control …

When only single bypasses and utility duties are used as manipulations, optimal operation
of heat exchanger networks (HENs) can be categorized as an active constraint control …

For the long period operation of a heat exchanger network, the slow time-varying fouling
problem is one of the most critical problems, which seriously affects the sustainable energy …

This study presents a novel autonomous reconfiguration strategy to achieve full cycle
optimal control of the heat exchanger networks. The proposed method aims to select the …

Due to the common existence of heat exchanger networks (HENs) in fossil, nuclear and
chemical plants, the synthesis and control of HENs play a key role in guaranteeing the plant …

Heat exchanger networks present an interesting control problem due to coupling among
process streams. In this work, the linear quadratic regulator (LQR), a feedback optimal …

In der Arbeit wird ein Ansatz zur Planung und Bewertung der Weiternutzung von
Prozesswärme über Betriebsgrenzen hinweg auf Basis der Pinch-Analyse entwickelt. Er …

This pilot-scale heat exchanger demonstration compares two relatively simple nonlinear
model-based control strategies to conventional proportional-integral (PI) control. The two …

Because of its paramount importance in the successful industrial control strategy of a given
heat exchanger network (HEN), the control structure designs for providing appropriate …
