✦ Synopsis

The paper proposes a new approach for the optimisation of utility networks. The approach makes use of the targeting and conceptual developments presented in Part I, and the available knowledge is exploited to accomplish a decomposition scheme that accommodates for both simple and complex units. The decomposition establishes a common modelling basis, and provides for variable efficiencies in the operation of the steam turbines. Its principles are exploited to set up a network superstructure that is comprised by a managable number of generic elements. The units are developed to take into account operational variations against which the optimisation objectives determine the component sets that need be used. As a result of the insights thrown into the formulation and the targeting models used, the optimisation effort is simply facilitated by a Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulation whose application is illustrated with several examples and an industrial case study.

The design of utility networks involves two major tasks: the selection of the steam levels, with respect to their pressure or saturation temperature, and the determination of the configuration of the operating units between the steam levels. Both tasks require models that enable the conversion of th
