A Probablisitic Approach for Optimal Operation of Gas Processing Plant under Uncertain inlet-outlet Conditions
Author(s): Mesfin Getu
Natural gas plant operations contribute hugely to the economies of many developed nations that depend on hydrocarbon resources. The plant operation is usually subjected to continuous variations in upstream conditions, such as flow rate, composition, temperature and pressure, which propagate through the plant and affect its stable operations. As a result, decision making for optimal operating conditions of an in-operation plant is a complex problem and it is exacerbated with the changing product specifications and variations in energy supplies. This work presents a new solution method to the problem, which is based on chance constrained optimization. A deterministic model is initially developed from process simulation using Aspen HYSYS and later converted to a chance constrained .. View More»
