Unlocking the Potential of Synthetic Fuel Production: Coupled Optimization of Heat Exchanger Network and Operating Parameters of a 1 MW Power-to-Liquid Plant
David Huber, Felix Birkelbach, René Hofmann
The use of synthetic fuels is a promising way to reduce emissions significantly. To accelerate cost-effective large-scale synthetic fuel deployment, we optimize a novel 1 MW PtL-pl…
Evaluating synthetic fuel production: A case study on the influence of electricity and CO2 price variations
David Huber, Felix Birkelbach, René Hofmann
To combat climate change, we need to reduce emissions from the transport sector. Synthetic fuels are a long-term solution for aviation, maritime and heavy machinery. Large-scale us…
Piecewise linear approximation for MILP leveraging piecewise convexity to improve performance
Felix Birkelbach, David Huber, René Hofmann
Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) has seen a sharp rise in use for engineering optimization applications in recent years. Even for initially non-linear problems, it is often…
HENS unchained: MILP implementation of multi-stage utilities with stream splits, variable temperatures and flow capacities
David Huber, Felix Birkelbach, Rene Hofmann
Heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS) is a well-studied method in research for determining cost-optimal heat exchanger networks. In this paper, we present a modified superstructu…
