Speci1047297cally at above pinch DT minpp2 is added to the shiftedtemperature in step a(i) At below pinch point DT minpp2 is sub-tracted in step b(i)

22 Tool 2 Total Site Problem Table Algorithm (TS-PTA)

The TS-PTA is a continuation of the PTA table with an extensionof four columns This table represents an algebraic version of theSite Composite Curve (SCC) in a graphical TSHI analysis Theprocedure is described as follows

a The heat sinks above the pinch region in each process areadded as lsquonet heat sinksrsquo according to utility type Similarly theheat sources below the pinch region are added to become lsquonetheat sourcesrsquo according to utility level

b The net heating requirement at each utility level is formulatedby deducting the net heat source from the net heat sink

c The net heating requirements are then cascaded from the topto the bottom

d Analogous to the PTA the most negative value of the previouscascade is then used to initiate a new cascade after 1047297rstchanging it to a positive value

e Similar steps to construct a PTA involving multiple utilities areperformed as followsi Above the Total Site Pinch the net heat requirement is

cascaded from the top to the bottom An external heatingutility is added into the system when there is a negativevalue to balance the heat de1047297cit at different utility levels

ii Below the Total Site Pinch the neat heat requirement iscascaded from the lowest temperature cooling utility to thepinch A negative external cooling utility is added whena positive value occurs in the cascade

23 Tool 3 Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

To visualise the site distribution network a TSUD table can beconstructed as follows

a The table lists the heat sources and sinks of each site accordingto utility The external heat requirement calculated in the TS-PTA is also recorded

b Arrows are used to indicate possible utility exchanges from onesite to another or from a utility plant to a site

24 Tool 4 Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is a practical tool foranalysing the effects of variations in Total Site operating conditions

on heat distribution and utility generation The TSST is constructedas below

a The TS-PTA is used to determine the utilities necessary fordifferent operating conditions eg when one of the plants is

shutdown The 1047297ndings are recorded in the table based on thedifferent types of utilities

b Variations of normal operation with various operating condi-tions are calculated by subtracting the utility requirements innormal operations from the utility requirements underdifferent operating conditions according to utility type

A more detailed explanation of all the tools using different stepsis described below

3 Demonstration Case study

The four tools are used to demonstrate their application to TotalSite sensitivity analysis

31 Step 1 construct the Problem Table Algorithm (PTA) to

determine QH min QC min and the pinch temperature for each

individual plant

The temperature of cold streams (T c) and the temperature of hotstreams (T h) in an individual plant are converted to shifted coldstream temperatures (T crsquo) and shifted hot stream temperatures(T hrsquo) T c is shifted by adding half of the minimum temperaturedifference between processes DT minpp whereas T h is shifted bysubtracting half of DT minpp Assuming a DT minpp of 20 C for plant A

and a DT minpp of 10

C for Plant B Tables 1 and 2 show the shiftedtemperatures of all streams in Plants A and B of Case Study1 Table 3 shows the utility temperature levels available at theplants which are used in the next step The minimum utilityprocess temperature difference DT minup is 10 C

PTA are performed for both Plant A and Plant B The completedPTAs for Plants A and B are shown in Tables 4a and 4b respectivelyAs shown in Table 4 plant A requires 2250 kW of hot utility and400 kW of cold utility with a shifted pinch temperature of 60 CPlant B requires 100 kW of hot utility and 1543 kW of cold utilitywith a shifted pinch temperature of 195 C Figs 1 and 2 are theGCCs for plants A and B The results from these GCCs are similar tothe results obtained from the PTA given in Tables 4a and 4b

32 Step 2 construct a Multiple Utility Problem Table Algorithm(MU-PTA) for each individual plant to obtain targets for multiple

utility levels as heat sources and sinks for TSHI

MU-PTA are constructed to target the amounts of various utilitylevels selected as potential sinks and sources for use in Total Site

integration The multiple utility cascade methodology is an exten-sion of the PTA with an additional 4 columns The multiple utilitycascade calculations are similar to GCCs and can be used identifypockets and target the exact amounts of utilities needed withina given utility temperature interval Note that multiple utilitycascades must be performed based on the pinch regions for eachplant that were determined in Step 1

321 Multiple utility cascades in the region above the pinch of each

individual plant

All shifted temperatures (T0) in the region above the pinch(column 1 Table 5) from Table 4 PTA are reduced by DT minpp2 toreturn them to normal temperatures and then the minimumtemperature difference between the utility and the process

(DT minup) is added as shown in column 2 Table 5 the resultingtemperature is labeled T 00 The utility temperatures listed in Table 3were also added into Table 5 to make it easier to determine theutility distribution at a later stage

Heat is again cascaded starting from the highest temperaturesegment to the pinch temperature as shown in column 7 Tables 5aand 5b Note that there are no changes in the calculations of lsquosummCprsquo and lsquosum DHrsquo for each temperature level This cascade isknown as a lsquomultiple utility heat cascadersquo it differs from theprevious heat cascade in the PTA (column 6 Tables 4a and 4b)because it is performed interval-by-interval If a negative value isencountered while cascading one of the temperatures externalutilities are immediately added at that point (the amount of external utility added is listed in column 8) equal to the negative

value The cascade then becomes zero at that temperature eg at

a shifted temperature of 190 C the cascade initially gives a valueof 600 kW at column 7 Therefore 600 kW of external utility isadded at this interval as listed at column 8 The cascade nowbecomes zero here as shown in column 7 Table 5 The cascade isthen continued and the procedure is repeated

Once the multiple utility heat cascades are completed theamounts of each type of utility consumed in the process areobtained by adding the utility consumed below the utilitytemperature (from column 8 Table 5) to before the next utilitytemperature For example Table 5a shows that 600 kW of high-pressure steam (HPS) at a temperature of 270 C is consumed inplant A between 270 C and 17993 C Thus 1650 kW of low-pressure steam (LPS) is used between 13359 and 60 C for plantA The same procedure is repeated for plant B to yield a require-

ment of 100 kW of high-pressure steam

322 Multiple utility cascades for the region below the pinch of

each individual plant

A similar methodology is used for multiple utility cascadingbelow the pinch temperature All temperatures available below thepinch are shifted by adding DT minpp2 and then subtracting theminimum temperature difference between the utility and processDT minup (see the region below the pinch in column 2 Table 5) toobtain the temperatures in the utility temperature scale Utilitytemperatures are then added to the temperature list as in column2 Table 5

However multiple utilities are instead cascaded starting fromthe bottom temperature to the pinch temperature and any positive

heat value encountered while cascading must be zeroed out by

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

sink (see column 4 Table 6) Fig 3 shows the TSP and the Site

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

22 Tool 2 Total Site Problem Table Algorithm (TS-PTA)

The TS-PTA is a continuation of the PTA table with an extensionof four columns This table represents an algebraic version of theSite Composite Curve (SCC) in a graphical TSHI analysis Theprocedure is described as follows

a The heat sinks above the pinch region in each process areadded as lsquonet heat sinksrsquo according to utility type Similarly theheat sources below the pinch region are added to become lsquonetheat sourcesrsquo according to utility level

b The net heating requirement at each utility level is formulatedby deducting the net heat source from the net heat sink

c The net heating requirements are then cascaded from the topto the bottom

d Analogous to the PTA the most negative value of the previouscascade is then used to initiate a new cascade after 1047297rstchanging it to a positive value

e Similar steps to construct a PTA involving multiple utilities areperformed as followsi Above the Total Site Pinch the net heat requirement is

cascaded from the top to the bottom An external heatingutility is added into the system when there is a negativevalue to balance the heat de1047297cit at different utility levels

ii Below the Total Site Pinch the neat heat requirement iscascaded from the lowest temperature cooling utility to thepinch A negative external cooling utility is added whena positive value occurs in the cascade

23 Tool 3 Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

To visualise the site distribution network a TSUD table can beconstructed as follows

a The table lists the heat sources and sinks of each site accordingto utility The external heat requirement calculated in the TS-PTA is also recorded

b Arrows are used to indicate possible utility exchanges from onesite to another or from a utility plant to a site

24 Tool 4 Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is a practical tool foranalysing the effects of variations in Total Site operating conditions

on heat distribution and utility generation The TSST is constructedas below

a The TS-PTA is used to determine the utilities necessary fordifferent operating conditions eg when one of the plants is

shutdown The 1047297ndings are recorded in the table based on thedifferent types of utilities

b Variations of normal operation with various operating condi-tions are calculated by subtracting the utility requirements innormal operations from the utility requirements underdifferent operating conditions according to utility type

A more detailed explanation of all the tools using different stepsis described below

3 Demonstration Case study

The four tools are used to demonstrate their application to TotalSite sensitivity analysis

31 Step 1 construct the Problem Table Algorithm (PTA) to

determine QH min QC min and the pinch temperature for each

individual plant

The temperature of cold streams (T c) and the temperature of hotstreams (T h) in an individual plant are converted to shifted coldstream temperatures (T crsquo) and shifted hot stream temperatures(T hrsquo) T c is shifted by adding half of the minimum temperaturedifference between processes DT minpp whereas T h is shifted bysubtracting half of DT minpp Assuming a DT minpp of 20 C for plant A

and a DT minpp of 10

C for Plant B Tables 1 and 2 show the shiftedtemperatures of all streams in Plants A and B of Case Study1 Table 3 shows the utility temperature levels available at theplants which are used in the next step The minimum utilityprocess temperature difference DT minup is 10 C

PTA are performed for both Plant A and Plant B The completedPTAs for Plants A and B are shown in Tables 4a and 4b respectivelyAs shown in Table 4 plant A requires 2250 kW of hot utility and400 kW of cold utility with a shifted pinch temperature of 60 CPlant B requires 100 kW of hot utility and 1543 kW of cold utilitywith a shifted pinch temperature of 195 C Figs 1 and 2 are theGCCs for plants A and B The results from these GCCs are similar tothe results obtained from the PTA given in Tables 4a and 4b

32 Step 2 construct a Multiple Utility Problem Table Algorithm(MU-PTA) for each individual plant to obtain targets for multiple

utility levels as heat sources and sinks for TSHI

MU-PTA are constructed to target the amounts of various utilitylevels selected as potential sinks and sources for use in Total Site

integration The multiple utility cascade methodology is an exten-sion of the PTA with an additional 4 columns The multiple utilitycascade calculations are similar to GCCs and can be used identifypockets and target the exact amounts of utilities needed withina given utility temperature interval Note that multiple utilitycascades must be performed based on the pinch regions for eachplant that were determined in Step 1

321 Multiple utility cascades in the region above the pinch of each

individual plant

All shifted temperatures (T0) in the region above the pinch(column 1 Table 5) from Table 4 PTA are reduced by DT minpp2 toreturn them to normal temperatures and then the minimumtemperature difference between the utility and the process

(DT minup) is added as shown in column 2 Table 5 the resultingtemperature is labeled T 00 The utility temperatures listed in Table 3were also added into Table 5 to make it easier to determine theutility distribution at a later stage

Heat is again cascaded starting from the highest temperaturesegment to the pinch temperature as shown in column 7 Tables 5aand 5b Note that there are no changes in the calculations of lsquosummCprsquo and lsquosum DHrsquo for each temperature level This cascade isknown as a lsquomultiple utility heat cascadersquo it differs from theprevious heat cascade in the PTA (column 6 Tables 4a and 4b)because it is performed interval-by-interval If a negative value isencountered while cascading one of the temperatures externalutilities are immediately added at that point (the amount of external utility added is listed in column 8) equal to the negative

value The cascade then becomes zero at that temperature eg at

a shifted temperature of 190 C the cascade initially gives a valueof 600 kW at column 7 Therefore 600 kW of external utility isadded at this interval as listed at column 8 The cascade nowbecomes zero here as shown in column 7 Table 5 The cascade isthen continued and the procedure is repeated

Once the multiple utility heat cascades are completed theamounts of each type of utility consumed in the process areobtained by adding the utility consumed below the utilitytemperature (from column 8 Table 5) to before the next utilitytemperature For example Table 5a shows that 600 kW of high-pressure steam (HPS) at a temperature of 270 C is consumed inplant A between 270 C and 17993 C Thus 1650 kW of low-pressure steam (LPS) is used between 13359 and 60 C for plantA The same procedure is repeated for plant B to yield a require-

ment of 100 kW of high-pressure steam

322 Multiple utility cascades for the region below the pinch of

each individual plant

A similar methodology is used for multiple utility cascadingbelow the pinch temperature All temperatures available below thepinch are shifted by adding DT minpp2 and then subtracting theminimum temperature difference between the utility and processDT minup (see the region below the pinch in column 2 Table 5) toobtain the temperatures in the utility temperature scale Utilitytemperatures are then added to the temperature list as in column2 Table 5

However multiple utilities are instead cascaded starting fromthe bottom temperature to the pinch temperature and any positive

heat value encountered while cascading must be zeroed out by

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

sink (see column 4 Table 6) Fig 3 shows the TSP and the Site

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

Speci1047297cally at above pinch DT minpp2 is added to the shiftedtemperature in step a(i) At below pinch point DT minpp2 is sub-tracted in step b(i)

22 Tool 2 Total Site Problem Table Algorithm (TS-PTA)

The TS-PTA is a continuation of the PTA table with an extensionof four columns This table represents an algebraic version of theSite Composite Curve (SCC) in a graphical TSHI analysis Theprocedure is described as follows

a The heat sinks above the pinch region in each process areadded as lsquonet heat sinksrsquo according to utility type Similarly theheat sources below the pinch region are added to become lsquonetheat sourcesrsquo according to utility level

b The net heating requirement at each utility level is formulatedby deducting the net heat source from the net heat sink

c The net heating requirements are then cascaded from the topto the bottom

d Analogous to the PTA the most negative value of the previouscascade is then used to initiate a new cascade after 1047297rstchanging it to a positive value

e Similar steps to construct a PTA involving multiple utilities areperformed as followsi Above the Total Site Pinch the net heat requirement is

cascaded from the top to the bottom An external heatingutility is added into the system when there is a negativevalue to balance the heat de1047297cit at different utility levels

ii Below the Total Site Pinch the neat heat requirement iscascaded from the lowest temperature cooling utility to thepinch A negative external cooling utility is added whena positive value occurs in the cascade

23 Tool 3 Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

To visualise the site distribution network a TSUD table can beconstructed as follows

a The table lists the heat sources and sinks of each site accordingto utility The external heat requirement calculated in the TS-PTA is also recorded

b Arrows are used to indicate possible utility exchanges from onesite to another or from a utility plant to a site

24 Tool 4 Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is a practical tool foranalysing the effects of variations in Total Site operating conditions

on heat distribution and utility generation The TSST is constructedas below

a The TS-PTA is used to determine the utilities necessary fordifferent operating conditions eg when one of the plants is

shutdown The 1047297ndings are recorded in the table based on thedifferent types of utilities

b Variations of normal operation with various operating condi-tions are calculated by subtracting the utility requirements innormal operations from the utility requirements underdifferent operating conditions according to utility type

A more detailed explanation of all the tools using different stepsis described below

3 Demonstration Case study

The four tools are used to demonstrate their application to TotalSite sensitivity analysis

31 Step 1 construct the Problem Table Algorithm (PTA) to

determine QH min QC min and the pinch temperature for each

individual plant

The temperature of cold streams (T c) and the temperature of hotstreams (T h) in an individual plant are converted to shifted coldstream temperatures (T crsquo) and shifted hot stream temperatures(T hrsquo) T c is shifted by adding half of the minimum temperaturedifference between processes DT minpp whereas T h is shifted bysubtracting half of DT minpp Assuming a DT minpp of 20 C for plant A

and a DT minpp of 10

C for Plant B Tables 1 and 2 show the shiftedtemperatures of all streams in Plants A and B of Case Study1 Table 3 shows the utility temperature levels available at theplants which are used in the next step The minimum utilityprocess temperature difference DT minup is 10 C

PTA are performed for both Plant A and Plant B The completedPTAs for Plants A and B are shown in Tables 4a and 4b respectivelyAs shown in Table 4 plant A requires 2250 kW of hot utility and400 kW of cold utility with a shifted pinch temperature of 60 CPlant B requires 100 kW of hot utility and 1543 kW of cold utilitywith a shifted pinch temperature of 195 C Figs 1 and 2 are theGCCs for plants A and B The results from these GCCs are similar tothe results obtained from the PTA given in Tables 4a and 4b

32 Step 2 construct a Multiple Utility Problem Table Algorithm(MU-PTA) for each individual plant to obtain targets for multiple

utility levels as heat sources and sinks for TSHI

MU-PTA are constructed to target the amounts of various utilitylevels selected as potential sinks and sources for use in Total Site

integration The multiple utility cascade methodology is an exten-sion of the PTA with an additional 4 columns The multiple utilitycascade calculations are similar to GCCs and can be used identifypockets and target the exact amounts of utilities needed withina given utility temperature interval Note that multiple utilitycascades must be performed based on the pinch regions for eachplant that were determined in Step 1

321 Multiple utility cascades in the region above the pinch of each

individual plant

All shifted temperatures (T0) in the region above the pinch(column 1 Table 5) from Table 4 PTA are reduced by DT minpp2 toreturn them to normal temperatures and then the minimumtemperature difference between the utility and the process

(DT minup) is added as shown in column 2 Table 5 the resultingtemperature is labeled T 00 The utility temperatures listed in Table 3were also added into Table 5 to make it easier to determine theutility distribution at a later stage

Heat is again cascaded starting from the highest temperaturesegment to the pinch temperature as shown in column 7 Tables 5aand 5b Note that there are no changes in the calculations of lsquosummCprsquo and lsquosum DHrsquo for each temperature level This cascade isknown as a lsquomultiple utility heat cascadersquo it differs from theprevious heat cascade in the PTA (column 6 Tables 4a and 4b)because it is performed interval-by-interval If a negative value isencountered while cascading one of the temperatures externalutilities are immediately added at that point (the amount of external utility added is listed in column 8) equal to the negative

value The cascade then becomes zero at that temperature eg at

a shifted temperature of 190 C the cascade initially gives a valueof 600 kW at column 7 Therefore 600 kW of external utility isadded at this interval as listed at column 8 The cascade nowbecomes zero here as shown in column 7 Table 5 The cascade isthen continued and the procedure is repeated

Once the multiple utility heat cascades are completed theamounts of each type of utility consumed in the process areobtained by adding the utility consumed below the utilitytemperature (from column 8 Table 5) to before the next utilitytemperature For example Table 5a shows that 600 kW of high-pressure steam (HPS) at a temperature of 270 C is consumed inplant A between 270 C and 17993 C Thus 1650 kW of low-pressure steam (LPS) is used between 13359 and 60 C for plantA The same procedure is repeated for plant B to yield a require-

ment of 100 kW of high-pressure steam

322 Multiple utility cascades for the region below the pinch of

each individual plant

A similar methodology is used for multiple utility cascadingbelow the pinch temperature All temperatures available below thepinch are shifted by adding DT minpp2 and then subtracting theminimum temperature difference between the utility and processDT minup (see the region below the pinch in column 2 Table 5) toobtain the temperatures in the utility temperature scale Utilitytemperatures are then added to the temperature list as in column2 Table 5

However multiple utilities are instead cascaded starting fromthe bottom temperature to the pinch temperature and any positive

heat value encountered while cascading must be zeroed out by

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

sink (see column 4 Table 6) Fig 3 shows the TSP and the Site

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

integration The multiple utility cascade methodology is an exten-sion of the PTA with an additional 4 columns The multiple utilitycascade calculations are similar to GCCs and can be used identifypockets and target the exact amounts of utilities needed withina given utility temperature interval Note that multiple utilitycascades must be performed based on the pinch regions for eachplant that were determined in Step 1

321 Multiple utility cascades in the region above the pinch of each

individual plant

All shifted temperatures (T0) in the region above the pinch(column 1 Table 5) from Table 4 PTA are reduced by DT minpp2 toreturn them to normal temperatures and then the minimumtemperature difference between the utility and the process

(DT minup) is added as shown in column 2 Table 5 the resultingtemperature is labeled T 00 The utility temperatures listed in Table 3were also added into Table 5 to make it easier to determine theutility distribution at a later stage

Heat is again cascaded starting from the highest temperaturesegment to the pinch temperature as shown in column 7 Tables 5aand 5b Note that there are no changes in the calculations of lsquosummCprsquo and lsquosum DHrsquo for each temperature level This cascade isknown as a lsquomultiple utility heat cascadersquo it differs from theprevious heat cascade in the PTA (column 6 Tables 4a and 4b)because it is performed interval-by-interval If a negative value isencountered while cascading one of the temperatures externalutilities are immediately added at that point (the amount of external utility added is listed in column 8) equal to the negative

value The cascade then becomes zero at that temperature eg at

a shifted temperature of 190 C the cascade initially gives a valueof 600 kW at column 7 Therefore 600 kW of external utility isadded at this interval as listed at column 8 The cascade nowbecomes zero here as shown in column 7 Table 5 The cascade isthen continued and the procedure is repeated

Once the multiple utility heat cascades are completed theamounts of each type of utility consumed in the process areobtained by adding the utility consumed below the utilitytemperature (from column 8 Table 5) to before the next utilitytemperature For example Table 5a shows that 600 kW of high-pressure steam (HPS) at a temperature of 270 C is consumed inplant A between 270 C and 17993 C Thus 1650 kW of low-pressure steam (LPS) is used between 13359 and 60 C for plantA The same procedure is repeated for plant B to yield a require-

ment of 100 kW of high-pressure steam

322 Multiple utility cascades for the region below the pinch of

each individual plant

A similar methodology is used for multiple utility cascadingbelow the pinch temperature All temperatures available below thepinch are shifted by adding DT minpp2 and then subtracting theminimum temperature difference between the utility and processDT minup (see the region below the pinch in column 2 Table 5) toobtain the temperatures in the utility temperature scale Utilitytemperatures are then added to the temperature list as in column2 Table 5

However multiple utilities are instead cascaded starting fromthe bottom temperature to the pinch temperature and any positive

heat value encountered while cascading must be zeroed out by

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

sink (see column 4 Table 6) Fig 3 shows the TSP and the Site

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

generating utilities (see the lower partof column 7 and 8 inTable 5)For the region below the pinch the negative values encounteredduring multiple utility cascading represent pockets in the GCC

The amount of utility that can be generated can be determinedby adding the amounts of excess heat from above the utilitytemperature to the next utility temperature level For exampleplant A can generate 400 kW of CW using process heat between 50and 10 C For plant B 21650 kW of medium pressure steam (MPS)at 190 to 17993 C and 99631 kW of LPS between 17993 and13359 C can be generated whereas 33019 kWof CW is consumed

The proposed method differs from the one developed by Costaand Queiroz [17] The method in this study was developed througha detailed observation of multiple utility targeting in the GCC Inaddition the method proposed herein is a direct continuation of the PTA in which the multiple utility cascade actually uses most of the information from the PTA The method proposed by Costa andQueiroz [17] includes an interpolation step for 1047297nding the upperand lower temperature boundaries after utility targeting However

the proposed methodology targets utilities according to tempera-ture intervals with the utility temperatures becoming temperatureboundaries to distinguish the amounts of each utility type The

calculationsinvolved in this proposed methodare also simpler thanthose of the previously proposed method

33 Step 3 construct the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm

(TS-PTA) to determine the amounts of utilities that can be

exchanged among processes

This part is an extension of the PTA to represent the Site CC inTSHI The utilities available from each plant are arranged fromhighest to lowest temperature The utilities generated below thepinch temperature for all sites as determined in Step 3 are addedtogether to represent the net heat source (see column 3 Table 6)The utilities consumed above the pinch temperature for all sites asdetermined in Step 2 are added together to represent the net heat

sink (see column 4 Table 6) Fig 3 shows the TSP and the Site

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

34 Step 4 construct a Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

Fig 3 TSP and SCC for Case study 1 [15]

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

utility needed for the system by making it positive and cascadingcolumn 5 again (see column 7 Table 6) This gives a value of 113719 kW of external heating needed The value at the bottom of the cascade represents the total cooling utility needed by thesystem which is 73019 kW The location at which the valuebecomes zero is the Total Site Pinch Point which is between the LPSand CW temperatures

Similarly to Step 2 the utilities in Table 6 can be separated intotwo parts ie the regions above and below the Total Site Pinchregion Multiple utility cascades above the Total Site Pinch point usethe same method as in Step 2(a) (see column 8 and 9 Table 6) Thenet heat requirement (column 5 Table 6) is cascaded (column 8 and9) from the top to the pinch point by assuming that there is no heatsupplied at a temperature above the HPS The same amount of external heating utility is added when there is a negative value inthe cascade eg 700kW of HPS and 43719 kWof LPS are needed inCase study 1 as heating utilities Step 2(b) is similar for the regionbelow the Total Site Pinch as shown below the pinch in columns 8and 9 of Table 6 Multiple utilities are cascaded (columns 8 and 9)from the bottom to the pinch point and cooling utility is addedwhen there is a positive value in the cascade until it reaches zeroNote that cooling utilities below the Total Site Pinch are repre-

sented by negative numbers For Case study 1 73019 kW of external cooling water (CW) is required to dispose of the excessheat

The effect of multiple utilitycascading above the Total Site Pinchin Table 6 is clearly evident in Fig 3 The heat sources at MP and LPtemperatures are provided to the heat sink at LP A heatingrequirement is necessary for LP instead of MP which is lesseconomical Fig 3 clearly shows that the heat requirement of 43719 kW also can be ful1047297lled by using Hot Water (HW) at a rangebetween 50 and 60 C

to visualise the utility 1047298ow in the sites

The SCC does not adequately display the utility distributionwhen there are several processes involved on the integrated siteThe amounts of utility distribution for each site from on-site utilitysystems can be visualised using the TSUD table (Table 7) All the

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

Composite Curve for Case study 1 as proposed by Varbanov et al[15] The net heat sink and the net heat source from Fig 3 are thesame as in the TS-PTA (columns 3 and 4 Table 6) The net heat sinkis subtracted from the net heat source to obtain the net heatrequirement (column 5 Table 6) The locations with negativeamounts of net heat indicate heat de1047297cits whereas the locationswith positive values indicate heat surpluses The Second Law of Thermodynamics speci1047297es that heat can only be transferred froma higher temperature to a lower temperature Therefore the heatsurplus at higher temperature utilities can be transferredto utilitieswith lower temperatures that have heat de1047297cits For example the217 kW of MPS in Case study 1 can be transferred to LPS which has

heat de1047297

cit of 654 kW instead of disposing of this excess heat withan external cooling utility As a result the net heat requirement iscascaded from top to bottom starting with an initial value of zeroThe most negative value in the initial heat cascade (column 6Table 6) is then used to determine the amount of external heating

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed

heat sources and heat sinks in the various plants are listed sepa-rately according to utility type as shown in columns 3 and 4 Theexternal utilities calculated from Step 4 are also listed in Table 7Arrows within the table show that heat sources can be transferredto heat sinks for the same type of utility If there are extra heatsources heat can be transferred to the lower utility levels

4 Application of the TS-PTA to TS sensitivity with changesand variations

As mentioned previously the TS-PTA can be bene1047297cial for ana-lysing the sensitivity of the TSHI to plant shutdowns due to main-tenance or upsets and to design mitigation strategies This isillustrated using Case study 2 from Perry et al [8] Here there arefour sites considered in Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES)two industrial process plants a hospital complex and a combinedresidential and of 1047297ce complex The stream data for the four plantsare listed in Table 8e11 Plants A and C are assumed to have thesame DT minpp of 20 C whereas Plants B and D both have a DT minpp

of 10C Table 12 shows the types of utilities serving the area witha DT minup of 10 C

Steps 1 to 4 were performed for the processes in Case study 2The 1047297nal TS-PTA values for the standard operation of the plantscomprising the TS are listedin Table 13 Due to its numerical natureit is very convenient to manipulate data in the TS-PTA to obtain newvalues for various cases Forexample to consider a plant shutdownwe omit the contributions from the shutdown plant from the heatsinks and sources in columns 3 and 4 of Table 13 The new externalutility requirements are then obtained Table 14 summarises theexternal utility variations when one of the plants is shutdown Werefer to Table 14 as the proposed Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)which can be used to gain many insights into utility system designThe variance in Table 14 is calculated by subtracting the amounts of external utilities during plant shutdowns from the values neededduring normal operation A positive variance above the Total SitePinch indicates that the central utility has a heat surplus that is not

used in any sinks The utility systems have the following options

(i) Fewer utilities can be generated if permittedby the turn downratio

(ii) The heat surplus can be disposed of using an external coolingutility which would incur a penalty cost

(iii) The heat surplus can be sold to other plants(iv) For HP or MP steam if a plant has a combined heat and power

system (CHP) with a double-stage extraction turbine the heatsurplus can be used to generate extra electricity for the plant

(v) The heat surplus can be cascaded downwardsto locationswithnegative variances provided they are still located in the sameTS-PTA pinch region

A positive variance below the Total Site Pinch represents surpluscooling utility produced by the utility plant and it can be cascaded

STEP 1 Perform Problem Table Algorithm (PTA) for all individual process

STEP 2 Construct multiple utility cascade for each individual process

Above pinch temp (heat sink) Below pinch temp (heat source)

Cascade the heat available from the highest

temperature towards pinch temperature external utility

added when there is negative value in the cascade

Shift all the temperatures by deduct ∆Tminpp2 and add

with ∆Tminup

Shift all the temperatures by add ∆Tminpp2 and deduct

with ∆Tminup

Sum the external heat enthalpy below the utility

temperature until before the next utility temperature

Cascade the heat available from the lowest

temperature towards pinch temperature external utility

added when there is positive value in the cascade

Sum the external heat enthalpy above the utility

temperature until before the next utility temperature

STEP 3 Perform Total Site Problem Table Algorithm (TS-PTA)

Formulate lsquoNet heat sinkrsquo and lsquoNet heat sourcersquo by adding heat sink from above pinch region at each

processes and heat source from below pinch region according to utility level

Calculate lsquoNet heat requirementrsquo by deducting net heat source with net heat sink

Cascade the net heat requirement from top to bottom by assuming no hot utility provided

Cascade the net heat requirement from top to bottom by taking the most negative value in the

previous cascade as hot utility provided

Above Total Site Pinch Below Total Site Pinch

Cascade the heat available from the highest

temperature towards pinch temperature external utility

added when there is negative value in the cascade

Cascade the heat available from the lowest

temperature towards pinch temperature external utility

added when there is positive value in the cascade

STEP 4 Construct Total Site Utility Distribution

(TSUD) Table

Record all the heat sinks and sources of different

processes according to types of utility Record also site

utility requirement as calculated in STEP 4

Represent the heat flows from one process to another

or from utility to a process

Application Construct Total Site Sensitivity Table

upwards to serve as an extra heat source at higher temperature Anegative variance indicates the central utility has a heat de1047297cit andmore external utility must be generated Based on this de1047297cit thedesigners can determine the maximum size of utility system thatmust be built

Based on Case study 2 the following conclusions can be drawn

(i) HP - If Plant C is shutdown there will be excess HP Because allthe above pinch variance for utilities below HP (ST and HW)are also positivethis heat cannotbe cascaded downwards TheHP must be diverted for electricity generation if a CHP systemis available disposed of using cooling utilities or sold to otherplants For other plant shutdowns there is no effect on HPconsumption

(ii) ST - For ST more ST is needed if Plant A is shutdown andexcess ST is generated if Plants B C and D are shutdown Theboiler generating ST should have a maximum design capacitythat can reach 7770 kW and the boiler could be turn down to810 kW because if Plant B is shutdown part of the surplus STavailable can be cascaded downwards to satisfy the HWdemand a negative variance)

(iii) HW- For HW moreHW isneeded ifPlant A and B are shutdown

and excess HW is generated if Plant C and D are shutdownHence the boilerheater generating HW should havea maximum design capacity that can reach 6897 kWand a turndown of not more than 4863 kW If the turn down is morethan4863kW extracooling utilities will be neededor the extraHWcan be sold to other plants The HW utility requirement if PlantB is shutdown can be obtained from the surplus ST available

(iv) CW - If Plant B is shutdown there will be 35 kW of extracooling water capacity available This extra cooling water canbe used to remove the surplus heat from ST or the coolingtower can be shutdown

5 Methodology summary

Fig 4 presents a summary of the overall procedure for the fouruseful tools proposed in this study the Problem Table Algorithmwith multiple utility targets the Total Site Problem Table Algorithm(TS-PTA) the Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table and theTotal Site Sensitivity Table (TSST)

6 Conclusions

In the following we present a summary of the contributions of this work

1) A new method was developed for calculating multiple utilitylevels in the PTA that is simpler than that presented by Costa

and Queiroz [17] This work introduced the use of multipleutility cascades to determine multiple utility levels for indi-vidual PTAs and TS-PTAs This tool enables the multiple utilitytargeting for individual processes to be done effectively usingthe numerical approach which produces more accurate results

2) The TS-PTA was introduced for TSHI We further demonstratedthat the TS-PTA yields more accurate results for TSHI analysiswhen compared with a graphical approach which is prone toinaccuracies The tool saves time and effort in determiningamounts of heat interchange among plants compared withgraphically constructed CCs GCCs TSPs and SCCs This toolcould be explored further for the variable supply and demandTotal Site problem as proposed by Varbanov and Klemes [9]Also TS-PTA could be used for continuous and batch processes

that may not be conveniently solved using graphical tools

3) The Total Site Utility Distribution (TSUD) table can be bene1047297cialfor the design of a Total Site utility distribution network Thistool can be used to visualise and design the heat transfernetwork in the system between utility streams and processstreams

4) The Total Site Sensitivity Table (TSST) is introduced to analyseTotal Site sensitivity A typical example is TSST can be use foranalysing the variation in a plantrsquos utility requirements whenone of the integrated site plants is shutdown for reasons suchas scheduled maintenance (eg for repairing faulty parts orclearing unwanted material in the reactor) periodic shutdowns(eg summer district heating shutdowns in the northernhemisphere) operability problems or unpredicted accidentsTSST results can also be used for utility design and productionplanning

The present research can be extended for the optimisation of cogeneration potential A prior study on assisted heat transfer [11]can also be integrated into the TS-PTA These developments shouldbe especially useful in increasing the applicability of the TS-PTAHeat storage in Total Site system also could be explored throughthe mathematical tool proposed
