Problems solved by technology

[0023] Characteristic values ​​such as production costs or production quantities are determined separately for either the power generation plant or the water desalination plant, but not for the entire technical installation, so that multiple performance characteristic values ​​can only be combined by a complex manual process To analyze the operation of the combined device
[0024] Furthermore, currently used simulation and optimization methods do not provide sufficient simulation and optimization solutions for combined installations to determine operating costs, calculate characteristic values, determine optimal operating points, or design equipment as required by operators

Embodiment Construction

[0062] figure 1 An embodiment of a combined power generation and water desalination plant arrangement is shown, consisting of a power plant KW for generating electricity and / or steam from fuel and a desalination plant EA in which seawater or brackish water desalination.

[0063] The water desalination plant comprises a plurality of desalination units 2 , wherein the desalination units are combined with the power plant or individual power plant plant units 5 depending on the plant structure. For hot water desalination, seawater or brackish water is desalinated with waste steam from the power station KW or the power station unit 5 . The connection of the water desalination plant to the power station 3 offers optimization potential in terms of investment costs and operating costs. Investment costs are optimized during the planning phase by utilizing common infrastructure and offline simulation of operating scenarios, while online simulation of combined plants and use of optimiz...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system and a method for planning the operation of, monitoring processes in, simulating, and / or optimizing a technical installation comprising several units that can be combined with each other. Said system comprises at least one process planning module, at least one process simulation module, and at least one process optimization module. Components for modeling, simulating, and optimizing the technical installation are stored in said modules. The interrelated modules cooperate with a data management layer via at least one interface, said data management layer making available actual measured and / or historical process data for determining parameters and / or operational data for the modules in order to plan operations as well as simulate and optimize processes. The parameters and / or operational data determined in the modules can be fed to the data management layer for further processing by taking into account the stored components.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system and method for use planning, process monitoring, simulation and optimization of combined technical devices, and is especially suitable for process monitoring, simulation and optimization in combined power generation and water desalination equipment. Background technique [0002] Water desalination plants typically consist of one or more units which, depending on the plant design, are combined with power plants or individual power plant plant units, also referred to below as power plants. For example, exhaust steam from power stations or power station units is used for hot water desalination in order to desalinate sea or brackish water. [0003] Thermal or combined power plants for electricity generation generate the steam and / or electricity required for desalination of water according to the respectively used desalination process technology, which covers both thermal and membrane-based water desalination. [0004] The...
