A Double Pinch Criterion for Optimization of Regenerative Rankine Cycles: Powerplant Operation and Simulation/Optimization Software Modeling Strategies
-Easy to implement in new plants and operating plants-Requires no capital costs to implement and immediately applicable-Criterion is also beneficial for heat exchange and integration where working fluids are not identical-In simulation and optimization software, the criterion reduces time and memory requirements while eliminating errors and failures and avoids convergence to suboptimal local optimum
Optimizing (design and) operation of Rankine cycles
