Optimal Distribution of Gases in Integrated Iron and Steel Works

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the optimizing distribution problems between the by-product gas in gas tank and self-contained boiler in electric power plant in the iron and steel plant. We discuss factors which have effect on operating costs, such as the control of gas tank position, the change of fuel load of self-contained boiler in electric power plant, price change of outsourcing fuels and so on. We set corresponding penalty function in iron and steel company as well as establish the optimizing mathematical model in gas supply system according to these questions. It can be known through solving the model that the gap of gas supply and consumption can be solved by optimizing distribution between gas tank and self-contained boiler in electric power plant. After that, reducing the consumption of purchased fuels amount and the frequent changes of fuels load in boiler, improving the efficiency of power generation, achieving zero-emission, making the gas supply system operates securely, economically and stably can realize.
