CONSERVATION THROUGH ENERGY SUPPLY OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Paper mill energy demands are dynamic, requiring frequent changes in steam and electricity supply. Compounding complexities of varying electricity and fuel costs, equipment and fuel availability, and different turbine steam path efficiencies make it impossible to manually determine the most efficient operation in time to avoid higher than necessary energy use and costs.This paper presents a real-time energy supply optimization approach that continues to realize energy use and cost reductions in Georgia-Pacific Crossett mill.
