In this work, a CO2 absorption process using aqueous monoethanol amine (MEA) as solvent for a post combustion capture plant was simulated using Aspen HYSYS. An Aspen HYSYS spreadsheet was used for equipment dimensioning, cost estimation and cost optimization. A standard process and a vapor recompression process for 85 % CO2 removal were simulated using the Li-Mather thermodynamic model. The energy consumptions and the total cost were calculated and compared. Cost optimum process parameters were calculated from sensitivity analysis. The vapor recompression process was shown to be both energy and cost optimum. With 20 years calculation period, the cost optimum absorber packing height was 16 meter, optimum temperature approach was 14 K and optimum recompression pressure was 130 kPa. With 10 years calculation period, the optimum values for the same parameters were 16 meter, 17 K and 140 kPa. Calculations of optimum process parameters dependent on factors like the calculation period have not been found in literature. Except from the temperature approach, the optimum values varied only slightly when the calculation period was changed.

Fluidization technology is widely used in solid processing industry due to the high efficiency, high heat and mass transfer rate and uniform operating conditions throughout the reactor. Biomass gasification is an emerging renewable energy technology where fluidized bed reactors are more popular compared to fixed bed reactor systems due to their scalability to deliver high throughput. Fluidization of large biomass particles is difficult, and the process is therefore assisted by a bed material with higher density. The combination of different types of particles makes it challenging to predict the fluid-dynamic behavior in the reactor. Computational particle fluid dynamics simulations using the commercial software Barracuda VR were performed to study the fluidization properties for a mixture of particles with different density and size. The density ratio for the two types of particles was six, which is the typical ratio for bed material to biomass in a gasifier. The results from simulations with Barracuda VR regarding bed pressure drop and the minimum fluidization velocity, show good agreement with available experimental data. The deviation between experimental data and simulations are less than 12%. Particle segregation was clearly observed both in the simulations and in the experimental study.

Simulator training with Virtual Reality Simulators deeply engages the operators and improves the learning outcome. The available commercial 3D and Virtual Reality Simulator products range from generic models for laptops to specialized projection rooms with a great variety of different audiovisual, haptic, and sensory effects. However, current virtual reality simulators do not take into account the physical and psychological strain involved in field operators’ work in real process plants. Collaborative training using Extreme Environments Training Simulators could enhance the learning process and provide a more realistic perception of the time and effort needed to carry out demanding operations in Extreme Environments. We suggest developing the following features for an optimal ETS experience and safe learning environment: immersive 3D virtual environments, mixed-reality features, automated assessment, and a monitoring system for the physiological and psychological condition of the trainees.

Rand Model Designer is a modern tool for modeling and simulation hierarchical multicomponent event-driven dynamical systems. It utilizes UML-based objectoriented Model Vision Language for designing dynamical and hybrid systems using modification of State Machines, and large-scale multicomponent systems: control systems with “inputs-outputs”, “physical” systems with “contacts-flows”, and novel variable structure component systems, particularly “agent” systems. This article provides a brief overview of the «Object-Oriented Modeling with Rand Model Designer 7» book contents (Kolesov et al., 2016), highlighting the differences between RMD and similar environments.

The Cauchy problem for a stiff system of ODEs is considered. The explicit m-stage first order methods of the Runge-Kutta type are designed with stability domains of intermediate numerical schemes conformed with the stability domain of the basic scheme. Inequalities for accuracy and stability control are obtained. A numerical algorithm based on the firstorder method and the five-stage fourth order Merson method is developed. The algorithm is aimed at solving large-scale systems of ODEs of moderate stiffness with low accuracy. It has been included in the library of solvers of the ISMA simulation environment. Numerical results showing growth of the efficiency are given.

PSE S.A. is the sole Transmission System Operator in Poland and, as such, responsible for the provision of reactive power resources for maintaining the voltage within predefined limits. This paper describes the problems associated with the investigation of voltage stability of transmission power grid. Voltage problems are the result of heavy loading of transmission lines and transformers. Voltage instability has been responsible for voltage damage in some parts of Polish Power Transmission System (PPTS) on 26 June 2006. The voltage criteria used for voltage security assessment should require, that the worst bus voltage at post-contingency N-1 and sometimes N-2, must be approximately greater than 0.95 p.u. for generator buses and 0.9 p.u. for others. At the stage of planning, the active power transfer margin may be used as a proximity measure of voltage collapse.

Modeling is a useful tool for decision making in the project phases. In the case of reinforced concrete structures, we must be able to locate representative parameters in order to optimize costs. This paper assesses the impact of the column arrangement and building height. The variation of the costs for the foundation and two floor interaxis are discussed. The results are assessed by the ratio of cost per square meter executed. The optimization of the geometry of the building is determined by the interaxis distances and the selected structural thickness. In the case studied the arrangement of the pillars in a 6x6 meters grid using 4 heights offers the best economic results.
