A grey-box approach for constructing generic industrial thermal profiles

New research paper by the University of Geneva and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts

This new research paper introduces a grey-box approach for constructing generic industrial thermal profiles that characterize hot utility requirements across industrial processes.

πŸ‘‰ Data-driven and pinch-based methods are combined to create generic thermal profiles.
πŸ‘‰ Clustering process is mainly based on highest process temperatures.
πŸ‘‰ Generic thermal profiles are analyzed by hot utility contribution.
πŸ‘‰ The results are useful in large-scale or preliminary assessments.
