This new research paper introduces a grey-box approach for constructing generic industrial thermal profiles that characterize hot utility requirements across industrial processes.
π Data-driven and pinch-based methods are combined to create generic thermal profiles.
π Clustering process is mainly based on highest process temperatures.
π Generic thermal profiles are analyzed by hot utility contribution.
π The results are useful in large-scale or preliminary assessments.
