Energy and Heat Balance Optimization for CHP Plants with CO2 Capture: Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis
This thesis investigates how the integration of post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) systems would affect combined heat and power (CHP) plant performance, using DWSIM, an open- source process simulation tool. A case study on a CHP plant in southern Sweden was conducted, with models simulated for both baseline and CCS-integrated operation. DWSIM proved accurate within a relative error of under 3 %
