Description: | Emission abatement technology |
See also Abatement Property Reference for a detailed list of properties for this class of object.
This class may be used to model pollution abatement technologies such as:
These technologies all apply post-combustion and work to scrub one or more Emission types from the combustion gases.
The following are the main features of this class:
Where more than one Abatement object is associated with a Generator the simulator will optimize the choice of Abatement technology using integer programming. Thus this class can be used to determine the optimal abatement technology as part of the production simulation.
The existence of an Abatement technology is controlled by the Units flag. It's availability can be controlled with the Units Out property.
To start using the class:
Optionally define costs such as Abatement Cost, Running Cost and/or VO&M Charge. Costs of consumables such as powdered-activated carbon are modelled using properties of the Consumables collection.
Abatement limits can be set via the following constraints:
The property Operating Hours indicates when an Abatement object is operating at the optimal solution.
The class reports the Gross Emissions, Abatement, Net Emissions and Efficiency. Costs are reported as the Abatement Cost and Total Cost properties.
The value of emissions abated is also reported in the Abatement Value property.
