20.500.12556/DKUM-91739 Integrated optimization framework for a biomass supply network and steam Rankine cycle The optimization of biomass supply chains is becoming increasingly important, especially for low-density biomass feedstocks that have limited market value and require efficient handling and logistics. This study addresses this issue by proposing an integrated approach to optimize biomass supply chain networks for energy production with the steam Rankine cycle. The approach takes into account the inherent variability of feedstock availability and energy market values, to ensure adaptability to fluctuating conditions. The biomass supply network is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, where the optimization objective is to maximize the economic viability of the system. The optimal configuration of the supply network includes the selection of biomass supply zones and storage facilities, the transportation links, and the optimization of the process variables within the conversion plants, taking into account the variable heat demand. The optimization approach is applied to a hypothetical case study of a relatively small region in Slovenia. The results show the economic viability of biomass utilization with a net present value of almost 300 MEUR, generating about 4 MW of electricity and 65 MW of heat. The uncertainties of the biomass supply, the fluctuations in product prices and the spatial scope of the case study are evaluated in addition. This analysis highlights and discusses the impact of these factors on the economic performance of the biomass supply chain network. copper(II) coordination compounds methylamines crystal structure magnetic properties thermogravimetric analysis baker kristalne strukture magnetne lastnosti termogravimetrična analiza true false true Springer Natur e (Kluwer) Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://link.springer.com/journal/11081 © The Author(s) 2024 Članek v reviji 2025-01-31 10:46:42 2025-01-31 10:46:42 2026-04-02 03:19:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 35 str.
