Abstract

For the post-combustion CO 2 capture (PCC) system, the time variability of the economic performance is key to the production process of such an actual industrial process. However, the performance index used by the conventional model predictive control (MPC) does not reflect the economy of the production process, so the economic cost function is used instead of the traditional performance index to measure the economy of the production process. In this paper, a complete dynamic model of the PCC system is constructed in Aspen Plus Dynamics. The effectiveness of the model is verified by dynamic testing; subspace identification is carried out using experimental data, a state-space equation between flue gas flow and lean solvent flow; the CO 2 capture rate is obtained; and dynamic models and control algorithm models of accused objects are established in Matlab/Simulink. Under the background of the environmental protection policy, an economic model predictive control (EMPC) strategy is proposed to manipulate the PCC system through seeking the optimal function of the economic performance, and the system is guaranteed to operate under the economic optimal and excellent quality of the MPC control strategy. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
