Energy Utilization Modeling and Simulation for Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Processes

摘要：

　　Pulp and paper manufacturing has been known to be one the largest industrial sector consumers of energy.The need energy cost saving is compelling due to the increasing volatility of energy prices in today’s marketplace.The challenge of maintaining high product quality while simultaneously reducing production costs can often be met through investments in energy efficiency,which can include the purchase of energy efficient technologies and the implementation of plant-wide energy efficiency practices.In this paper,a technical framework of system modeling technique is introduced to model energy conversion and utilization throughout the pulp and paper manufacturing system and sub-systems.A well-established SysML-based process model is translated to a Discrete-Event Simulation model.By simulating the system’s response to the changing energy price and market demands,diverse what-if scenarios of system energy utilization can be analyzed in terms of reduction of the total energy cost.
