摘要
Excessive energy consumption restricts the large-scale application of multi-effect distillation (MED) seawater desalination technology. Although steady-state operation optimization can effectively reduce the short-term steam consumption rate of the MED system, the accumulation of fouling caused the system to increase steam consumption and reduce plant production during long-term operation. For this reason, the feasible region model of operating conditions in the MED system with thermal vapor compressor (MED-TVC) is established, which relates the location of operating points to the operating benefits. The time-varying analysis of feasible region shows that the operating point crossing the feasible region is the reason for the system performance degradation. Finally a full-cycle operating optimization method with time-varying constraints is proposed, which adjusts the operating conditions of the MED-TVC system in the full cycle to obtain the lowest steam consumption in the full cycle and uses the time-varying feasible region constraints to ensure that the optimization results meet the fresh water production requirements. The results show that the full-cycle operating optimization with time-varying constraints can effectively reduce the total motive steam consumption of the MED-TVC system while maintaining the designed fresh water output. © 2021, Editorial Board of CIESC Journal.
