ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis4 Productive and Dissipative Components  An energy system has two types of components:  Productive components  Dissipative components  Productive components provide:  Functional Products  Resources (Fuel) to other process  Residues and waste disposals  Dissipative components are required to:  Reduce or eliminate the environment impact of residues and wastes  Maintain the operation conditions of the system, from a physical and/or a legal point of view  Improve the efficiency of the system

15. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis15 The Cost Model The exergy costing rules can be written as:  The cost of product is equal to the cost of the resources required to obtain it, plus the cost of the residues generated:  The cost of each flow making up the product is proportional to its exergy: [exergy cost (kW)] [exergoeconomic cost (€/h)]  The cost of the external resources is known:

16. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis16 Residue Cost Distribution  The cost of a residue must be allocated to one or several productive components:  To determine the values of C ri we must define the distribution cost ratios (RCD) as:  Therefore, the cost of the residues allocated to each productive unit, is given by: The Residue Cost Distribution ratios represent the portion of the cost of the residue dissipated in the r-th component which has been generated in the i-th productive component. i j r s r i

17. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis17 Costing Equations  The unit production cost could be obtained by solving the following system of lineal equations: is a (n x n) matrix whose elements are the unit consumption values, defined as: is a (n x n) matrix whose elements are the ratios of the residues generated per production unit: is a (n x 1) vector whose elements are the cost of the external resources consumed in each component per production unit:

18. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis18 Cost Decomposition  The unit exergy cost of the product could be decomposed into two parts: represents the unit production cost due to irreversibilities of the components: represents the unit production cost due to the residues:

25. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis25 Thermoeconomic Diagnosis  It is based on the comparison of two thermodynamic states  Obtains a set of common indexes for every component of the system, whose could be used in combination with other parameters to provide useful information for the plant operation.  Relates the variation of the irreversibilities and resources consumption to the variation of the efficiency of each component. The objective of the thermoeconomic diagnosis is the location and quantification of the anomalies causing the reduction of the system efficiency.

26. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis26 Malfunction and Dysfunction  The irreversibility increase of a component could be decomposed into two contributions:  The irreversibility increase due to a variation of the efficiency of the component itself (MALFUNCTION).  The variation of the production objective of the component due to the malfunctions of others components (DYSFUNCTION)  The sum of the malfunctions caused by a component is called MALFUNCTION COST: DF ji represents the irreversibility increase of the component j-th caused by a malfunction in the i-th component DF k0 represents the irreversibility increase of the component k-th caused by a variation of the outputs (final products or residues)

27. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis27 The Fuel Impact Formula There are two approaches to allocate the fuel impact of a system  The cost of the internal malfunctions are valuated by the production cost and they include the residues variation effect.  The costs of the internal malfunctions are valuated by the production cost due only to irreversibilities. The cost of the residues variation is considered as another contribution to the fuel impact.

33. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis33 Productive and Dissipative Structures  It has been shown there is not only a productive structure but a dissipative structure  The dissipative structure describes how the process of residues and wastes formation is. It could be as complex as the productive one.  The productive and dissipative structures are not independent but they are interrelated. A malfunction in a component cause both an increase of the irreversibilities of the components and an increase of the residues.  Therefore, to make a correct thermoeconomic diagnosis we must define both good productive and dissipative structures.

34. ECOS2007 June 26, 2007Guidelines to develop software for thermoeconomic analysis34  This paper should be understood as a functional description for developing software for thermoeconomic analysis of energy systems.  It includes the following new contributions:  A FP table builder algorithm.  A cost decomposition methodology.  Fuel Impact analysis of residues and wastes  From now on the problem of thermoeconomic diagnosis should not be to compute cost indexes but analyzing the results.  A demo program, called TAESS, is available from the authors at http://www.exergoecology.com to illustrate the ideas presented in the paper. http://www.exergoecology.com Conclusions
