An Algebraic Model of Gas-Hydraulic Network of Mechanisms with Electric Drive in the Problem of Thermal Power Plant Auxiliaries Optimization

Abstract

A mathematical model is presented for a multipath hydraulic network of centrifugal mechanisms in thermal power plant auxiliary systems. An optimal control problem is formulated for centrifugal mechanisms operation to the network. For a homogeneous system of three centrifugal mechanisms joined in series and parallel, conditions of efficient distribution of capacity among the mechanisms are studied.
