Abstract

Agent-based modeling is a promising approach in industrial symbiosis (IS) simulation due to its bottom-up approach. However, the role of implementing feasible technologies in agent-based modeling of IS has been underexplored. In this paper, an agent-based model was developed to optimize the economic benefits of IS stakeholders in a case study region. Feasible technologies were integrated into the proposed model to generate additional economic profit and enhance circularity. The model was implemented on a case study involving a chicken farm, cow farm, dairy, edible oil plant, and a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant. Technologies including anaerobic digestion, organic Rankine cycle, heat pump, and membrane separation were employed to produce biogas, recover waste heat, and purify wastewater. While the fossil-based energy consumed by industries reduced, all the waste streams could be recovered. The techno-economic specifications of these technologies had a significant impact on the symbiotic relationships.

基于能源的工业共生网络中技术实施的代理模拟

基于代理的建模因其自下而上的方法而成为工业共生（IS）模拟的一种有前途的方法。然而，在基于代理的工业共生建模中实施可行技术的作用还未得到充分探索。本文开发了一个基于代理的模型，以优化案例研究区域中 IS 利益相关者的经济效益。可行的技术被整合到拟议的模型中，以产生额外的经济利润并增强循环性。该模型是在一个案例研究中实施的，涉及养鸡场、奶牛场、奶制品厂、食用油厂和热电联产（CHP）厂。采用了厌氧消化、有机郎肯循环、热泵和膜分离等技术来生产沼气、回收废热和净化废水。在工业消耗的化石能源减少的同时，所有废物流均可回收。这些技术的技术经济规格对共生关系产生了重大影响。
