Description
Summary:Carbon-constrained energy planning can be facilitated by the use of systematic tools such as carbon emissions pinch analysis (CEPA). This methodology is based on previously developed process integration approaches such as heat or mass pinch analysis. It can be used to determine optimal targets for systems comprised of energy sources and demands, given energy, and carbon balance considerations. Source-demand matches that satisfy the optimal targets can also be determined using CEPA. This article provides a brief review of the development of CEPA and outlines key steps for the graphical variant of this technique. A simple case study is also solved to illustrate the methodology. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
