“…A textbook on chemical process optimization using GAMS® has been published recently [56]. There are a very large number of research papers as well as book chapters where GAMS® was employed [8,31,57,58,59,74,92]. Indeed, several chemical processes have been optimized using GAMS® such as energy and power networks [31,59], separation using distillation columns [58,74], conceptual design based on superstructures [57], pollution control [8], ammonia synthesis using reactor [92].…”

In the present paper several aspects of the simulation of complex chemical equilibrium are discussed, using two research and educational software: gPROMS® and GAMS®. All computations are performed to boost the understanding of chemical engineering students, undergraduate, and graduate, of the complex concepts behind both thermo‐chemical processes and optimization techniques. Four case studies with varying levels of difficulty illustrate the proposed methodology and robustness of the modeling systems: Catalytic steam reforming of bio‐ethanol at high temperatures. Partial oxidation of naphthalene using either air or pure oxygen. Supercritical water gasification of Microalga Spirulina. Dry and mixed reforming of glucose.Our results indicate that the use of optimization tools offered bygPROMS® and GAMS®software are useful and efficient tools to calculate the chemical and phase equilibrium by minimizing the Gibbs energy, provided that adequate initial guesses are used. Furthermore, the computational time spent in the calculations was generally quite short. The obtained equilibrium compositions are benchmarked using the ubiquitous process simulators: ASPEN‐Plus® and/or ASPEN‐Hysys® as well as data available from the open literature. We obtained excellent agreement between our results and their counterpart obtained using ASPEN‐Plus®. In the last part of this manuscript, authors share their experience in supervising senior term projects on the subject. A questionnaire was used to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback from the nine students involved in the projects. Their responses to a questionnaire focused on the chemical engineering thermodynamics theory as well as software usage during their investigations. This questionnaire demonstrates that students can overcome mathematical complexity by either using mathematical software or equivalent modeling systems (e.g., Matlab®, Mathematica©, gPROMS®, and GAMS®).

“…Therefore, RET is the vital, and best choice for electricity at hilly telecom tower location instead of DG. There are many software tools available for the designing and modeling of hybrid energy system (Kumar et al, 2022; Sharma and Sood, 2022a) but from the recent study concluded HOMER is the most efficient, and reliable tool for the cost minimization (Sharma and Sood, 2022b; Sharma et al, 2022b), environmental emission minimization (Sharma and Sood, 2022b; Sharma et al, 2022b) and sensitivity analysis (Sharma and Sood, 2021) for the multiple varying factors in hybrid energy system. The main contributions of the author in this research paper are as follow:…”

This research article presents a technoeconomic analysis of an RET-based model for powering a hilly remote area telecom tower in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Using the HOMER software tool with various evolutionary algorithms, the study found that the most feasible configuration was 30 kW of SP panels, 10 kW of DG units, 20 batteries, and 10 units of converter with a minimum energy cost value of 0.256 $/kWh. The energy cost values from various evolutionary techniques such as HHO, WOA, PSO, and GA were also observed to be competitive. After policy intervention and government subsidies, the cost of energy reduced to 0.167 $/kWh, which is significantly less compared to the diesel-powered system. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was carried out for changes in solar radiations, ambient temperature, and diesel fuel prices to determine the best optimal configuration for the study.

Economic development relies on access to electrical energy, which is crucial for society’s growth. However, power shortages are challenging due to non-renewable energy depletion, unregulated use, and a lack of new energy sources. Ethiopia’s Debre Markos distribution network experiences over 800 h of power outages annually, causing financial losses and resource waste on diesel generators (DGs) for backup use. To tackle these concerns, the present study suggests a hybrid power generation system, which combines solar and biogas resources, and integrates Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) technologies into the system. The study also thoroughly analyzes the current and anticipated demand connected to the distribution network using a backward/forward sweep load flow analysis method. The results indicate that the total power loss has reached its absolute maximum, and the voltage profiles of the networks have dropped below the minimal numerical values recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards (i.e., 0.95–1.025 p.u.). After reviewing the current distribution network’s operation, additional steps were taken to improve its effectiveness, using metaheuristic optimization techniques to account for various objective functions and constraints. In the results section, it is demonstrated that the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) outperforms other metaheuristic optimization techniques across three important objective functions: financial, reliability, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This comparison is based on the capability of the natural selection whale optimization algorithm (NSWOA) to achieve the best possible values for four significant metrics: Cost of Energy (COE), Net Present Cost (NPC), Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP), and GHG Emissions. The NSWOA achieved optimal values for these metrics, namely 0.0812 €/kWh, 3.0017 × 106 €, 0.00875, and 7.3679 × 106 kg reduced, respectively. This is attributable to their thorough economic, reliability, and environmental evaluation. Finally, the forward/backward sweep load flow analysis employed during the proposed system’s integration significantly reduced the impact of new energy resources on the distribution network. This was evident in the reduction of total power losses from 470.78 to 18.54 kW and voltage deviation from 6.95 to 0.35 p.u., as well as the voltage profile of the distribution system being swung between 1 and 1.0234 p.u., which now comply with the standards set by the IEEE. Besides, a comparison of the cost and GHG emission efficiency of the proposed hybrid system with existing (grid + DGs) and alternative (only DGs) scenarios was done. The findings showed that, among the scenarios examined, the proposed system is the most economical and produces the least amount of GHG emissions.
