A chemical plant layout for the production of syngas from renewable power, H2O and biogas, is presented to ensure a steady productivity of syngas with a constant H2-to-CO ratio under time-dependent electricity provision. An electrolyzer supplies H2 to the reverse water-gas shift reactor. The system compensates for a drop in electricity supply by gradually operating a tri-reforming reactor, fed with pure O2 directly from the electrolyzer or from an intermediate generic buffering device. After the introduction of modeling assumptions and governing equations, suitable reactor parameters are identified. Finally, two optimal control problems are investigated, where computationally expensive model evaluations are lifted

Power-to-Syngas:一种超现实最优控制方法
提出了一种用于从可再生能源、H 2 O 和沼气生产合成气的化工厂布局,以确保在随时间变化的电力供应下具有恒定 H 2 -CO 比的合成气的稳定生产力。电解槽向逆水煤气变换反应器供应H 2。该系统通过逐渐运行三重重整反应器来补偿电力供应的下降,该反应器直接从电解槽或中间通用缓冲装置中加入纯 O 2。在引入建模假设和控制方程之后,确定了合适的反应器参数。最后,研究了两个最优控制问题,其中取消了计算成本高的模型评估
