Case Study of a Conservation Power Plant Concept in a Metallurgical Works

This paper considers application of the Conservation Power Plant concept to integrated resource planning and control in metallurgical works. A structure of local energy saving measures is proposed. The researchers have reviewed optimization issues of combined heat and power plants where secondary power resources of metal manufacturing are recovered to upgrade fuel usage efficiency. It serves as the terminal point where the effect of energy saving is realized in decreasing the total consumption of the natural gas as the primary resource. Similar approach can be used for energy saving organization in large-scale industrial complexes.
