Modelling
Modelling energy systems can be a cost effective approach to help designers, engineers, and operators develop better understanding of their equipment and processes, leading to improvements in efficiencies and reduction of emissions.
Different computational models exist for the different size scales that occur in energy systems. Computational chemistry models can be used to examine how individual atoms and molecules interact and can be applied; for example, in designing new materials for fuel cells. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is often used to look at individual pieces of equipment. A CFD model of a utility boiler can help an operator understand sources of pollutants like NOx and adjust the operating conditions to reduce its formation. At a broader scale, process models are used to examine the interaction of many different pieces of equipment working together, such as in the process of refining oil into petroleum.
Application of models can be cost effective as it allows engineers to pre-test modifications and optimisations before making real and possibly expensive changes to their equipment and processes. Models also allow designers to try out entirely new processes and equipment concepts, reducing the need to build and test many different prototypes.
