Computable examples of the application of “input-output” models of energy production systems

Abstract

Four computable examples concerning the application of “input-output” models of energy production systems (Chap. 4) have been presented. In the case of industrial energy systems the elaborated “input-output” model of energy economy of ironworks has been applied for the analysis of the influence of changes concerning replacement of heating furnace water cooling by the evaporative cooling. The computable example connected with integrated oxy-fuel combustion power plant has been used for the analysis of influence of the purity of oxygen on external supplies of energy and raw materials. The last computable example is devoted to system analysis of energy economy of office building. All these computable examples are strictly connected with algorithms of “input-output” models presented in Chap. 4.
