Abstract:
1. A system to optimize energy recovery for a process having a plurality of resource streams each having at least one operational attribute, the system comprising: an energy utility modeling computer having a processor, and memory coupled to the processor to store software and database records therein; a database stored in the memory of the energy modeling computer and having a plurality of sets of values each separately defining a potential range of values for at least one operational attribute for each of a plurality of hot resource streams and a plurality of sets of values each separately defining a potential range of values for at least one operational attribute for each of a plurality of cold resource streams; and energy utility modeling program product stored in the memory of the energy utility modeling computer to optimize energy recovery for the process, the program product including instructions that when executed by the energy utility modeling computer, cause the computer to perform the operations of:
