Pinch analysis techniques have been developed for a wide range of applications ranging from process plant thermal or water integration to financial and supply chain management. This paper presents a new application of pinch analysis. A scenario is assumed wherein energy sector planning takes...

This work presents algebraic targeting techniques for energy sector planning with carbon (CO2) emission and land availability constraints. In general, it is desirable to maximize the use of low- or zero-carbon energy sources to reduce CO2 emission. However, such technologies are either more...
