Abstract: “Conceptual design based on superstructure optimization is a complex task that neither commercial simulators nor dedicated modeling and optimization environments like GAMS, AMPL, and AIMMS are able to perform well by themselves: the first lack interfaces to state-of-the-art solvers, the latter do not provide accurate thermodynamic models. …”
Comments: This paper is directly linked to the presentation given by David KRONE, Erik ESCHE and Jens-Uwe REPKE at the CAPE-OPEN 2019 Annual Meeting. It exemplifies that by using MOSAICmodeling as a modeling environment, there is no need to develop additional code for interfacing GAMS with an external thermopdynamic engine. MOSAICmodeling brings the capability through CAPE-OPEN to get that interfacing working without any code development needed.
