Summary Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
The paper describes an approach to the optimal management of hydrogen networks in refineries, focusing on the problems of reconfiguration that appears when, due to plant failures, the production of the hydrogen generating units is suddenly decreased. The problem is formulated in terms of optimization as a MINLP one. Also, a formulation to implement the optimum is presented that gives a practical solution to the inherent uncertainly and changing dynamics associated to the process.
