Examples

In the following three examples, we demonstrate how to use ExerPy to perform exergy analysis on different systems modelled in Ebsilon Professional, Aspen Plus and TESPy.

Combined Cycle Power Plant

Combined cycle power plant that integrates gas and steam turbine cycles to produce 300 MW of net electrical power and 100 MW of thermal power.

Combined Cycle Power Plant

Air Source Heatpump

High-temperature air source heat pump that heats compressed water from 70 °C to 120 °C.

CGAM Process

In the following example, we demonstrate how to use ExerPy to perform exergy analysis providing the results of system modelled with another software in a JSON format.

Custom JSON Example

{
    "components": {
        ...
    },
    "connections": {
        ...
    },
    "ambient_conditions": {
        ...
    },
    "settings": {
        ...
}

Custom JSON Example

In the following example, we demonstrate how to extend the exergy analysis with exergoeconomic analysis to allocate costs to exergy streams.

JSON Exergoeconomic Example

Exergoeconomic analysis with manually defined component investment costs and input stream specific costs.
