What is SPENCEŽ?
KEMA has developed a software package called SPENCEŽ for simulation of processes for energy conversion and electricity production. SPENCEŽ is intended to support thermodynamic and chemical engineers employed within electricity companies or industry. SPENCEŽ supports you in: - system and feasibility studies
- basic design
- design reviews
- process optimization
- upgrading and re-powering
- exergy analyses
- technical and functional specifications
- development of on-line conditioning monitoring modules.
SPENCEŽ is a static flowsheet simulator based on thermodynamics to determine the technical data and merits of energy conversion systems, including: - efficiency
- environmental impact
- cost/benefits.
Developed in 1982, the program has been continuously improved during 20 years of research activities in improving the processes of electricity production. The program is extremely flexible, missing equipment can easily be added to calculations. In design calculation with the program the design values can be stored and used again in part load calculation. Results are presented in tables and in graphs. Also, the process data can be exported to the graphical interface, which allows plotting flow sheets on large plotters. In the program, libraries are included for gases, water, steam, fuels and solids. For water-steam the Industrial Standard IAPWS-IF97 for the thermodynamic properties and supplementary equations for other properties are applied. For gases non-linear behavior can be considered.
