I have completed my Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering at Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China. I'm currently working on the steady-state and dynamic modeling of amine-based post-combustion carbon capture process as well as the control of such process. Different from the other related work, I'm simulating a real-size process for treating the flue gas of a 550MWe Supercritical PC plant, which require multiple parallel trains carbon capture process. The goal of this research will be developing advanced controllers to solve a series of control problems such as carbon capture rate control, flue gas distribution control, flooding approach control and so on.

This work focuses on the development of both steady-state and dynamic models for an monoethanolamine (MEA)-based CO2 capture process for a commercial-scale supercritical pulverized coal (PC) power plant, using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Plus Dynamics®. The dynamic model also facilitates the design of controllers for both traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and advanced controllers, such as linear model predictive control (LMPC), nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) and H∞ robust control.
