Summary

 LCS has quantitatively evaluated various low carbon technologies [1], [2]. The "low-carbon technology design and evaluation platform" (hereinafter the platform) is the basis of our information system infrastructure. The platforms have been used for quantitative evaluation of various low-carbon technologies as analysis functions [3]-[6].

 In process design, a design type function that can solve the multivariate optimization problem is also necessary. To solve the multivariate optimization problem, it is necessary to create a mathematical model from the target process and to use dedicated software called Solver. However, in the model creation process where Solver can interpret the target process, much time is required for programming using a dedicated language.
 In consideration of this fact, the design-type function added this time is configured so that the mathematical model of the target process already created by the platform can be used. As a result of verifying this design type function, we found the following.
 1) No need for programming and excellent operability
 2) It can be solved with both linear problem and nonlinear problem.
 3) Excel Solver can be used in the process design model.
