Post-combustion capture, driven by real renewable generation
A solar PV array and a wind turbine each compute their own electrical output from cited physical models, a calculator block genuinely sums and drives an electrolyzer's power draw, and the resulting green hydrogen reacts captured CO2 to synthetic natural gas.
The actual dark-mode canvas: a solar array and a wind turbine feed a calculator block that sums their computed power into the electrolyzer, whose hydrogen output reacts a captured-CO2 stream to synthetic natural gas.
The renewable generation is simulated, not typed in
Solar and wind power come from cited physical models (PVWatts; a Betz-limited actuator-disk curve) evaluated at a real operating point, and a calculator block re-converges the flowsheet until the electrolyzer's draw is self-consistent with what the array and turbine actually produce.

PVWatts-model DC power from plane-of-array irradiance and cell temperature — a real source, not a typed-in number.
Actuator-disk power curve (cubic in wind speed, Betz-limited), staged cut-in/rated/cut-out.
Water electrolysis at a specified electrical power and stack efficiency — H2O to H2 + 1/2 O2.
Combines multiple streams into one, closing the mass and energy balance.
A specified per-pass conversion on a key component — the shortcut counterpart to the equilibrium and kinetic reactors.
Stream live irradiance, wind speed and electrolyzer stack current from your site's OPC-UA gateway into this flowsheet's twin comparison — the simulated power output is checked against the real array in real time.
