Energy Management for Heat Intensive Production Plants using Mixed Integer Optimization

摘要

An energy management system for heat intensive production plants is presented. Thernaim is to minimize energy costs with respect to additional constraints concerningrnworkshop temperature and air ventilation. The system realizes a dynamic load balance,rnwhich prevents unneeded load peaks. The problem is solved by means of mixed integerrnoptimization. Therefore, the production plant is modeled mathematically. The energyrnmanagement system provides considerable savings in energy costs.
