Design methodology for energy efficiency of production system

摘要

Nowadays, it is important to reduce the energy consumption of production system because of the deficit of energy resource, the growing concern of the carbon emission and environment impact in industrial production. Therefore, to achieve the long term goal "sustainable manufacturing", energy efficiency has to be considered as the central priority in the design process of the production system. In this paper, the principal objective is to present the issues of the integration of "energy efficiency" in the design process and then to propose a design methodology to redesign the production system with a high "energy efficiency", while maintaining the initial manufacturing process. First of all, an analysis of existing production system is realized in order to identify the opportunities of saving energy in production system. From that, the strategies to reduce energy consumption of production system will be identified and proposed. Then, these scenarios of redesign will be tested to obtain the information of the best scenario of redesign.
