Optimization of the Industrial Energy Mix Using the Simplex Algorithm: Energy Optimization and Task Scheduling in an Electrochemical Company - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book focuses on optimizing energy consumption costs within an industrial complex that relies on three distinct energy sources: industrial electricity, natural gas, and solar power. Before implementing any optimization strategies, the study begins with a comprehensive audit of the company’s existing energy system. This crucial first step involves collecting detailed data categorized by energy source, specific equipment or production tools, and end-use applications such as heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation. By analyzing a full year of operational data, the audit precisely identifies the energy consumption and associated costs for each piece of equipment. With a dual objective of enhancing both energy efficiency and economic performance, the book then applies the Simplex algorithm. This linear programming method is used to resolve the optimal energy mix and allocate machine hours effectively. The resolution follows a two-phase technique, tackling the energy allocation problem first, followed by the scheduling of machine operations.
