Optimal techniques are actually unused during the design phase of a compressor room. In this article, a novel application of the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) technique is proposed as a tool for sizing and choosing the best configuration of an air compressor room, aiming at improving its energy efficiency. Two optimization problems are presented to cover different case studies. These formulations...
In this work the application of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) techniques is proposed for choosing the optimal topology of an air compressor room, while (i) focusing on energy efficiency and (ii) keeping the input power to the lowest value. Usually the proposal of the best configuration (type of machines, size and number) is driven by the experience of the personnel performing the assessment,...
The paper illustrates the simulation activities going on within the LABAC (laboratory of energy performance of compressed air systems) at the University of Pavia. The scope is to build up a simulator, based on a comprehensive energy model, enabling the end-user both to improve the system efficiency, allowing modifications on the system configuration and/or the use of alternative devices, and to properly...
Digital meters (electricity, gas, water, heating and cooling energy) play a crucial role within the Smart Grid environment. The paper will address the issue of their employment in two ways: i) the different type of counters, each at different stages in their digital implementation, should be able to exploit their computing and communication capabilities to achieve a complete integration of measurements...
