In the manufacturing sector, energy demand is not considered as a manufacturing process variable when devising production schedules. This presents the potential for a large variance in the energy consumption culminating from the summation of individual machine energy demands. If not controlled, this can result in damage to the local power infrastructure. Traditional methods for protecting against...
Understanding the energy dynamics of a manufacturing system is pertinent in minimizing energy usage on the production line. Utilizing this analysis of the complex system dynamics will identify inefficiencies on the production line. This paper expands upon previous research to incorporate the warmup time of each machine in the analysis of the dynamic system. This will help establish an energy baseline,...
This paper explores energy efficient building design for manufacturing plants. Many efforts have been directed into the field of building design optimization concerning building energy performance, but most of the studies focus on residential buildings or public buildings. Very limited research results studying plants buildings have been reported. However, plants buildings have certain unique features...
