In dieser Masterarbeit werden zwei Strategien zur Anomalieerkennung in Lastgängen ausgewertet. Dazu nutzt Strategie 1 das künstliche neuronale Netzwerk LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) mit Datenzeitraum von einem Monat (1M) bzw. drei Monaten (3M) trainiert und Strategie 2 das Glättungsverfahren PEWMA (Probalistic Exponential Weighted Moving Average) zur Schätzung des zu untersuchenden Lastgangmonats. Durch den Vergleich mit Originallastgangdaten werden Residuen bzw. summierte Residuen der Sequenzlängen zwei, vier, sechs ...

Driven by both regulatory and monetary interests the development of energy monitoring systems has been accelerated in recent years. Thus, a large amount of data is collected and stored in huge databases. This is a decisive step towards sustainable production systems since you can’t improve what you don’t know. This paper aims to use the datasets currently available and to combine databases to gather additional information on production systems, in particular energy flows. Therefore, an algorithm has been developed ...

This present study focuses on analysing the most efficient utility energy supply structure in terms of primary energy efficiency, carbon emissions and energy costs. In the German dairy industry, separate conversion with gas fired steam boiler, and cooling with ammonia chillers are the-state-of-the-art technologies. It is attractive due to its robustness and low investment costs. But given the ongoing energy transition to renewable energy, opportunities to reduce emissions will become increasingly important. There are ...

In this paper, typical process chains of metal processing/gear manufacturing are examined according to the pinch method with regard to their potential for heat recovery and their suitability for heat pump applications. The focus is on machine tools and parts washing machines as fluctuating heat sources and sinks. Heat sources at a low temperature level, such as the cooling of machine tools, are becoming increasingly important in contrast to conventional fossil waste heat sources due to the electrification of energy ...

Prerequisite for hot water recovery in the dairy and beverage industry is the use of heat storage, such as stratified tanks. Total Site Heat Integration enables the targeting of heat recovery potential, the concrete identification of suitable sinks and source profiles and the dimensioning of intermediate circuits and storages. For a cost and energy efficient storage, the aim to maintain stratification by suitable thermocline control management. Dynamic simulation enables a reliable estimation of energy savings and ...

Prerequisite for an efficient cooling energy system is the knowledge and the optimal combination of different operating conditions of individual compression and free cooling chillers. The performance of cooling systems depends on its part load performance and its condensing temperature, which are often unknown. Recorded energy data remains unused and manufacturers' data significantly differs from the real performance. For this purpose, manufacturer and real data are combined and continuously adapted to form partial ...

This study applies the Total Site Heat Integration method, in conjunction with a detailed process and utility model, to investigate three methods to increase the energy efficiency of the utility supply system for milk powder production. Sequentially explored opportunities are: (1) increasing boiler efficiency through condensing economisers, (2) waste heat recovery from the chiller unit, and (3) Combined Heat and Power (CHP) for electricity production. The basis for the analysis is the anticipated future milk powder ...

The electrification of industrial energy demand is essential for effective climate protection and a successful energy transition. In production systems with fluctuating heating and cooling demands, heat pumps can make a significant contribution to electrification and increased efficiency in a demand-oriented production with automated standby operation. In order to dimension a suitable heat pump storage system, well-founded statistical information about the production system is required. For the creation of stochastic ...

The purpose of this study is to highlight the energy saving potentials of a batch retort sterilization process operated by steam and to develop concepts for improving its energy efficiency. By using the methodical approach of the Onion Diagram and the recovery of low grade heat sources, four comprehensive improved energy efficiency concepts have been developed. Two concepts increase the initial product temperature resulting in lower transient steam consumption rates and a decreased energy demand. The other two options ...
