Energieflexibilisierung von Kälteversorgungssystemen

Abstract

Abstract In order to reduce the energy-related operating costs of industrial cooling supply systems, demand side management becomes more and more economically attractive in the face of increasing electricity price fluctuations. However, the realization of this potential usually fails due to implementation. In order to reduce the impediments to implementation, this paper presents a rule-based model predictive approach to operational optimization based on thermodynamic relationships and logical decision criteria. The optimization approach is finally validated on a simulation model as well as on a real climate room and leads to realized operating cost savings of up to 21 %.
