Description
Book SynopsisThe key measure to mitigate climate change is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Hereby, energy-intensive industry plays a key role due to its substantial greenhouse gas emissions. A substantial share of these greenhouse gas emissions is caused by energy supply. Thus, energy supply needs to be more efficient in industry.
In large industrial sites, on-site energy systems often supply production systems. Both systems thereby optimize their operation with respect to an objective such as operational cost or revenue. This thesis provides optimization methods for these large industrial sites. The optimization methods reflect two relationships between both systems: Both systems can either follow the same objective or system-specific objectives. The same objective exists, e.g., if both systems belong to one company. System-specific objectives exist, e.g., if both systems belong to different companies.
For the case that both systems follow the same objective, a method is
