Method for operating energy-saving idle facilities on production lines considering breakdowns

Energy-saving method for technogenic waste processing

Dumps of a mining-metallurgical complex of post-Soviet Republics have accumulated a huge amount of technogenic waste products. Out of them, Kazakhstan alone has preserved about 20 billion tons. In the field of technogenic waste treatment, there is still no technical solution that leads it to be a profitable process. Recent global trends prompted scientists to focus on developing energy-saving a...

Saving Energy in Production Using Mobile Services

High energy costs have led to an increasing relevance of energyefficiency over the last few years. While new equipment is mostly designed to be energy-efficient, feasible action is needed to decrease energy consumption of existing equipment on the shop-floor level. As interventions there rely on dependable information and its use at the right time and place, involvement of ICT systems and parti...

Different Possible Ways for Saving Energy in the Cement Production

In terms of absolute consumption, the cement industry occupies a front position in the ranks of energy consumed industries. The total energy costs (thermal and electrical) make up about 30 to 40 percent of the total production costs of cement. This is why efficient energy utilization has always been a matter of priority in the cement industry. Cement manufactures requires very high temperatures...

An Approach for Energy Saving in the Compound Feed Production

A Feedback Control Method for Addressing the Production Scheduling Problem by Considering Energy Consumption and Makespan

Due to various factors of uncertainty within production, the key performance indicators connected to production plans are difficult to fulfil. This problem becomes especially serious as emission regulations are enforced, which discourage manufacturers from high emission output and high energy consumption. Thus, this paper proposes a feedback control method for the production scheduling problem ...
