What is Energy System Design (ESD)?

Certify your green products Decarbonize your energy system at minimized cost: The Energy System Design (ESD) program balances decarbonization targets with customer-specific economical and technical boundary conditions. It provides solutions to support the transformation towards a robust, efficient, and sustainable energy system.

What is site energy?

You’re probably already familiar with site energy, which is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills. Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time.

Why is site energy important?

Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time. Site energy may be delivered to a building in one of two forms: primary or secondary energy. Primary energy is the raw fuel that is burned to create heat and electricity, such as natural gas or fuel oil used in onsite generation.

What are the components of energy-saving product design?

Methodology Since it is a crucial issue to consider energy-saving at the early stage of product design, the new energy-saving product design approach consists of four major components, i.e. modularity analysis, energy factor, axiomatic design, and multi-objective decision making.

How do you design an energy system?

The design of energy systems requires the selection of technologies and the definition of their rated power or capacity in a way that all existing loads can be covered. Simultaneously, the plant’s future dispatch needs to be considered, e.g., to account for volatile solar and wind power generation or fluctuating energy demands and commodity prices.

Is on-site energy generation a viable alternative?

On-site energy generation technologies such as cogeneration systems, with higher resource consumption efficiencies, provide a feasible alternative to address these concerns. However in practice, on-site energy system configuration is done without taking into account the dynamic nature of the manufacturing plant’s energy demand.
