Smart Energy Management System for
Industrial Cooling Solutions
Energy Intelligence in Industrial Buildings
EISKIG optimises industrial cooling systems in practice
The goal is to achieve at least 15% energy savings in selected cooling supply systems.
TP 1: System Understanding and Conception
- Collection of technical and organizational requirements of the application partners and
- Definition of system boundaries
TP 2: Dateninfrastruktur
- Connection of the real systems of the application partners via IoT gateways
- Establishment of a central data processing platform for forecasting, simulation and optimization applications
TP 3: Data Infrastructure
- Analysis of the acquired time series data
- Application of statistical methods and machine learning methods
- Goal: To gain deeper insights into the dependence of the energy system on external influences and their prognosis
TP 4: Digital twins
- Simulative mapping of the selected energy systems based on the recorded data
- Testing of the optimization of plant operation on simulation models
TP 5: Operational optimization
- Optimization of real plant operation using the findings from SP 3 (Data Analysis) and SP 4 (Digital Twins)
TP 6: Scaling
- Development of software modules to simplify the application and transfer of optimization processes to other companies
Shared Vision: AI-Driven Optimization of Industrial Cooling Systems
All partners share the common objective of lowering energy costs and CO₂ emissions. EISKIG aims to develop a self-operating system that leverages AI-based optimization techniques to independently analyze and enhance the operational strategy of industrial cooling systems. The system is intended to boost energy efficiency and flexibility, reduce implementation complexity, and promote greater user acceptance.
