An effective modeling technique is proposed for determining baseline energy consumption in the industry. A CHP plant is considered in the study that was subjected to a retrofit, which consisted of the implementation of some energy-saving measures. This study aims to recreate the post-retrofit energy consumption and production of the system in...

The objective of this research is to improve the hydrogen production and total profit of a real Steam Reforming plant. Given the impossibility of tuning the real factory to optimize its operation, we propose modelling the plant using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Particularly, we combine a set of independent ANNs into a single model. Each...

Despite the industrial sector accounts for about a quarter of total final consumption worldwide and great efforts have been carried out to reduce its energy use in the last decades, there are still substantial oppor tunities to improve industrial energy efficiency. Among those opportunities, energy management sys tems (EMSs) are one of the most...
