Abstract:
An open-source planning tool for the evaluation district cooling systems is developed within project INDIGO. The tool is based on optimisation model consisting of a defined set of components in a district cooling (DC) system. The approach links up the whole energy chain from consumption to resources achieve an optimal solution. The tool will enable assessment on effects of single components on a system level and provide data for comparison from energy efficiency, economic feasibility and the climate impact point of view. Life cycle assessment (LCA) framework will be utilised as a method for both economic feasibility and climate impact evaluation. This paper reviews the related projects and positions INDIGO planning tool in this context.

Abstract:
The main goal of energy-efficient manufacturing is to generate products with maximum value-added at minimum energy consumption. To this end, in metal cutting processes, it is necessary to reduce the specific cutting energy while, at the same time, precision requirements have to be ensured. Precision is critical in metal cutting processes because they often constitute the final stages of metalworking chains. This paper presents a method for the planning of energy-efficient machining processes based on numerical simulations. It encompasses two levels of planning flexibility: process adjustment and process design. At the process adjustment level, within the constraints of existing machines and tools, numerical simulations of orthogonal cutting are used to determine cutting parameters for increased energy efficiency. In this case, the model encompasses specific cutting energy, tool wear, chip geometry, and burr shape. These factors determine the energy and resources required for the chip formation itself, tool replacements, cleaning and deburring and with that the overall energy efficiency and precision. In the context of process design, with the ability to select machines, machine configurations, tools, and cooling systems, numerical simulations of cutting processes that incorporate machine and tool conditions are applied in the planning of energy-efficient machining. The method is demonstrated for the case of drilling processes and supported by experimental investigations that identify the main influences on energy efficiency in drilling.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
In this thesis the author investigated the use of a Q-learning based path planning algorithm to investigate how effective it is in saving energy. It is important to pursue any means to save energy in this day and age, due to the excessive exploitation of natural resources and in order to prevent drops in production in industrial environments where less downtime is necessary or other applications where a mobile robot running out of energy can be costly or even disastrous, such as search and rescue operations or dangerous environment navigation. The study was undertaken by implementing a Q-learning based path planning algorithm in several unstructured and unknown environments. A cell decomposition method was used to generate the search space representation of the environments, within which the algorithm operated. The results show that the Q-learning path planner paths on average consumed 3.04% less energy than the A* path planning algorithm, in a square 20% obstacle density environment. The Q-learning path planner consumed on average 5.79% more energy than the least energy paths for the same environment. In the case of rectangular environments, the Q-learning path planning algorithm uses 1.68% less energy, than the A* path algorithm and 3.26 % more energy than the least energy paths. The implication of this study is to highlight the need for the use of learning algorithm in attempting to solve problems whose existing solutions are not learning based, in order to obtain better solutions.

Abstract:
The rapid expansion of mobile services and the emerging demand for multimedia applications have led to an impressive traffic growth. To this end, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) seek to extend their infrastructure by installing more Base Stations (BSs), in an effort to increase the network capacity and meet the pressing traffic demands. Furthermore, to fulfill the escalated demands, Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), which consist of Small Cells (SCs) and the traditional BSs, constitute the new trend of next generation networks. The deployed infrastructure implies a rise in the Capital Expenditures and has a direct impact on the network energy consumption, thus resulting in higher Operational Expenditures. Hence, the investigation of energy efficient solutions will bring down the energy consumption and the network cost. Since the BS is the most power hungry component, the research community has shifted towards the investigation of BS deactivation schemes. These schemes propose that part of the infrastructure can be temporarily switched off, when the traffic is low, while the active BSs extend their coverage to serve the network. Based on a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art, a set of research opportunities were identified. This thesis provides contributions to the field of BS switching off strategies for wireless macro BSs networks and HetNets of single and multiple MNOs by proposing mechanisms that enhance different aspects of the network performance. The BSs deactivation, the innovative trend of infrastructure sharing and the financially driven collaboration among the involved parties of the current and future networks promise significant improvements in terms of energy and cost savings. The main thesis contributions are divided into three parts, described next. The first part of the thesis introduces innovative BS switching off approaches in single-operator environments, where only macro BSs are deployed. The proposed strategies exploit the inherit characteristics of the traffic load pattern (e.g., distribution of the users, traffic volume, etc.) and the distinctive features of the wireless cellular networks (e.g., BSs position, topology, etc.). Theoretical analysis and computer-based simulations show the performance improvement offered by the switching off strategies with respect to energy efficiency. The second part of the thesis explores a different challenge in network planning. The coexistence of multiple MNOs in the same geographical area has motivated a new business model, known as infrastructure sharing. A roaming-based deactivation scheme is proposed, by taking into account the rationality and the conflicting interests of the MNOs. The proposed game theoretic framework enables the MNOs to take individual switching off decisions, thus bypassing potential complicated agreements. The theoretical and simulation results show that our proposal significantly improves the energy efficiency, guaranteeing at the same time the throughput in realistic scenarios. Moreover, the proposed scheme provides higher cost efficiency and fairness compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms, motivating the MNOs to adopt game theoretic strategies. The third part of the thesis focuses on the exploitation of HetNets and the proposal of energy and cost effective strategies in SC networks with multiple MNOs. We effectively address the cost sharing by proposing accurate cost models for the SCs to share the network cost. Taking into account the impact of the traffic on the cost, we propose novel cost sharing policies that provide a fair outcome. In continuation, innovative auction-based schemes within multiobjective optimization framework are introduced for data offloading from the BSs, owned by the MNOs, to the third-party SC networks. The proposed solution captures the conflicting interests of the MNOs and the third-party companies and the obtained results show that the benefit of proposing switching off approaches for HetNets.
La rápida expansión de los servicios móviles y de la demanda emergente de aplicaciones multimedia han dado lugar a un impresionante crecimiento del tráfico. Operadores de redes móviles (MNOs) tratará de extender su infraestructura mediante la instalación de más estaciones base (BSs), en un esfuerzo por aumentar la capacidad de la red y satisfacer las apremiantes demandas de tráfico. Además, para cumplir con las exigencias escalada, redes heterogéneas (HetNets), constituyen la nueva tendencia de las redes de próxima generación. La infraestructura implica un aumento en los gastos de capital y tiene un impacto directo en el consumo de energía a la red, lo que resulta en un aumento de los gastos operacionales. La investigación de soluciones de eficiencia energética hará bajar el consumo de energía y el coste de la red. La comunidad científica se ha desplazado hacia la investigación de los sistemas de desactivación de BSs. Estos esquemas proponen que parte de la infraestructura se puede cdesectivarse, cuando el tráfico es bajo, mientras que los BSs activas extender su cobertura al servicio de la red. Esta tesis ofrece contribuciones al campo de la BSs desconexión para las redes y HetNets con uno o multiples MNOs, proponiendo mecanismos que mejoran diferentes aspectos del rendimiento de la red. La desactivación de BS,s la tendencia innovadora de compartir infraestructura y la colaboración impulsada financieramente entre las partes implicadas de las redes actuales y futuras prometen mejoras significativas en términos de ahorro energético y económico. Las principales contribuciones de tesis se dividen en tres partes, que se describen a continuación. La primera parte de la tesis introduce innovadora apagar enfoques en entornos de un solo operador, donde se despliegan sólo macro BSs. Las estrategias propuestas explotan las características de tráfico (por ejemplo, la distribución de los usuarios, el volumen de tráfico, etc.) y las características distintivas de las redes (por ejemplo, la posición BS, topología, etc.). Análisis teórico y simulaciones muestran la mejora del rendimiento ofrecido por las estrategias de conmutación con respecto a la eficiencia energética. La segunda parte de la tesis explora un reto diferente en la planificación de la red. La coexistencia de múltiples operadores en la misma zona geográfica ha motivado un nuevo modelo de negocio, conocida como la compartición de infraestructura. Se propone un esquema de desactivación basada en itinerancia, teniendo en cuenta la racionalidad y los intereses en conflicto de los operadores de redes móviles. Los resultados teóricos y de simulación muestran que nuestra propuesta mejora significativamente la eficiencia energética, garantizando al mismo tiempo el rendimiento en escenarios realistas. Por otra parte, el esquema propuesto proporciona una mayor eficiencia de costes y la equidad en comparación con los algoritmos del estado de la técnica, motivar al mnos de adoptar estrategias de teoría de juegos. La tercera parte de la tesis se centra en la explotación de HetNets y la propuesta de estrategias eficaces de energía y costes en las redes con múltiples operadores. Nos dirigimos efectivamente la participación en los costos, proponiendo modelos de costos precisos para para compartir el costo de la red. Teniendo en cuenta el impacto del tráfico en el coste, proponemos políticas costos compartidos novedosas que proporcionan un resultado justo. En la continuación, los esquemas basados en subastas innovadoras dentro de marco de optimización multiobjetivo se introducen los datos que descargan de la BS. La solución propuesta recoge los intereses en conflicto de los operadores de redes móviles y las compañías de terceros y los resultados obtenidos muestran que el beneficio de proponer la desconexión se acerca para HetNets

Abstract:
El creixement de la demanda energètica i el continu desenvolupament tecnològic de la societat estan sobrepassant els límits mediambientals del nostre planeta. Sense les mesures adequades, aquesta situació podria derivar en importants problemes mediambientals que causarien danys irreversibles al medi ambient i al benestar de la humanitat. El sector industrial és el principal consumidor energètic, amb una demanda al voltant d’un terç de la global, un aspecte que té un evident efecte negatiu amb l’impacte mediambiental. Per tant, el repte de mitigar el canvi climàtic implicarà millores en l’ús de la energia a la industria, generant grans oportunitats d’estalvi energètic i reduint el seu impacte mediambiental. En aquest sentit, es essencial obtenir informació derivada de la investigació i l’anàlisi científic que permeti desenvolupar solucions focalitzades en la reducció de costos energètics. Aquesta tesis ha tractat les necessitats particulars de la producció de gasos industrials, creant eines basades en l’optimització matemàtica que permeten una presa de decisions operatives més àgil i efectiva i detectant àrees per la millora energètica. Aquestes eines fomenten i avancen cap a una industria més eficient que permeti un futur més sostenible. Aquesta tesis té dos contribucions principals. D’una banda, s’ha desenvolupat una eina d’optimització multiperiod que permet obtenir la configuració d’operació òptima (des del punt de vista econòmic i energètic) d’un procés de producció de gasos industrials, tenint en compte totes les seves variables. Per altra banda, s’utilitza la metodologia de Data Envelopment Analisis per a comparar diferents unitats de producció de gasos industrials, identificant els focus d’ineficiència i fent recomanacions per a resoldre’ls.

Sin las medidas adecuadas, esta situación puede derivar en importantes problemas medioambientales que podrían causar daños irreversibles al medioambiente y al bienestar de la humanidad. El sector industrial es el principal consumidor energético, consumiendo alrededor de un tercio de la demanda energética global, lo que tiene una evidente relación negativa con el impacto ambiental. Por lo tanto, el reto de mitigar el cambio climático implicará mejoras del uso de la energía en la industria, creando grandes oportunidades de ahorro energético y reduciendo su impacto ambiental. Para ello, es esencial obtener información derivada de la investigación y el análisis científico que permita desarrollar soluciones enfocadas a la reducción de costes energéticos.

Estas herramientas fomentan y avanzan hacia una industria más eficiente que permita un futuro más sostenible. Esta tesis tiene dos contribuciones principales. Por un lado, se crea una herramienta de optimización multiperiodo que permite obtener la configuración de operación óptima (desde el punto de vista económico y energético) de un proceso de producción de gases industriales, teniendo en cuenta todas sus variables. Por otro lado, se usa la metodología de Data Envelopment Analysis para comparar diferentes unidades de producción de gases industriales, identificando los focos de ineficiencia y haciendo recomendaciones para resolverlos. En definitiva, esta tesis ofrece un conjunto de herramientas prácticas y efectivas que apoyan el proceso de toma de decisiones en actividades industriales y permiten la identificación de oportunidades de mejora energética.
The growth of energy demand and the continuous technological development of society are surpassing the environmental limits of our planet. Without adequate measures, this situation can lead to serious environmental problems that could cause irreversible damage to the environment and the well-being of humanity. The industrial sector is the largest energy consumer, with about one-third of global energy demand, which has an evident negative relationship with environmental impact. Therefore, the challenge of mitigating climate change will imply improvements in the energy use in industry, creating great opportunities for energy savings and reducing its environmental impact. In this sense, it is essential to obtain information derived from research and scientific analysis that allows developing solutions focused on the reduction of energy costs. This thesis has dealt with the particular needs of the production of industrial gases, by creating tools based on mathematical optimization models that allow much more agile and effective operational decision-making as well as the detection of areas for energy improvement. These tools encourage and move towards a more efficient industry that allow a more sustainable future. Two main contributions are derived from this thesis. On the one hand, it creates a multiperiod optimization tool that allows obtaining the optimal operational configuration (from the economic and energetic points of view) of an industrial gas manufacturing process, taking into account all the variables that affect the system. On the other hand, the Data Envelopment Analysis methodology is used to compare different industrial gas production units, identifying inefficiency sources and making recommendations to adopt the best practices to solve them. Summarizing, this thesis offers a set of practical and effective tools that support the decision making process in industrial activities and allows the identification of opportunities for energy improvement.

Abstract:
This master thesis aims to find a method to separate the household-electricity usage fromheating-electricity and to estimate the thermal performance of buildings using the datasetavailable. The dataset includes electricity consumption of buildings, number of occupants, typeof heating system, climate data (temperature, wind speed etc.) which would be used toestimate the thermal performance of the single-family dwellings. The data set comprises ofhourly data of total electric consumption for those buildings that do not have solar photovoltaicsystem. For households that do have solar PV systems, it is gross PV production, sold and boughtelectricity (hourly based).The challenge in this study was developing a dynamic data driven model that could be applied toa large building dataset. Each building is located in a different climate zone, have a different size,number of inhabitants, and a different type of heating system. The buildings were thus analyzedaccording to the climate zone they were located in. The model gets building id from the userand locates other buildings that are situated in the same climate zone. It then develops energysignature for all these buildings and disintegrates the total consumption into base load, spaceheating load and intermittent load.The model evaluated 162 buildings, out of which 100 buildings had error in the data (all of theenergy consumption values were 0). The 62 buildings left were analyzed, and some buildingsshowed good results whereas some showed strange and absurd results. Overall, the model findsgood results for 45% of the buildings (28 out of 62) whereas the rest of the buildings (34 out of62) show bad results due to error in data such as missing hourly electricity consumption values,cooling load and the behavior of the power meter.The overall heat loss coefficient of the building is found by using regression analysis on thepower signature curve. The slope of the regression line gives the overall heat loss coefficient ofthe building which is a representation of the sum of transmission and ventilation losses and is animportant energy performance characteristic of a building. By comparing the value of heat losscoefficient obtained from the model to the theoretical value of heat loss coefficient calculated,we can see that when data quality is good the model calculates a good estimate of the heat losscoefficient.The results show that the data analysis and machine learning techniques can provide valuableinsights for the building stock. The thermal performance can be evaluated by developing modelssuch as energy signature to estimate overall heat loss factor which has big importance for theenergy performance. These insights can help to understand how the energy efficiency can beimproved in buildings. The overall heat loss factor can be used to find the U-value of the buildingwhich is also an important indicator of the thermal performance of the building.

Abstract:
In modern agriculture, many of the tasks necessary for the smooth operation of a farm can be categorised as dull, dirty, or dangerous. This makes such operations a prime candidate for automation. However, most agricultural properties are vast, often encompassing large areas of undulating off-road terrain with varying traction conditions, making them difficult to traverse for wheeled platforms. Furthermore, the large scale of these properties necessitates careful consideration and management of resources---especially energy or fuel---in the planning of missions, to traverse these large distances and successfully achieve objectives without the risk of stranding the platform out in the field. These challenges need to be addressed before autonomous wheeled mobile robots are ready for deployment in agricultural contexts. This thesis seeks to address some of the key issues that impact the feasibility of deploying wheeled mobile robots in the field, focusing on off-road mobility and the generation of energy-efficient plans for these platforms. In the case of agricultural applications, where the robot may be required to operate near crops and livestock, accurate navigation is of utmost importance, and achieving this in the presence of difficult off-road conditions is a major challenge. The solution proposed in this work is an optimisation-based estimation and control strategy for accurate trajectory tracking in the presence of slip. A novel structured parameter blocking extension to this strategy is developed and tested, and shown to improve state estimation and path tracking performance for traversal over rapidly varying terrain conditions. To address the problem of efficiency, a data-driven energy cost of motion model for an omnidirectional wheeled mobile robot is then developed, and asymptotically optimal sampling-based planners exploiting this model, along with consideration of various terrain features and the configuration of the platform itself, are presented.

Volatile and rising energy prices have made consumers aware of their opportunity costs for energy. Information on the cost-savings of energy efficient features in homes has not been well researched to date and is an option for consumers in the marketplace. The purpose of this thesis is to empirically investigate whether energy efficient features influence the sales price of Austin residential single-family homes. The data for this study comes from the Austin Board of Realtors multiple listing service database. The results should be applicable to other US cities with similar climate. This study examines over 800 single family residences in the Austin, Texas real estate market from 1998-2004. The dataset contains green and non-green rated homes as well as twelve energy features for homes. Log-Linear regression was used to explain the variation of sales price, while factor analysis was used to reduce the number of correlated energy variables into groups of factors. The results of the regression concluded that homes in the Austin metro area with efficient heating ventilation & air conditioning systems and controls sell for 4% more than homes without these features. Pricing of other related energy features commanded a price discount on the home.
(cont.) In conclusion, more efficient heating & ventilation features of new homes in Austin, Texas exert a positive influence on home prices. At least for this market, consumers appear to recognize and pay for this form of expected future energy savings. Key Words: Energy efficiency, energy policy, green homes, green rating, sustainability.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although there are serious hurdles to overcome before green, energy-efficient homes become common; the technological and market-based foundations are already in place to support a shift in standard practice. Many organizations, from the federal government to local non-profits, are driving the transition to more efficient homebuilding practices through research, market-based competition, and tax incentives. However, many builders are resisting the transition, due to the fragmented nature of the building industry and a perceived lack of consumer demand. Because of the nature of the US economy, until American consumers understand green homes and demand builders to build them, green homebuilding will not reach its full potential. If building practices are left unchanged, inefficient homes will continue to cause dire consequences to the world because of their contribution to global climate change.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hoewel daar ernstige struikelblokke bestaan, wat oorkom moet word alvorens groen, energie-doelmatige wonings algemeen raak, is die tegnologiese en markgerigte grondslae reeds gelê om ’n verskuiwing in standaard-praktyk te onderskraag. Verskeie instansies – van die federale regering tot nie-winsgewende organisasies – verleen stukrag deur middel van navorsing, markgerigte mededinging en belastingaansporings aan die oorgang na meer doelmatige gebruike rondom praktyke ten opsigte van die konstruksie van huise. Weens die gefragmenteerde aard van die boubedryf en die waarneembare gebrek aan verbruikersaanvraag staan talle bouers egter die vermelde oorgang teen. Weens die aard van die VSA se ekonomie en totdat Amerikaanse verbruikers groen tuistes kan verkoop en by bouers aandring om hulle op te rig, sal groen woningkonstruksie nie sy volle potensiaal bereik nie. Indien boupraktyke onveranderd gelaat word, sal ondoelmatige wonings as gevolg van hulle bydrae tot globale klimaatsverandering steeds aaklige gevolge vir die wêreld tot gevolg hê.

Abstract:
Automated object manipulation is subject to various constraints, which can be affected by means of suitable motion strategies. With respect to an efficient motion design corresponding strategies are often referred to the manipulator’s energy consumption and performance considering its specified kinematic and dynamic characteristics. Supposing that various automated manufacturing processes use industrial robots and manipulators, an efficient motion design is able to reduce operating costs and CO2 emissions. This contribution is devoted to the simulation based energy optimization of robot motions, considering both the geometric path and the motion law of specific trajectories. In this context, two different levels of trajectory optimization are suggested, exposing the displacement of geometric nodes on the one hand and the variation of velocities and accelerations on the other hand. Due to its simple kinematic structure, the analyses exemplarily are focused on different trajectories of the manipulator Re-PlaLink, a five-bar linkage, which is capable of energy recuperation during regenerative mode. Accordingly, results show a significant energy reduction, establishing high potentials for an increased efficiency of industrial robots.
