Abstract:
Compressed air is a widely employed energy source in modern manufacturing, accounting for a large percentage of plant electrical energy usage. However, the energy efficiency of such systems can be particularly low. Accurate models are essential in optimising the energy efficiency of pneumatic systems through model based design and control techniques. This study therefore aims to explore the dynamics, and in particular consumption characteristics, of pneumatic production processes with a focus on the development of scientific process models for industrial electro-pneumatic systems.
