Overall aim
|
The overall scientific and technical aim of the ENERGY-SMARTOPS project is to take a pivotal role in demonstrations of creative ideas for energy savings in large scale industrial sites making the best possible use of measurements from all plant subsystems: process, utilities, mechanical equipment and electrical equipment. The project integrates in-depth understanding of the operational issues with analysis of measurements and first-principles physical knowledge to invent and develop tools that will be deployed in the field in case studies with the transmission operator partners. Three specific research objectives are:

Delivery
The research objectives will be delivered in projects to be undertaken by 13 ESRs. Each ESR contract is 36 months and the nominal start date is month 4. Therefore technical work will nominally be complete by month 40. The supervisors will ensure the work is fully disseminated by month 48. The reason for nominal is because there is always uncertainty in the hiring process.
