EnerMan – A Framework for Energy Efficient Manufacturing Systems

Industrial processes take up a considerable portion of the total energy consumed. This imposes challenges on society for two reasons: First, high energy consumption brings a high carbon footprint, as energy consumption could be more perfectly carbon neutral. Second, it strains the electrical grid, which is already more strained than ever due to the increased…
