OMSEM project has proved its capability to develop a method and computation models with the purpose of improving the management of industrial thermal and electric power plants. This is achieved through the simultaneous minimization of an objective function, which takes into account of economic, environment, energy factors, plant equipment statuses and availability costs, and the optimum allocation of electric and thermal loads to the available units is found.
Further, the implemented models have been proven to respond to external demands in a way which is congruent with the real plant costs, consumption and emissions, when the optimization is constrained.
OMSEM system effectiveness, as limited to the experimental points on disposal, has found out in reducing costs, which is the main purpose of this research, and also in saving energy and emissions, either augmenting in general the plant total efficiency or reducing energy losses.
Looking at the whole data, we can say that OMSEM system reduces the cost of produced energy. The few percentage points of economic saving mean an earning from thousands to millions Euro per year.
OMSEM results are affected by cost weight factors, which can be set as a function of plant management strategies. A different result should be found by giving a major weight to the energy and environment factors in the objective function.
