Optimization of Municipal Energy Systems with the Use of an Intelligent Analytical System

Abstract

The paper presents the analytical and consultancy system which aims at a complex, comprehensive, multi-criteria energy performance analysis of a given building or a group of buildings and at making a recommendation for an energy source with regard to CO2 emission and investment costs determined on the basis of indicators included in the knowledge databases. The analytical and consultancy system employs advanced energy performance computer simulations of buildings as well as innovative analytical algorithms worked out and contributed by the authors, including those based on the knowledge base developed on the grounds of performance data from selected buildings of various types situated in a dozen or so cities of different population in Poland.

An Innovative Decision Support System to Improve the Energy Efficiency of Buildings in Urban Areas

“…In their work, they described a method for selecting the best thermal insulation and thermo-modernization of buildings for a potential investor [22]. They also wrote about the possibility of using multi-criteria analysis for the energy performance of a building or group of buildings in an article by Ziembicki et al In addition to energy performance, the authors recommend an energy source concerning CO 2 emissions and predetermined construction investment costs [23]. They conducted their own research based on data on the energy efficiency of various types of buildings located in Polish cities.…”

Efficient Energy Management for the Smart Sustainable City Multifloor Manufacturing Clusters: A Formalization of the Water Supply System Operation Conditions Based on Monitoring Water Consumption Profiles

“…Improving the energy efficiency of the UISs within the CMFMCs is related to the identification and consideration of important factors that affect the operating conditions in order to use them in the search for optimal management decisions [18]. An actual direction for improving the efficiency of the UISs operation is the development of systems for monitoring and managing its facilities in real-time [24,27,[37][38][39][40]. The studies deal with the collection, transmission, and timely display of information on technological parameters of the UISs facilities in the control center [40,41], as well as with the development of principles for smart management of the operation conditions of the facilities, taking into account the monitoring data [27,29,31,34,37,[41][42][43].…”

“…The UISs operation of the CMFMC, such as electricity, heat, gas supply, centralized water supply and drainage systems, is influenced by climatic, territorial, and social factors, as well as the citizens' lifestyles [2,24]. The energy efficiency of UISs is determined by a set of internal technological and external factors that in a certain way affect the efficiency of their condition and functioning.…”

“…The energy efficiency of UISs is determined by a set of internal technological and external factors that in a certain way affect the efficiency of their condition and functioning. Ensuring the efficient energy consumption of such UISs within the CMFMC requires taking into account the features and operating conditions of its facilities, the efficiency of the organization of the technological process, as well as the development of effective ways to identify hidden reserves for saving natural and energy resources [21,24]. The UISs are designed to meet consumer demand for a particular service, which is formed under the influence of various external factors.…”
