E|Melt: Simulation-Driven Analysis of Energy Efficiency Measures inside Non-Ferrous Melting and Die-Casting Plants

Abstract:

This paper describes the necessary measures to create an adaptable material flow and energy simulation for melting and die-casting plants. Based on two reference plants, the structural and intralogistical differences are emphasized and examined. These differences specify the necessary extensions to a previously created simulation environment in order to be able to analyze variable plant configurations. Special emphasis is put on the creation of a simplified energy model that allows the modeling of melting furnaces based on rudimentary datasets. Using the adaptable material flow and energy simulation two measures and their effects on the in-plant energy efficiency as well as productivity are analyzed. The simulation results suggest energy savings potentials for both plants and measures to increase productivity for one of the analyzed plants.
