Complexes like iron (II)-triazoles exhibit spin crossover behavior at ambient temperature and are often considered for possible application. In previous studies, we implemented complexes of this type into polymer nanofibers and first polymer-based optical waveguide sensor systems. In our current study, we synthesized complexes of this type, implemented them into polymers and obtained composites through drop casting and doctor blading. We present that a certain combination of polymer and complex can lead to composites with high potential for optical devices. For this purpose, we used two different complexes [Fe(atrz)3](2 ns)2 and [Fe(atrz)3]Cl1.5(BF4)0.5 with different polymers for each composite. We show through transmission measurements and UV/VIS spectroscopy that the optical properties of these composite materials can reversibly change due to the spin crossover effect.
Compounds that exhibit the spin crossover effect are known to show a change of spin states through external stimuli. This reversible switching of spin states is accompanied by a change of the properties of the compound. Complexes, like iron (II)-triazole complexes, that exhibit this behavior at ambient temperature are often discussed for potential applications. In previous studies we synthesized iron (II)-triazole complexes and implemented them into electrospun nanofibers. We used Mössbauer spectroscopy in first studies to prove a successful implementation with maintaining spin crossover properties. Further studies from us showed that it is possible to use different electrospinning methods to either do a implementation or a deposition of the synthesized solid SCO material into or onto the polymer nanofibers. We now used a solvent in which both, the used iron (II)-triazole complex [Fe(atrz)3](2 ns)2 and three different polymers (Polyacrylonitrile, Polymethylmethacrylate and Polyvinylpyrrolidone), are soluble. This shall lead to a higher homogeneous distribution of the complex along the nanofibers. Mössbauer spectroscopy and other measurements are therefore in use to show a successful implementation without any significant changes to the complex.
The miniaturized Mössbauer-spectrometer (MIMOS II), originally devised by Göstar Klingelhöfer, is further developed by the Renz group at the Leibniz University Hanover in cooperation with the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. A new processing unit with a two-dimensional (2D) data acquisition was developed by M. Jahns. The advantage of this data acquisition is that no thresholds need to be set before the measurement. The energy of each photon is determined and stored with the velocity of the drive. After the measurement, the relevant area can be selected for the Mössbauer spectrum. Now we have expanded the evaluation unit with a power supply for a MIMOS drive and a MIMOS PIN detector. So we have a very compact MIMOS transmissions measurement setup. With this setup it is possible to process the signals of two detectors serially. Currently we are working on a parallel signal processing.
We present a novel long short-term memory (LSTM) approach for time-series prediction of the sand demand which arises from preparing the sand moulds for the iron casting process of a foundry. With our approach, we contribute to qualify LSTM and its combination with feedback-corrected optimal scheduling for industrial processes.
The sand is produced in an energy intensive mixing process which is controlled by optimal scheduling. The optimal scheduling is solved for a fixed prediction horizon. One major influencing factor is the sand demand, which is highly disturbed, for example due to production interruptions. The causes of production interruptions are in general physically unknown. We assume that information about the future behavior of the sand demand is included in current and past process data. Therefore, we choose LSTM networks for predicting the time-series of the sand demand.
The sand demand prediction is performed by our multi model approach. This approach outperforms the currently used naive estimation, even when predicting far into the future. Our LSTM based prediction approach can forecast the sand demand with a conformity up to 38 % and a mean value accuracy of approximately 99%. Simulating the optimal scheduling with sand demand prediction leads to an improvement in energy savings of approximately 1.1% compared to the naive estimation. The application of our novel approach at the real production plant of a foundry proves the simulation results and verifies the capability of our approach.
Techno-economic analysis that allocate costs to the energy flows of energy systems are helpful to understand the formation of costs within processes and to increase the cost efficiency. For the economic evaluation, the usefulness or quality of the energy is of great importance. In exergy-based methods, this is considered by allocating costs to the exergy instead of energy. As exergy represents the ability of performing work, it is often named the useful part of energy. In contrast, the anergy, the part of energy, which cannot perform work, is often assumed to be not useful.
However, heat flows as used e.g. in domestic heating are always a mixture of a relative small portion of exergy and a big portion of anergy. Although of lower quality, the anergy is obviously useful for these applications. The question is, whether it makes sense to differentiate between exergy and anergy and take both properties into account for the economic evaluation.
To answer this question, a new methodical concept based on the definition of an anergy-exergy cost ratio is compared to the commonly applied approaches of considering either energy or exergy as the basis for economic evaluation. These three different approaches for the economic analysis of thermal energy systems are applied to an exemplary heating system with thermal storages. It is shown that the results of the techno-economic analysis can be improved by giving anergy an economic value and that the proposed anergy-cost ratio allows a flexible adaptation of the evaluation depending on the economic constraints of a system.
A new type of rotary compressor, called “rotary-chamber compressor”, consists of two interlocking rotors with 4 wings each, that perform non-uniform rotary movements. Both rotors have the same direction of rotation, while one rotor is accelerating, the other rotor is retarding. After surpassing a specific mark, the sequence changes and the leading rotor begins to retard and vice versa. Due to the resulting relative phase difference, the volume between the two wings is changing periodically, which allows pulsating working chambers. The technology was first introduced by its founder Jürgen Schukey in 1987. Since then, no further development on this machine is known to us except our own. In this contribution, a study on the kinematics of the rotary-chamber-compressor is presented. Initial studies have shown that changes in the kinematics of the rotors will have a direct influence on the thermodynamical variables, which, if optimized, can lead to an increased performance of the machine. Therefore, a mathematical model has been developed to obtain the performance parameters from different kinematic concepts by using numerical CFD analysis. Furthermore, additional optimization possibilities will be listed and discussed.
We present a feedback-corrected optimal scheduling approach to reduce the demand of electrical energy of batch processes, exemplified at the sand preparation in foundry. The main energy driver in the exemplary foundry is the idle time of the batch-wise working sand mixers. In this novel approach, we use linear integer programming to minimize the demand of energy of the sand mixers by scheduling the batches in real-time. For the optimization we use a physical model of the sand preparation, which takes dwell-times of the processes as dead-time systems into account. In this paper, we present the steps to make the optimal scheduling approach applicable for the production process. The application at the real production plant proves the performance of the suggested approach. Compared to the conventional control, the feedback-corrected optimal scheduling approach leads to an reduction in energy consumption of approximately 6.5 % without modifying the process or the aggregates.
This paper presents a novel approach for modelling the energy consumption of the coupled parallel moulding sand mixers of a foundry as an optimal control problem. The minimization of energy consumption is optimized by scheduling the mixing processes in a linear integer programming scheme. The sand flow through the foundry’s sand preparation is characterized by a physical model. This model considers the sand demand of the moulding machine as disturbance, the stored sand masses in the mixer hoppers and machine hoppers, respectively. The novel approach of handling dwell-times for dosing, mixing and transport processes using dead-time systems and constraint pushing allows the application of a linear model. The formulation of the optimal control problem aims at real-time application as model predictive control at the production plant. Initial application results indicate an improvement in energy consumption of approximately 8%.
The increasing variety of combinations of different building technology components offers a high potential for energy and cost savings in today's buildings. However, in most cases, this potential is not yet fully exploited due to the lack of intelligent supervisory control systems that are required to manage the complexity of the resulting overall systems. In this article, we present the implementation of a mixed-integer nonlinear model predictive control approach as a smart realtime building energy management system. The presented methodology is based on a forward-looking optimization of the overall energy costs. It takes into account energy demand forecasts and varying electricity market prices. We achieve real-time capability of the controller by applying a decomposition approach, which approximates the optimal solution of the underlying mixed-integer optimal control problem by convexification and rounding of the relaxed solution. The quality of the suboptimal solution is evaluated by comparison with the globally optimal solution obtained by the dynamic programming method. Based on a real-world scenario, we demonstrate that utilization of the real-time capable mixedinteger nonlinear model predictive control approach in a building control system leads to savings of 16% in the total operating costs and 13% in primary energy compared to the state-of-the-art control strategy without any loss of comfort for the residents.
