Demand Side Optimisation

MaREI’s ‘Demand Side Optimisation’ capabilities focus on the optimisation of energy usage and processes on the demand side to better match renewable energy production and consumption, with a particular focus on industrial applications. The ‘Demand Side Optimisation’ team work closely with the ‘Energy Integration & Storage’ and ‘Renewable Energy Forecasting’ teams to provide a holistic and integrated approach to the optimisation and advancement of MaREI’s Renewable Energy Management objectives. Research activities cover the optimisation of processes using energy consumption data and optimised analysis techniques, together with the minimisation of areas of inefficiency across energy systems using fault detection and diagnostics, and through the integration of different data sources.

The integration, storage and management of renewable energy has significant potential for enabling end users, including larger multinational companies, to meet their corporate targets for reduced CO₂ emissions, while the integration of energy data with production data in the manufacturing sector has the potential for greatly increased efficiencies.
