Mathematical modelling, ANN, batteries and DSM techniques applied to a medium scale milk industry

The resources for electrical energy are depleting and hence the gap between the supply and the demand is continuously increasing. Under such circumstances, the only option left is optimal utilization of available energy resources. The paper presents a generalized mathematical model which gives solution for minimizing the total operating cost of the industry subject to the constraints. The work presented in this paper also gives the results of application of neural network, Demand Side Management (DSM) techniques and batteries applied to a medium scale milk industrial consumer in India. The work also reveals reduction in Maximum Demand (MD), improvement in load factor, and saving in the energy bill.
