This book introduces the issues and problems that arise when
implementing smart energy management for sustainable manufacturing in
the automotive manufacturing industry and the analytical tools and
applications to deal with them. It uses a number of illustrative
examples to explain energy management in automotive manufacturing, which
involves most types of manufacturing technology and various levels of
energy consumption.
It demonstrates how analytical tools can help improve energy management
processes, including forecasting, consumption, and performance analysis,
emerging new technology identification as well as investment decisions
for establishing smart energy consumption practices.
It also details practical energy management systems, making it a
valuable resource for professionals involved in real energy management
processes, and allowing readers to implement the procedures and
applications presented.
