Im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) geförderten Projekts „ETA-Fabrik“ am Institut für Produktionsmanagement, Technologie und Werkzeugmaschinen (PTW) der Technischen Universität Darmstadt konnte die Energieeffizienz von Motorspindeln als Hauptenergieverbraucher von Werkzeugmaschinen durch Einsatz der Synchronreluktanztechnologie gesteigert werden. In der Konsequenz ergeben sich weitere Energieeinsparpotenziale und produktionstechnische Vorteile durch eine gesamtenergetische Betrachtung der Werkzeugmaschine mit Kühlsystem und intelligentem Spindelthermomanagement.   As part of the ‘ETA-Fabrik’ project funded by the BMWi, the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) of the TU Darmstadt has used synchronous reluctance drives to increase the energy efficiency of motor spindles as main energy consumers of machine tools. Subsequently, new opportunities for energy savings and advantages for the manufacturing process arise by taking a holistic view on machine tools including the cooling system, proposing an intelligent spindle thermal management.

The optimization of rail operation for improving energy efficiency plays an important role for the current and future market of rail freight services and helps rail compete with other transport modes. This paper presents a feedforward simulation-based model that performs speed profile optimization together with minor rescheduling actions. The model’s purpose is to provide railway operators and infrastructure managers with energy-efficient solutions that are tailored especially for freight trains. This work starts from the assumption that freight train characteristics are completely defined only a few hours before actual departure; therefore, small specific feedforward adjustments that do not affect the surrounding operation can still be considered. The model was tested in a numerical example. The example clearly shows how the optimized solutions can be evaluated with reference to energy saved and robustness within the rail traffic. The evaluation is based on real data from the North–South corridor crossing Switzerland from Germany to Italy.

The article is concerned with the subject of energy consumption in construction; it also discusses problems related to creation of sustainable built environment and its links to the natural environment, with special emphasis placed on its links to climate. Selected contemporary European development directions and trends in solutions using solar energy in buildings have been discussed in the paper, as well as various projects, concepts and realisations, mostly related to residential development. The collected examples present the experiences of previous eras as well as their continuation contemporary realisations based on the possibilities of using innovative technologies in architecture within the framework of actions undertaken in European countries. They are to be found in various scales referring to whole districts, housing estates and housing complexes as well as individual buildings. They refer both to new development and to transformations of the existing infrastructure in the process of its restoration.

Due to the fast growth of energy consumption in modern industry especially the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) society, many attentions are focused on better energy efficient solutions. In this paper, we provide an implementation perspective survey on employed optical network technologies’ power consumption features. We investigate major techniques of current optical network and corresponding energy consumptions. Some promising techniques are proposed including burst switching, multiple granularity traffic grooming, unified control plane and Green PON to achieve energy efficiency.

AbstractBased on EU guidelines and national development plans, energy efficient process management has been slowly implemented in Latvian regions in the context of the Directive 2012/27/EU putting forward two binding indicative national energy efficiency goals for Latvia: (1) to achieve 1.5 % of energy savings delivered to final consumers every year, and (2) to renovate 3 % of the state-owned buildings annually. The aim of the paper is to reflect the management system of energy efficient processes in public and residential buildings in Latvian littoral regions of the Baltic Sea, which can be an important factor for achieving the goals of the Directive. The paper presents the results of the research on energy efficient processes in public and residential buildings in Latvian littoral regions of the Baltic Sea in order to determine the existing challenges. Methods applied in the research are data collection, grouping, analysis and comparison, studies of regulatory documents, as well as statistical data collection and analysis. Contribution of the research is the improvement of energy efficient solutions in public and residential buildings in littoral regions of the Baltic Sea by using the estimated energy efficient processes. The results of the research are of international importance and can be applied not only in public and residential buildings in littoral regions of the Baltic Sea but also in other regions with similar climate or energy efficient process management problems in order to improve the selection of criteria of energy efficient solutions and renovation.
