Plate-form(E)3

Plate-form(E)3 project: "Digital Platform for calculation and optimization of Energy Efficiency and Environmental at different scales for industry (Component / Process / Plant / Planning)" should contribute to the optimization of energy efficiency and environmental industry and territories, considering the thermal aspects but also materials and integrating the system dynamics. This project submitted to the ANR represents a first step of a global platform, following the group's reflections programmatic 8 "Industry and Agriculture" of the ANCRE. The vision of this group is summarized in this sentence from the report ANCRE "The proposed program responds to a triple need: to evaluate the flow of energy and matter, evaluate the contribution of an added improved component or improved technology energy efficiency of a process or plant, and finally have a repository shared between all stakeholders (academia, industry, communities, etc.). Plate-form(E)3 will be concretized in a numerical tool to help design and decision based on cost/benefit, the costs and benefits can be economic and/or environmental. This tool for researchers, engineers from industry, energy consultants, engineers, local authorities will assess the impact of new technologies on a large scale, and to propose an energy integration across the territory seeking potential interconnections between industries (Territory scale ), to optimize process efficiency (plant/process scale) and help the optimal design of new technologies (component level). The platform will be based on existing tools, with defined methodologies, software and platforms. For this objective, an analysis study will be made (Tasks 1 and 2). Development tools and the missing tools will be realized in the project to complete the gaps identified (Task 3). Taking into account the needs of users, close links will be through for example with industry and local authority (Task 2), as a part of the overall project. Today this partnership represents the "designers" of this tool but will be extended to users in the following steps. They will be consulted to ensure the adequacy of the platform and its functionality to their needs. We can already mention the following entities as being interested in participating in the overall construction of the platform: • industrials such as Lafarge, INEOS, Arcelor Mittal who want to reduce their energy and environmental impact, • communities like Grand Lyon who wishes to develop their territory at best in terms of energy and environmental, • engineering companies such as Technip using this tool that could take into account environmental plant energy before its amendment or its implementation. This ANR project partnership includes key stakeholders in the field in France and abroad. Methodological aspects and software for the process are investigated within the framework of the ANR project CERES-2 by EDF, Armines, and the LEMTA IFPEN. The partners cover the areas of energy efficiency technologies (EDF), optimization methodology and modeling efficiency (Armines and LEMTA), processes, technical-economic and environmental impact (IFPEN, INDEED). Building efficiency (Plant) reflects the activities of CETIAT. The developed tool aiming to be valued and must willing optimized high performance digital Federation Hermite Charles will bring his expertise on these topics.
