The main advantage of the approach presented in this paper compared to available modeling approaches is the ability to describe the transient steam consumption. Thus, the new approach can be used for the dynamic optimization of batch operations with respect to the energy efficiency. The bottom-up method was implemented by modeling particular unit operations (UOs) in a case study plant, and validation was accomplished with direct measurements on both UO and building level. The principle of the bottom-up model is a detailed energy balance of each particular UO for which process parameter measurements are necessary as input data. These were extracted from the measurements archive of the case study plant for a period of two months. Process data from almost 1000 sensors installed in ca. 100 UOs were acquired, transformed into a time-series with common time basis, and used as an input data for the model. Special attention was paid to model the losses of the UOs because in earlier studies it was found that these are significant. Loss models were developed in the form of empirical parametric equations considering the losses due to radiation and the internal losses in the heating/cooling system due to inefficient operation. The parameters of the loss models were fitted, based on the developed methodology, to steam measurements of 4 UOs and consequently integrated into the overall bottom-up model for modeling other UOs as well. The energy usage efficiency of the UOs was inferred and the optimization spots were identified. The results in the case study plant have indicated that the energy savings potential for particular UOs with low steam-usage efficiency can be easily identified and serve as a good hint for the overall plant energy auditing and steam consumption optimization.
