The Dongying-Linyi Crude Oil Pipeline, transporting the crude oil from Shengli Oilfield to the outside, is one of the most important pipelines in East China. It is of great significance for saving energy, reducing emissions and improving the economy by optimizing pipeline operation. By analyzing the daily operation reports and monthly energy consumption reports, the energy consumption situation of the pipeline is revealed. Then the crude oil from Shengli Oilfield is collected, and its physical property is tested and researched. Based on the topological structure, the technological process and the operation philosophy of the pipeline, the mathematical models for the optimal operation and the energy consumption are built and the corresponding algorithm is introduced. With the models and the algorithms mentioned above, a computer software is developed for the operation simulation and optimization of the pipeline. Combining with practice, three energy-saving measures for the pipeline are analyzed, including reduction of oil heating temperature, operation matching with peak-valley electricity price and operation matching with the combination of flow rates in a planned operation period. In addition, these energy-saving measures are evaluated by the software with several examples. It turns out that: the first measure can considerably reduce the energy consumption and the energy consumption cost of the pipeline; the second could reduce the energy consumption cost of the pipeline a lot, while may make the energy consumption go higher a little; the third could slightly lower the equivalent energy consumption and the energy cost at the same time, but the effect of it is not obvious.

The challenges of increasing the energy efficiency of the economy as a whole and of certain production sectors in particular are a priority both in our country and abroad. As part of the energy policy of the Russian Federation to reduce the specific energy intensity of enterprises in the oil transportation system, Transneft PJSC developed and implements the energy saving and energy efficiency improvement Program. The application of energy-saving technologies allowed the company to significantly reduce operating costs and emissions of harmful substances. At the same time, further reduction of energy costs is complicated for objective reasons. The objective of this article is to present additional methods to improve the energy efficiency of oil transportation by the example of the organizational structure of Transneft. Possibilities to reduce energy costs in the organization of the operating services, planning and execution of work to eliminate defects and preparatory work for the scheduled shutdown of the pipeline, the use of pumping equipment, including pumps with variable speed drive, the use of various pipelines layouts, changing the volume of oil entering the pipeline system and increase its viscosity.

Abstract This paper analyzes the energy saving effect and optimal operation of the integrated park type energy system. The park type integrated energy system includes photovoltaic power generation system, ground source heat pump system, solar air conditioning system, regenerative electric boiler system and solar hot water system and so on. The energy saving benefit calculation model of each subsystem is established, and according to the operation history data of each subsystem, the calculation results of each subsystem are analyzed. It shows that: The energy saving income of photovoltaic power generation system is 734,200 yuan/year. The main revenue comes from the second and third quarters, during which it should pay attention to the maintenance of photovoltaic modules to ensure the maximum energy saving benefit. The energy saving income of ground source heat pump system in summer is 155,900 yuan/year, and the energy saving effect is not significant. It can cooperate with traditional units for cooling in summer. The heating in winter in the park is provided by ground source heat pump system, regenerative electric boiler system and solar energy air conditioning system. Its energy saving benefit is 3.995 million yuan/year which is the main source of energy saving income in the park, with remarkable energy saving effect.

Reasonable distribution of cooling load between chiller and ice tank is the key to realize the economical and energy-saving operation of ice-storage air-conditioning (ISAC) system. A multi-objective optimization model based on improved firefly algorithm (IFA) was established in this study to fully exploit the energy-saving potential and economic benefit of the ISAC system. The proposed model took the partial load rate of each chiller and the cooling ratio of the ice tank as optimization variables, and the lowest energy consumption loss rate and the lowest operating cost of the ISAC system were calculated. Chaotic logic self-mapping was used to initialize population to avoid falling into local optimum, and Cauchy mutation was used to increase the population’s diversity to improve the algorithm’s global search ability. The experimental results show that compared with the operation strategy based on constant proportion, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and firefly algorithm (FA), the optimal operation strategy based on IFA can achieve more significant energy-saving and economic benefits. Meanwhile, the convergence accuracy and stability of the algorithm are significantly improved. Practical application: The optimized operation strategy of the ice-storage air-conditioning system can reduce energy loss and operating costs. The traditional operation strategies have the problems of low optimization precision and poor optimization effect. Therefore, this study presents an optimal operation strategy based on IFA. The convergence accuracy and stability of the algorithm are increased after the algorithm is improved. The operation strategy can get the maximum energy-saving effect and economic benefit of the ISAC system.

This paper mainly studied the operation strategy for subway VAC system during transition seasons. Two modes including WF-AC (Whole Fresh air- Air Conditioning) mode and B/E-V (Back/Exhausted fan-Ventilation) mode were selected based on energy saving principle. In order to decide the optimal operation mode, the calculation method of “switching temperature” was proposed. The main influencing factors of the switching condition include indoor cooling load, COP of the chilled-water-system, temperature difference of the supply air, efficiency of fan and the resistance of air duct. Also, the transfer temperature diagram is provided based on proposed calculation method, which is suitable for engineering use. The aim of this study is to regulate the operation mode and to promote energy saving in subway station.

The demand for cooling and air-conditioning is growing due to increasing demand for comfort level and cooling loads. The chilled-water systems (chillers) are one of the energy consuming appliances that consume large amount of energy in buildings. Under these circumstances, energy management system carried out to achieve the objective of using the minimum possible energy, while maintaining the comfort levels and the production rates in factories. This paper proposes an optimal operation for the chillers with the partial load ratio (PLR) and partial storage system (PSS) based on Fuzzy Inference System (FIS). Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of technique for energy saving of the Screw Chillers in large building as compared with ON-OFF control system.

The multi-type pump configuration equipped with one invert scheme is suitable for the system to operate over a wide range of flow and head at different time periods. Its optimization may be the result of relatively low regulation capability. As a result, a synchronous switch control model was adopted to overcome this defect and to save further energy operation of the pump system. The hardware of synchronous switch control could be achieved by a simple logic control circuit which could be easily programmable and a phase discriminator control circuit which could eliminate the impact current. The software of synchronous switch control could be achieved by the minimum shaft power scheduling model group based on every type pump as variable-speed pump could calculate the optimal operation condition and the minimum switch number could ensure the optimal control regulation scheme. In conclusion, the single invert with synchronous switch control technology was used in an energy-saving reconstruction project of a circulating pump station; it could achieve the gain almost as same as the two invert scheme with the payback time almost the same as the single invert with pony pump scheme. Such is a particularly high quality and reasonable price scheme.
