Mathematical modelling of DSM and batteries applied to a medium scale milk industry

The natural resources for electrical energy are depleting and hence the gap between the supply and the demand is continuously increasing. Under such circumstances, the option left is optimal utilization of available energy resources. The paper presents a generalized mathematical model to minimize the total operating cost of the industry subjected to the constraints through Demand Side Management techniques and batteries applied to a medium scale milk industrial consumer in India. The work also indicates the improvement in load factor, reduction in Maximum Demand and also the consumer gets saving in the energy bill due to lowering of Maximum Demand.
