SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 – Optimisation process Go yellow, be green Today, master controllers are expected to do far more than just take care of demand-oriented compressor operation. Efficiency is playing an ever-increasing role – the days of rigid, inflexible rules are over. Fixed switching sequences can no longer be implemented in an energy-optimised manner to meet ever-changing demand requirements, since every fixed rule in an algorithm limits the controller's flexibility and reduces its degree of freedom to act. Analyse and learn The simulation-based optimisation process analyses compressed...
