REDUCING ENERGY COSTS, MANAGING DECARBONIZED SYSTEMS
Measure consumption by component, create new scenarios
The energy impact of production systems is an important issue because it concerns both environmental and economic challenges. Monitoring and reducing this impact protects the environment and limits global warming, but also reduces energy costs for businesses and improves their competitiveness.
Arts et Métiers numerous manufacturing processes—metallurgy, plastics processing, machining, assembly—and a mesocenter for computing called CASSIOPE.
The novelty of this project consists of:
- systematically measuring energy consumption directly by machine, by cell, or across an entire building in order to understand, optimize, and reduce energy consumption (energy efficiency and frugality are drivers of growth in industry). The carbon impact can be deduced by integrating the energy mix of electricity in France.
- to create new scenarios implementing renewable energy systems (photovoltaic, fuel cell, electrolyzer) coupled with improved energy efficiency of the production system.
How?
The year 2024 will be devoted to instrumentation and analysis of energy consumption data from the CASSIOPE mesocenterArts et Métiers high-performance computing.
The year 2025 will be devoted to optimizing the energy efficiency of ventilation/blower systems and fuel cells.
For all campuses, an energy monitoring system for buildings will be implemented in 2024, 2025, and 2026, with an initial demonstration model to be built in 2023 on the Lille campus.
Similarly, the technology cells will be equipped with energy monitoring systems.
Some campuses will be equipped with clean, carbon-free energy sources (solar panels, hydrogen storage, electrolysers, fuel cells) with a view to developing self-consumption of green energy from the production system (2024-2026, Aix-en-Provence).

DETAILS
EcoHPC (Cassiopée)*
High-performance computing (HPC) enabled by contemporary modeling and calculation codes leads to high energy consumption by supercomputers. The aim of this project is to equip the school's computing center and design a predictive model of energy consumption based on the strategy chosen to perform the calculations. This model will be used both to reduce energy consumption at the school and as an educational demonstration tool for students.
