Experimental Validation
of the Methodology
“Scientific research is a search after truth, and it is only
after discovery that the question of applicability can be
usefully considered.”
Henri Moissan (Prof. Henri Moissan (28 Sep 1852—20
Feb 1907) was a French chemist and Nobel Laureate
(1906). The quote comes from a lecture held by Prof.
Henri Moissan at the Royal Institution of Great Britain,
May 28,1897.)
This chapter summarizes the results of the practical test of the simulation-based
optimization methodology. Section 6.1 presents the use case in detail while
section 6.2 comprises the creation of the simulation model. Section 6.3 contains
the process description and evaluation of the optimization experiments using different data resolutions as well as the application of the methodology using mean
values. The evaluation of the results is followed by a financial evaluation of the
potential energy savings in section 6.3.6 as well as a list of recommendations
for action for the practical partner in section 6.4. Chapter 6 concludes with a
critical statement on the general suitability of the methodology for practical use
and an evaluation of the methodology with regard to the concept objectives and
requirements defined in section 5.1.
