Abstract

Electric energy consumption is always followed by the introduction of diversity scale-up and state-of-the-art equipments in logistic centers. In order to analyze the status and the characteristic of the electric energy consumption quantitatively, and also to evaluate the efficiency of the electric energy, this research aims to develop an estimation model of standard electric energy consumption for logistic centers. The proposed model applies the thermodynamics theory so as to effectively reflect the peculiarity that the temperature in the logistic center influences the electric energy consumption. And the model consists of the energy consumed by the refrigerator, which can be subdivided into the heat conducted through the wall, the heat convected by the open doors and the heat lost into the goods, and the electric consumption of the machinery equipments. The model also includes a variety of explanatory variables to support an operator of logistics centers in evaluating the efficiency of energy consumption and establishing improvement strategies for energy efficiency. Application of the model developed in this study is discussed with observed data on energy consumption of a logistics center.

최근 물류센터는 대형화 첨단화에 따른 다양한 설비 및 장비의 도입으로 전기에너지 소비가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 물류센터의 전기에너지 사용 현황 및 소비 특성을 정량적으로 분석하고, 효율을 평가하기 위한 전기에너지 표준소비량을 추정하는 모형을 구축하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 제시된 모형은 물류센터의 온도요인이 전기에너지 소비에 큰 영향을 미치는 특성을 효과적으로 반영하기 위하여 열역학 이론을 도입하였다. 모형은 물류센터 벽면의 열전도, 출입문 열대류 및 취급물품의 열 손실로 구성된 냉동기 운용에너지 부문과 물류활동을 위한 기계설비의 전력소모 부문으로 구성된다. 모형은 또한 물류센터 운영자가 에너지 소비 효율을 평가하고 개선전략을 수립하는 것을 지원할 수 있도록 다양한 설명변수들을 포함한다. 실제 물류센터의 에너지 소비량을 기반으로 본 연구에서 개발된 모형의 적용성이 평가된다.
