Optimization of Energy-Aware Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem Using VNS-Based GA Approach Rakesh Kumar Phanden, Rahul Sindhwani, and Lalit Sharma

Abstract In today’s world, the manufacturing systems are growing day by day and capable to produce the products on time as per the customers’ requirement. However, the energy consumption by these manufacturing systems has been ignored, and a higher amount of energy is consuming to increase the production rate. Therefore, it is must to consider the criteria of energy consumption along with other traditional objectives of performance measures. Thus, in the present work, energy consumption has been considered with other measures to solve the flexible job shop scheduling (JSS) problem. It is a non-polynomial (NP) hard problem, and this problem belongs to the class of combinatorial optimization, so it is difficult to solve with a simple and exact mathematical formulation. Thus, this article presents the modified genetic algorithm (GA)-based methodology to deal with flexible JSS problem. The GA has been modified in order to increase local search using variable neighbourhood search (VNS)-based mutation operator in order to avoid premature convergence of regular GA. The proposed approach considers multiple objectives in order to produce an optimized solution for flexible JSS problem such as makespan, processing cost as well as the energy consumption. In present work, an alternative (flexible) manufacturing process has been considered to extend the JSS problem. A suitable chromosome has been designed to code the schedule (solution) for JSS problem having additional processing flexibility. A case study (of 6 jobs and 15 machines) has been presented in order to assess the effectiveness of projected modified GA method. Results reveal that the proposed VNS-based approach in GA is effective enough to reduce makespan, processing cost as well as energy consumption performance measures.

1 Introduction Since environmental awareness is increasing, the energy-efficient consumption factor among the other production functions has been identified as an important objective to be considered during the optimization of a manufacturing system. For the start of the new industrial revolution, the industrial sector comes with a higher amount of energy consumption to increase the production rate. Almost 33% of total energy has been consumed by production units, and they contribute 38% in greenhouse emission [1]. Furthermore, in order to satisfy the requirement of sustainable development, the production industries are facing new challenges, which help to achieve the ecological, social and economic aims. So, it is essential for industrial sectors that the manufacturing community has to access the systems which can increase the productivity of a production unit by decreasing its energy eating by incorporating latest technology capability as well as efficient planning and scheduling methods. Thus, in the present work, an approach has been presented to optimize the energy consumption with other performance-measuring criterion. The flexible job shop manufacturing environment has been considered to generate an optimized schedule. Multiple objectives have been taken into consideration, and a modified genetic algorithm (GA) approach has been applied to optimize the taken objective functions. Production scheduling concerns with allotment process of operations of all jobs to machines that depend on availability of machine tools as well as the time constraints of processes. Production scheduling becomes energy efficient when one undertakes the environmental impacts like energy consumption and carbon emissions during its optimization along with other traditional objective functions. Thus, the investigations to curtail consumption of energy in the production unit while production scheduling has been steadily booming [2]. Some of the acknowledged research studies considering the impact of energy consumption during the scheduling are discussed below. A model containing multiple objectives to reduce the consumption of energy as well as the total completion time while exploring the scheduling of jobs for a CNC machine has been proposed by Mouzon et al. [1]. Scheduling algorithms evolving integer programming models have been proposed for flow shop manufacturing environment in order to control the carbon footprints and power consumption with optimized makespan performance measure [2–4]. Also, the flow shop scheduling problems were solved to reduce time, makespan as well as energy consumption using branch and bound algorithms and NSGA-II [2, 5]. A mathematical model was presented to optimize energy consumption in flexible manufacturing system [6]. Also, the job shop scheduling (JSS) problem has been solved along with a mixed integer programming model for energy consumption criterion including makespan, robustness, noise reduction, processing cost and other performance measures using IBM ILOG CPLEX, simplex lattice design-based GA and whale algorithm of optimization [7–11]. The relationship between energy efficient, makespan and robustness has been identified, and disturbance has been studied during energy-aware production scheduling in a job shop [7]. It can be perceived from literature that, however,

the GA has been comprehensively applied to solve the taken problem; it is unrealistic to state that the application of an individual algorithm is superior to other since they have heuristic way of working. It can easily be stated that the research on green production scheduling is in primeval phase. Most of research articles possessed very simple cases such as limited number of parts to be process on a machine and flow shops scheduling with limited number of connected machines. Another important concern is regarding the problem to evaluate the active status of resources (mainly machines) and its corresponding environmental effects with operations. Practically, only three statuses have been considered and explored which are “on”, “off” and “idle”. Theoretically, the “standby” status is also found in literature [8]. Moreover, the flexible JSS problem has been solved using a modified biogeography-based optimization algorithm integrated with the variable neighbourhood search algorithm, grey wolf optimization algorithm with double-searching mode, memetic algorithm, bi-population-based discrete cat swarm optimization algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize makespan, electricity consumption cost and tardiness performance measures [12–15]. Thus, the literature review clearly reveals that the genetic algorithm with neighbourhood search technique has not been applied to optimize the flexible JSS for multi-objectives of minimizing energy consumption, processing cost and makespan. Rest of the sections of this article presents a literature review on the energy-aware contributions for production scheduling problems, problem formulation and mathematical model. Also, the adopted methodology has been elaborated before results and discussion. In the end, conclusions have been drawn from the present study.

2 Problem Statement The flexible job shop problem can be stated as “a group of ‘n’ number of jobs (in which the job ‘J’ varies from 1 to ‘n’ numbers) are processed on a group of ‘m’ number of machines (in which the machine ‘M’ varies from 1 to ‘m’) and each job is characterized by a set of operations ‘O’ and set of alternative (flexible) process plan available to process”. The schedule is determined based on different constraints between operations. Operation of a job in various alternative process plans can be processed on diverse machines with varying level of energy consumption or on a similar machine having diverse processing parameters. Consequently, the operation of each job “j” on machine “m” has operation time and equivalent energy consumption. Thus, a problem is formalized to assigns the jobs to the machines as well to find the sequence of operations on each machine for optimal solution of processing cost, makespan and energy consumption with equal weighting. It follows the following assumptions and constraints: (a) all machines, as well as jobs, are always ready to start by zero-time unit, (b) more than one operation is not allowed on a machine, (c) part pre-emption is not allowed, (d) precedence is applied between operations of a job, and (e) each job must follow the sequence of operation on machines.

3 Mathematical Model This section presents the energy-aware modelling for the production scheduling problem that occurs in a job shop floor considering flexible (alternative) process plans. The optimization of energy consumption, processing cost and makespan for flexible JSS problem is solved by a mathematical model (mixed integer programming) suggested by Dai et al. [16, 17]. In addition, the present work considers the minimization of processing cost as another function with the functions proposed by Dai et al. [16, 17]. Thus, three objectives of optimization, viz. energy consumption, makespan as well as processing cost have been taken to minimize for flexible JSS problem. The model is presented using the notations from Dai et al. [16, 17]. The model for consumption of energy has been established on basis of the existing research on energy-efficient manufacturing process [16, 17]. The total consumption of energy in the production process can be distributed into three categories—(a) basic consumption of energy: basic energy is the energy utilized to control the regular operation of a machine parts; it includes power consumption of the motor drives components, and servo feed drive parts, main spindle drive parts, supporting parts used for lubrication, cooling, hydraulic mechanisms and control devices as well as any other periphery parts; (b) consumption of energy for unloading activities: consumptions of energy for unloading like loading, unloading, positioning, fastening of workpiece and the exchanging of cutting tool and tool bit holders; (c) consumption of energy for cutting operation: consumption of energy for cutting is the actual cutting operation. This article considers the energy-efficient manufacturing processes; the primary contributors to the total energy consumption are the consumption of energy for unloading and the cutting. Thus, by considering the aforementioned assumption, the objective is to minimize the total consumption of energy (it is consisting of directenergy use up to remove material during the productive state and indirect-energy consumed in unfruitful states) [17].

In the right-hand side, the second equation is representing indirect consumption of energy, like energy for backup [17].

4 Adopted Methodology There is a vast solution search space while optimizing the energy-aware model of scheduling problem of a job shop configuration having availability of different machines to process a given job mix. In the present work, a multi-objective function with constraints and mixed integer programming has opted from Dai et al. [16, 17]. It is required to find an optimal (or near-optimal) results on the basis of an intelligent algorithm to ease the optimization process as per the defined production scheduling criteria. Therefore, in this study, a modified GA that combines a GA with a VNS is adapted in order to find an optimal result of the objective’s functions given in previous section. Genetic algorithm is the nature inspired search method that works on the basis of the process of natural biological evolution [18]. GA has been extensively used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The main advantage of GA is to get a good results quickly and efficiently for an objective function in a complex solution space. However, a major disadvantage of GA is that it possibly being stuck in a local optimum solution; this phenomenon is termed as premature convergence of GA. Therefore, the VNS has been planned to perform the mutation operation of GA. VNS is a local searching which emphasize on increasing the fitness of current solution through a procedure and continually changing the structures of the neighbourhood (solution) during the evolution of local search of solution space. VNS has been successfully applied to combinational complex problems [19]. The main advantage of VNS algorithm is that it can easily avoid the local convergence during optimization. Also, it can efficiently explore a difficult solution space in order to find the global optimum value of objective. Thus, in this paper, an attempt has been made to increase the strength of GA by incorporating the VNS. Figure 1 demonstrates the flowchart of VNS-based modified GA for the flexible JSS problem.

4.1 Chromosome Structure (Encoding) The present work utilizes multi-layered chromosome representation for the selection of alternative process plan and corresponding production schedule. Starting portion of the chromosome is reserved for process plan selection in which each gene represents a process plan number for each job. For example, if there are three jobs in the production

order, the first position (gene) represents the process plan number of job-1, the second position is for process plan number of the job-2, and third position is for process plan number of job-3. Hence, the length of the first layer is equal to the number of jobs in the production order. Next portion of the chromosome is utilizing operation-based representation of production schedule, in which a total number of operations of the production order is coded. Each gene represents the operation number of each job, i.e. the length of this portion is equal to the number of operations in production order.

4.2 Generation of Initial Population A feasible set of initial population is generated as follows; (i) set the length of an alternative process plan string  equal to the totalnumber of jobs in production order. (ii) The operations number of operations ol j l ∈ G j , j ∈ J of job j that contains maximum   between g j ( j ∈ J ) alternative process plans is precise as max ol j . Thus, the gene thread (of scheduling plan) have the total  equal  to the sumof the maximum    length in length of each job, i.e. expressed as nj=1 maxl ol j . Thus, n + nj=1 max ol j is l

the total length of the chromosome. In case, the length of chosen (of  gene  string  process plan) of job j does not match with the maximum number maxl ol j during decoding procedure, the components of operations of job j are detached from the last operation position to the first until unless the length is fulfilled through taken point. For example, if the size of the part mix is three and each part has four operations, then the chromosome embraces 15 numbers of total genes. In this study, three objectives have been considered to find a set of efficient results in a solution space, i.e. minimization of makespan and minimization of energy consumption and minimization of processing cost for the taken job shop environment.

4.3 GA Operations A regular GA works with three kinds of genetic operators, namely selection, crossover and mutation in a series. Each operator is equally important to achieve the optimized solution. Selection operator chooses the elite solutions from the population and transfers it for crossover and mutation. Crossover generates fresh individuals embracing parental information and mutation produce fresh offspring holding fresh information. (a) Selection. The present study considers linear-ranking selection along with stochastic universal sampling scheme. Here, chromosomes are arranged in decreasing order with respect to the absolute fitness values, and expected values are assigned to the ordered population as per their rank. The stochastic sampling scheme is used to choose the parents, and mating pool of selected chromosomes is created [20–26]. (b) Crossover. The method used for crossover operation is presented in Table 1.

5

(c) VNS-based Mutation. Mutation operator is used after the crossover operator in order to produce schedules containing fresh information. In mutation operator, there are numerous approaches for instance immunity-based mutation operators and uniform/non-uniform mutation which are utilized to resolve intricate (global) problems of optimization. In the present work, a VNS-based mutation procedure is considered to fit in the working of regular GA. In VNS, neighbourhood structure evaluation method acts with the important character to guide and control the performance of algorithm. Moreover, it has been concluded by various researchers that the local optimal solutions in diverse neighbourhoods are essentially undeviating. Also, a globally optimal solution is a locally optimal solution corresponding to the entire vicinity, and the local optimal solutions for various neighbourhood structures are quite near to each other. The idea behind the success of VNS optimization for local search is the changing capability of the neighbourhood structures methodically to improve the current optimized global solution. In the present work, TEN—“two-point exchange neighbourhood” and RIN—“random insert neighbourhood” structure have been adopted for evaluation. Both are simple neighbourhood structures. TEN exchanges two operations in the encoding sequence randomly. RIN method is randomly selecting one element from the particle and inserting it to another position of the encoding sequence. Hence, the VNS-based mutation operator can improve the searchability and the search efficiency of the algorithm by using two-point exchange neighbourhood structure [19]. In this study, two types of neighbourhood structures (TEN and RIN) are considered. N1 is selected as a principal neighbourhood (TEN), and N2 is set as a subordinate neighbourhood (RIN) in VNS-based

5 Results and Discussion The MATLAB® programming tool is used to implement the modified GA approach for flexible JSS problem. The personal computer is used to conduct the test with the configuration of Intel Pentium® 4 GB memory, 3.20 GHz processor speed and Windows 10 operating system. The proposed approach has been texted for a case study from Phanden and Jain [23]. The power (idle) consumptions for machines are taken from a job shop instance developed by Liu et al. [27]. It has been considered that all machines under examination are the mechanized and same value of cutting power has been set for each machine. A production order containing fifteen machines and six jobs has been taken from Phanden and Jain [23]. Figure 2 indicates Gantt chart of the optimized schedule. The value of optimized makespan was 183 units using the proposed approach. Table 3 presents the comparison of proposed VNS-based GA approach with the regular GA (without VNS-based mutation operator). Results show that the proposed approach is effective enough to optimize the multi-objectives. Results revealed that the makespan has been improved by 10.29%. Also, the value processing cost and energy consumption values have been optimized by 3.86% and 7.55%, respectively. The percentage improvement is computed as follows. % age improvement = (value of PM byRGA − value of PM by VGA)/ (value of PM by RGA) × 100

Thus, it can be safely concluded that formalized VNS-based GA approach is better than the conventional regular GA approach for makespan, processing cost and energy consumption.

6 Conclusion The present article addresses the issue of environmental awareness in terms of optimizing energy consumption along with other conventional performance measures during the scheduling for a flexible job shop manufacturing environment. Therefore, a modified GA-based approach to solve flexible JSS problem considering multiobjectives such as makespan, processing cost and energy consumption has been proposed. A mutation operator of regular GA has been modified with the application of VNS algorithm. TEN—“two-point exchange neighbourhood” and RIN—“random insert neighbourhood” structures have been successfully applied in place of mutation operation during regular GA. Results reveal that proposed approach outperformed regular GA. The proposed work can be extend to compare the proposed approach through another nature inspired algorithms like particle swam optimization, cuckoo search algorithm, ant colony algorithm, etc. Moreover, it can be extend to consider for the tardiness performance measure with the proposed modified GA approach.

Optimizing the Conveyor Belt Speed of a Bright Annealing Furnace Akshay Naidu, R. Padmanaban, and R. Vaira Vignesh

Abstract A company’s growth is determined by an increase in its sales numbers and by a decrease in its expenditures. By doing this, the company attains a more significant profit (bottom line). In almost all manufacturing industries, annealing furnaces play a significant role. In this paper, an improvement in the operation of an annealing furnace used in a press shop is attempted. The press shop performs forging of watch cases, and annealing is performed in between every forging stage. This project focuses on increasing the productivity of the furnace by optimizing its conveyor belt speed. Experiments are conducted, and several annealed samples were collected for analysis. Furthermore, hardness and metallographic properties were also studied. With the help of regression plots of hardness and belt speed, and with the help of microstructures, an optimized belt speed was selected. The optimized belt speed is almost 42% more than the original speed used for production, hence increasing productivity. Keywords Annealing · Conveyor belt · Furnace · Hardness · Regression

1 Introduction The watch manufacturing process involves different stages like designing, prototyping, tool manufacturing, forging, annealing, machining, polishing, assembly and quality control. During this process, the majority of the problems like improper surface finish, inadequate reduction in hardness and sensitization while manufacturing the case centers (body of the watch) and back covers are observed during annealing. This heat treatment process is seen as a bottleneck in many industries. The annealing softens the watch-case centers and back covers in intermediate stages to facilitate forging processes. Some of the problems that are encountered are associated with inefficient usage of the furnace, high energy consumption and improper A. Naidu · R. Padmanaban (B) · R.

material handling ways leading to safety concerns. In this work, a particular type of annealing furnace known as a bright annealing furnace is utilized to anneal stainless steel components. The old belt speed was set based on the previous experiments, and it was known that it could be improved further. If the belt speed is increased, it will enhance both the top line (sales) and bottom line (profit) of the company by increasing productivity. Research works have been carried out to explore the effect of heat treatment parameters on different materials. Raji et al. [1] report an increase in soaking time of the steel, a continual decrease in yield strength, tensile strength, hardness and impact strength. Thanakijkasem et al. [2] studied the effects of bright annealing on the formability of the SS304 in tube hydroforming (THF). The correct annealing parameters remarkably decreased the development of deformation-induced martensite. Sarkar et al. [3] found the optimum annealing cycle that would produce excellent mechanical as well as formability properties of extra deep drawing quality steel. Schino et al. [4] studied the effect of austenite–martensite transformation and development of microstructure after reversion of austenite at various annealing temperatures and times for an AISI 304 stainless steel. Annealing at low temperatures resulted in ultrafine-grain microstructure, and a Hall–Petch dependency was prevalent. Singh et al. [5] investigated the effects of a variety of cold rolling on the sensitization and intergranular corrosion (IGC) of SS304. The IGC of solution-annealed samples increased with an increase in sensitization temperature and time. The level of cold rolling was directly related to the increase in IGC resistance. De et al. [6] proposed a methodology that demonstrates that the martensite transformation may be effectively characterized in terms of volume fraction of phases formed during deformation through the analysis of a single XRD profile. Milad et al. [7] investigated the effect of plastic deformation introduced by cold rolling at ambient temperature on the tensile properties of AISI 304 stainless steel. The results after a 50% reduction in thickness indicate that the formation of strain-induced martensite led to a significant strengthening. Increase in cold rolling percentage up to 45% increased the tensile strength, yield strength and hardness. Statistical models based on the design of experiments provide a deep insight into the effect of process parameters on the behavior and properties of the materials processed. Some of the techniques successfully employed include regression using the design of experiments, Taguchi technique and response surface methodology [8]. When the relation between input parameters and response variable is nonlinear, soft computingbased models like artificial neural network, fuzzy logic and radial basis function have been utilized to explore the effect of processes on the properties of materials [9, 10]. The present work aims to optimize the conveyor belt speed of the bright annealing furnace taking into consideration the specified hardness and microstructure for case center of watch. In this study, the influence of belt speed on the microstructural evolution and microhardness of the specimen was investigated. An optimum belt speed was established based on the results of the developed model.

2 Materials and Methods 2.1 Material SS304 is used for manufacturing case centers. Holes are made in the long strip of SS304 and are blanked into required dimensions. These blanked components are forged at several stages in the press shop to obtain the final shape. The workflow in the press shop is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Blanking Pre-cleaning and cleaning Annealing Oiling Forming Repeat from step 2 for consecutive forming process.

In this study, the case center is obtained after eight stages of forging process. A sample image of the case center that is formed after eight forging stages is shown in Fig. 1. Annealing Annealing is carried out after each forging stage to remove the internal and residual stresses. KOHNLE/BENCO bright annealing furnace was used for the annealing process. It is a conveyor belt-type continuous furnace with three heating zones and two cooling chambers. It has two sets of SS continuous belts that can be operated at different speeds. The current operating belt speed is 60 cm/min, and the peak temperature is 1120 °C. The inlet temperature of the cooling water in the cooling

chamber is 18 °C with a flow rate of 55 m3 /s. In the current design, the total time from entry to exit is approximately 20 min. The entire annealing process is carried out in a cracked ammonia environment.

2.2 Experimental Design In this study, the belt speed was varied as given in Table 1. Three specimens were collected at the entry point and exit point of the annealing furnace for each annealing stage.

2.3 Microstructure Analysis The samples were taken from the last forging stage, as there is a drastic reduction in hardness after annealing. The microstructure of the specimens before annealing and after annealing was studied. The specimens were prepared by polishing the top face of the case center. After preparing the specimen, aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid in a molar ratio of 1:3) was used as an etchant to examine the grains and the grain boundaries using an optical microscope.

2.4 Microhardness Vicker’s microhardness tester method was used to measure the microhardness of the specimens, as per the standard ASTM E-384 [11, 12]. The 3 o’clock position on the back face of the case center was selected for measuring hardness so that measurement can be done on a flat surface. The microhardness was measured at a load of 10 kg f and for a dwell time of 10 s.

2.5 Statistical Modeling A statistical model was developed using a quadratic function to study the effect of belt speed on the microhardness of the specimens. The models were developed at 95% confidence level.

3 Results and Discussion 3.1 Microstructure Results (After Eighth Forging Stage) The microstructure of the specimen processed at a belt speed of 55 cm/min before and after annealing is shown in Fig. 2a, b, respectively. Figure 2c, d shows the microstructure of the specimen processed at 60 cm/min before and after annealing, respectively. The microstructure of the specimen processed at a belt speed of 65 cm/min before and after annealing is shown in Fig. 2e, f, respectively. Figure 2g, h shows the microstructure of the specimen processed at 75 cm/min before and after annealing, respectively. The microstructure of the specimen processed at a belt speed of 85 cm/min before and after annealing is shown in Fig. 2i, j respectively. At the belt speed of 85 cm/min, no visual defects were observed. No effects of sensitization were observed in all the cases.

3.2 Microhardness and Statistical Regression Model The microhardness results indicate that the highest reduction in hardness happens in the first and last three annealing stages. It is also observed that the highest increase in hardness happens in the first and last three forging stages. The regression model was developed to interrelate the microhardness of the specimen and conveyor speed. The variation of hardness with conveyor belt speed is shown in Fig. 3. From the literature, it has been observed that decreasing the soaking time increases the hardness values [9, 10]. This is evident from our results as well. Figure 3a shows the influence of belt speed on the microhardness of the firststage annealing specimens. In the first-stage annealing, the microhardness of the specimens exhibits a crest parabolic trend with an increase in belt speed from 55 to 85 cm/min. The microhardness decreases linearly with an increase in belt speed in the second-stage annealing, as shown in Fig. 3b. In the third- and fourth-stage annealing, the microhardness of the specimen decreases with an increase in belt speed from 55 to 80 cm/min. The microhardness of the specimens increases with further increase in belt speed, as observed in Fig. 3c, d. However, in the fifth-stage annealing, the microhardness is found to increase with an increase in belt speed beyond 75 cm/min. Figure 3e shows the influence of belt speed on the microhardness

of the specimen in the fifth-stage annealing. Similar to the second-stage annealing, the microhardness of the specimens decreases with an increase in belt speed in the sixth stage of annealing, as shown in Fig. 3f. Figure 3g shows that the microhardness decreases with an increase in belt speed up to 80 cm/min. Beyond this, a slight increase in microhardness was observed. An increasing trend in hardness is observed from the belt speed of 75 cm/min in the eighth-stage annealing, as shown in Fig. 3h.

4 Conclusions The experimental results indicate that the obtained results are within desirable limits with no visual defects in all the five trials. At the present scenario and working conditions, the maximum optimum speed can be fixed at 85 cm/min. From this study,

a 42% increase in belt speed was achieved which is advantageous to the company. A further increase in speed can lead to unfavorable and unforeseen defects unless and until verified by conducting additional experiments.

1 Introduction A lot of investigations using modeling of thermomechanically induced deformation of functionally graded laminates without considering uncertainty are carried out by earlier researchers [1, 3, 9, 10]. Comparatively fever research work is available on the application of postbuckling investigations functionally graded laminates with uncertain parameters. In earlier studies carried out by researchers, it is found that there are always uncertainties in material properties and in environmental conditions; therefore, analytical method is further extended for further studies by SFEM. It is evident from available literature that present investigation of superior graded structure resting on foundation support applying nonlinear SFEM is not applied earlier for investigations.

2 Mathematical Formulations Functionally graded laminate with cut out in center comprising hybrid material side (a), and side (b), thickness (h) is considered in present investigation. Elastic foundations parameters used in present analysis are given in [5, 8].

present study are written in Table 3. The other dimensions for study are written in Table 3. The laminate is resting on Winkler and Pasternak foundations round hole shows more expected mean outcome and COV compared with laminate without hole due to concentration factors. Table 4 shows the combined effects of temperature and mechanical force, volume fraction index(n), laminate thickness ratios and Various Hole Sizes with uncertainties in laminate on the dimensionless Mean and COV of post buckling loads. When plates are resting on supports the average values deforming force increase on increasing volume fraction index. COV is significant for thin plates. Deformed laminate possess less stiffness with cut outs. Circular holed plates are preferred to other type of cut outs as studied. Table 5 shows the effects of clamped support, volume fraction index and Pasternak elastic foundations on FGM plates with circular cutouts. The other parameters taken for studies are mentioned in Table 5. The effects of amplitude ratios make the nonlinear stiffness matrices higher.

5 Conclusion Laminates with circular cut out is more sensitive for variations of environmental conditions studied. Therefore, FGM plates with rectangular cut outs with low n and Pasternak elastic foundations are more useful compared to other combinations. Clamped support is further desirable compared to simple support. Thin plate with circular cut out is unstable compared to thick laminate with cut outs would be desirable for various uses.

1 Introduction Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is on the verge of radically changing how organizations operate: [13, 11]. I4.0 technologies are futuristic, and are anticipated to boost grander industrial production, flexibility and productivity: [1]. The I4.0 terminology was incepted in Germany by the German administration to digitize the engineering industry. This terminology was made public at the ‘Hannover Messe Industrie (HMI Fair) in 2011’, in which it was proven how cyber-physical arrangements could be in control for developing innovative business models, conceiving thereby a transferral archetype in the manufacturing computerization sector: [10]. Countries and its industries would slowly but surely embrace I4.0 at different rates and in diverse ways [19]. For instance, nations with a high-cost skilled workforce would be able to make the most of an advanced level of automation [12]. Developing economies with a young, technology-savvy labor force might also jump at the prospect, and might even generate completely novel industrial models. I4.0 could offer incredible opportunities for innovative manufacturers, system suppliers, and entire regions. Nevertheless, as with preceding transformational advances, I4.0 also poses a specific risk to laggards [12]. As business models, economics, and talent necessities change, we might well see foremost alterations in top spots, at both the business, regional and countries level. To dynamically shape the makeover, countries, organizations including manufacturers and suppliers must take decisive action to embrace the technological advancement and address the need to become accustomed to the appropriate infrastructure and education [13]. Authors, earlier have carried out literature reviews of I4.0 policies mostly in developed economies, and have acknowledged the need for additional studies on the status of I4.0, especially in emerging economies [14, 15, 19]. This effort is an effort to bridge the above said research gap by examining and discussing the following themes: • Why it is essential for developing countries to adopt I4.0? • Evaluate the level of I4.0 integration into national industrial policies? • The benchmarking of readiness for Asian countries for the future of production.

2 Literature Review 2.1 What Is Industry 4.0 I4.0 is fundamentally label specified to the modernized phase of the industry, which is automation and information exchange between the industrial machinery and systems; primarily, it is based on the cyber-physical makeover of manufacturing [1, 7, 10, 12]. The preceding phases of the industrial revolution included the ‘Industry 1.0: mechanization, water, and steam power’; followed by ‘Industry 2.0: mass production and electricity into production’; ‘Industry 3.0: automation and computerization’; and finally ‘Industry 4.0: cyber-physical system’. In I4.0, the machinery is

directly connected to other machineries and could accumulate statistics and analyze the configurations amid themselves; they would be intelligent systems to make judgments, which are difficult for humans [2, 10, 18, 20]. I4.0 emphasises on end-to-end digitization of every original data in a business process, right from input to the finish product, linking and assimilating digital settings with value chain partners up to the consumer [2, 5, 7, 10, 11].

2.2 Industry 4.0 Design Principles I4.0 is based on six design principles, explained in Fig. 1. These principles aid establishments in recognizing and executing I4.0 developments. Moreover, these principles help in creating smart factories by using cyber-enabled arrangements for real-time monitoring of physical procedures, fashioning computer-generated replicas of the physical setting and making business decisions [10, 13, 20]. These principles form the baseline for the machinery, devices, instruments, and individuals for realtime connection and communication with each other via the internet of things (IoT). Additionally, it is these systems that help in creating digital twins by combining sensor data to higher-value perspective information to support humans in taking decentralized decisions [12].

2.3 Why It Is Important for Developing Countries to Adopt I4.0 I4.0 facilitated machinery will steadily substitute more and more low skillful workforce conventionally connected with the industrial sector [13]. As labor expenses turn out to be a fewer in proportion to the industrial costs, the motivation to place plants in nations, with low cost advantages becomes low [13, 19]. As a substitute industrial unit will be positioned closer to the marketplaces for their precise products. Digital technologies are pushing innovative manufacturing practices, business models, and value- chains that will entirely take worldwide manufacturing systems to a different level [2, 5, 10, 11, 18]. The speediness and extensiveness of its progressions take along a stratum of intricacy for developing and realizing manufacturing policies that enhance productivity, quality, safety, delivery, and safety levels. I4.0 will influence all nations [13–15] and civilizations, administrations, and people by following questions to the policymakers. • How developing countries create and implement their master plan for I4.0? • Which role organizations will perform in the forthcoming worldwide valuecreation and value chains? • How do developing countries develop the skills of people for superior employability under shifting situations? Thus, developing countries may not be able to take the benefit of low-cost human resources in such scenarios; hence, it is essential for them to embrace the digital technologies of I4.0. We have taken Japan, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Korea, Pakistan, and Thailand in the scope of our study.

2.4 Evaluation of the National Policy Framework for I4.0 I4.0 lies at the center of Germany’s exertions to endure its worldwide headship in advanced manufacturing. Although numerous nations pursue in imitating Germany’s methodology to I4.0, limited hold an analogous underpinning of amassed technical and engineering proficiencies [10, 11, 13, 14]. The German government demonstrated an absolute commitment of assets over the past few years to turn out to be both a foremost provider, and the imperative marketplace for I4.0 associated products, machines, equipments and facilities [14]. Germany’s I4.0 policy can be characterized as a strategy and a learning procedure assimilating a multifaceted fusion of innovation, manufacturing, exploration, research, and other connected policies [10, 13, 14]. The German know-how underlines the relevance of multi-stakeholder synchronization and cooperation as the groundwork for its I4.0 policy and its deployment. Emergent technologies of I4.0 need to be leveraged to upkeep the administrations of

developing countries to strengthen their spot and transpire as factories of the future [12]. To empower this, administrations in other countries have embraced policy actions that are projected to offer a course to the implementation of I4.0: [13] and are given in Fig. 2. The national I4.0 policy framework mentioned in Fig. 2 functions as a strategic guide plan to empower the renovation of the industrial segment and fast-track the embracing of the I4.0 and are explained in Table 1 and its citation table is given in Table 2.

3 Discussion Singapore has a wide-ranging I4.0 policy, which focuses on building the capability of its people by re-skilling and transforming the industry, while creating smart cities for example. Japan, on the other hand, has been focusing on using I4.0 technologies for improving the lives of its people in the super smart society 5.0 program. Thailand 4.0 is intended at fashioning a value-centered economy. China and Korea are focusing on using digital technologies to improve the manufacturing capabilities and smart factory. Other countries are in the early stage of I4.0 policies to become global economies by retrieving net export benefit, increasing share of GDP from the industrial sector, and improving output, as an outcome from progression in technology and modernization. The authors were not able to find any I4.0 policy of Pakistan

4 Research Methodology This paper is centered on extensive literature review of I4.0 concepts, its principles, and national policy initiatives towards I4.0 adoption, along with secondary data analysis of some key factors related to the future of production. The research methodology has been summarized in Fig. 5.

5 Data Analysis I4.0 technologies have triggered the discovery of new manufacturing methods and business models, which are sustainable and futuristic. The authors have analyzed data from the ‘readiness for the future of production report 2018’ of world economic forum, which is a benchmark in itself, along with analytical instruments and statistics set to benefit nations to recognize their current level of ‘readiness for the future of

5.1 Discussion on Readiness for Future of Production (Figs. 7 and 8) Singapore, Japan and South Korea have been found to be the leading countries as regards the readiness for future of production, based on their high scores shown in Figs. 7 and 8. The ‘quality of education to build human resources’ has also had a high score for these countries, which tend to support and horne the skills required to adopt these technologies. Singapore specifically, seems to have better ranking in ICT enabled business models, embracing the disruptive ideas, sustainable development, and cybersecurity commitments; but here, they possibly need to improve their global ranking as regards the ‘quality’ of universities. Japan is a leading economy under most parameters, but may need to focus on embracing disruptive ideas in Japanese organizations. Despite being in the top ranking countries as regards economic valueadd in manufacturing, green field investments, quality of universities, China would do well to reflect upon policy measures for cyber security, skill building, manufacturing employment, scientific and technical research, FDI and technology transfer, ICT enabled business and sustainability initiatives. Regardless of being in top 10 countries in most of parameters, there is an opportunity for South Korea to reflect upon sustainable possessions, FDI and technology transfer, investment in futuristic technologies. Other Asian countries need to benchmark the best practices of Singapore, Japan, and Korea for expediting the transition for I4.0.

Research limitations and implications: The work done in this research is qualitative in nature through extensive extant literature review. Going forward, validation of the findings using a quantitative method by primary data analysis can be a potential area of research. Our evaluation of the integration of I4.0 model into national and industrial policies, while benchmarking the readiness of countries for future of production, may support policymakers, researchers, academicians, and practitioners working on developing strategic plans to accelerate the implementation of I4.0 technologies. The following themes can be considered by future researchers for I4.0 implementation at the ground level; for instance, how can developing countries assimilate small and medium-sized enterprises, what skills would the labour force need to flourish in the forthcoming environment of digital technologies, how developing countries can manage the impacts of I4.0 technologies on employment, among others.

Exergy Analysis of Novel Combined Absorption Refrigeration System Vaibhav Jain, Ashu Singhal, and Harsh Joshi

Abstract Nowadays, absorption systems are very much in demand due to its sole feature of utilizing waste heat energy of a system into other system providing cooling process. In here, a novel setup of combined absorption refrigeration (CAR) system is forthput and analyzed to produce −20 °C cold energy by utilizing the waste heat of low grade. The system formulated ahead consists of multiple (two) sub-systems: LiBr/H2 O absorption refrigeration (AR) cycle and NH3 /H2 O absorption refrigeration (AR) cycle. CAR system is utilizing the low grade not so useful heat using a cascade system method. Simulation has been done, analogous to a thermodynamic model built in Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software. Coefficient of performance (COP) and exergy efficiency are the few performance arguments. The overall COP of the system is 0.206 with exergetic efficiency of 24.1%. The present simulation results show that CAR has a tremendous adaptability. The work gives a new lead to produce low-temperature cold energy using waste heat of low grade.

1 Introduction Today, reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint is one of the most considerable factors for the living worldwide, and this can be achieved by monitored and wise utilization of energy. Currently, it is a foremost concern in the field of refrigeration. Combined refrigeration cycles are required by cooling systems for energy saving. Absorption-absorption cascade refrigeration systems are taken into account as a great alternative to one-stage absorption/compression refrigeration systems as it is becoming a tedious task for the non-conventional one-stage absorption/compression refrigeration systems to achieve particular temperature of refrigeration below −20 °C with permissible operations and capital benefits [1]. A simple vapor absorption refrigeration (AR) system therefore comprises an expansion device, a condenser and an evaporator as analogous to the vapor compression system, and in addition, generator, an absorber, pump, heat exchanger and a pressure-reducing valve are also introduced in place of compressor. To obtain vapors of fed refrigerant from lean solution, heat is injected to the generator to carry out the process. This refrigerant then goes to the condenser, giving out a particular amount of heat as it is condensed. The refrigerant then leaves the condenser which is expanded to the evaporator where cold energy is produced as it is evaporated. After this, the vapors of refrigerant then move on to the next component which is absorber, where a solution coming from generator absorbs it, giving out some fixed amount of heat. Finally, the solution which consumed or absorbed the refrigerant goes back to the initial stage, i.e., generator, where preheating of the solution takes place from the generator through heat exchanger repeating the cycle. In ARs, two working fluids are commonly used as absorbent and refrigerant: ammonia–water (NH3 –H2 O) and

water–lithium bromide (H2 O–LiBr), which are richly accessible all around the globe. The AR can effectively recover the waste heat of about 50% of total and reuse it in industries and their process as and when required [2]. A way to enhance the working and efficiency of absorption system is its size. Improvising the method of heat and mass transfer can lead to reduction in the exchange area and size of absorber, which further results in reduction of weight, volume and cost of whole system. Also, method of exergy analysis done here is thoroughly best fit to achieve goal of using more efficient resources as it can determine weak spots, types and true magnitude of waste generated by the system. This can help in improving the designs of thermal systems to eliminate the sources of inefficiency and reducing the costs as much as achievable [3]. Theoretical as well as experimental studies have been done on topic of exergy/second-law efficiency analysis of absorption systems and also the heat pumps. With respect to single-effect LiBr–H2 O absorption systems, exergy analysis is forthput and written by Talbi and Agnew [4], where the study has been developed for an absorption refrigeration system and another model is forthput by Sencan ¸ et al. [5], where a model is made to carry out examination for cooling/heating purposes and for system’s separate components. Analogous outcomes were fetched, which conclude that exergy losses were relatively larger for absorber and generator. Morosuk and Tsatsaroni [6] gave a theory which consists of splitting of the exergy destruction further into endogenous/exogenous and unavoidable/avoidable parts with the aim of achievement of exergy analysis’ accuracy. Several studies on cascaded vapor compression–absorption systems have also been done. Chinnappa et al. [7] done the study of an absorption–compression cascade refrigeration system comprised in air conditioning and explored that COP of compression sub-system rose from 2.55 to 5 with the aid of absorption subsystem, while there was decrease of power usage of compression subsystem, lowering from 4.35 to 2.2 kW. A study on geothermal energy-powered absorption–compression cascade refrigeration cycle was done by Kairouani et al. [8]. It concluded that the coefficient of performance of cycle is 37–54% more than vapor compression cycle through calculations. Xu et al. [9] demonstrated a combined absorption–compression cascade refrigeration system that can achieve a temperature of evaporation below − 100 °C. But, so far, achievements in techniques for waste heat utilization are very limited. In research carried forward, novel combined configuration of absorption refrigeration system has been introduced which will utilize waste heat of low grade for producing −20 °C lower temperature energy. This newly introduced CAR overcomes the restrictions and limitation of refrigeration temperature, which is completely different from conventional vapor compression/vapor absorption refrigeration systems. CAR is inclusive of two sub-systems: LiBr/H2 O absorption refrigeration sub-system and NH3 /H2 O absorption refrigeration sub-system. The study here is done with objective to (1) demonstrate a new absorption–absorption combined refrigeration system to utilize the waste heat more efficiently and effectively; (2) carrying out the investigation on the thermodynamic performance of the combined

refrigeration system; (3) determine the amount of work available from the system, i.e., exergy of the system; (4) determine the pros of the combined system. The work done here will prove to be a new approach of utilizing waste heat energy and obtaining output in form of cold energy.

2 Process Description New combined AR comprises two cycles: NH3 /H2 O AR cycle and LiBr/H2 O AR cycle. LiBr/H2 O AR cycle consists with an absorber, a generator and a heat exchanger, an evaporator and a condenser in cycle. High-pressure parts (HPP) consist of a generator and condenser; the low-pressure parts (LPP) consist of absorber and evaporator. The NH3 /H2 O AR cycle is analogous to LiBr/H2 O AR cycle. LiBr/H2 O system is suitable for moderate-temperature (5 °C and above) applications particularly air conditioning. Here, H2 O is refrigerant and LiBr is absorbent. NH3 /H2 O system is suitable for low-temperature (less than 5 °C) refrigeration/cooling applications with NH3 as refrigerant and H2 O being absorbent. The LiBr/H2 O pair comprises majority of the above-listed properties. For these reasons, LiBr and water systems are more in demand. The primary cycle of combined AR is the NH3 /H2 O AR cycle. As saturated refrigerant vapor enters into the absorber (1) from the evaporator, it is drawn by the absorbent reduction of pressure inside the absorber further leading to more flow of the refrigerant from the evaporator to the absorber. The strong solution from absorber is pumped into generator (4) which is at a higher pressure; heat from the heating sources is added to generator. This results as heating NH3 gas gets expelled from the strong solution in the generator and passes onto the condenser (8) where it is again condensed to the liquid and pass to the evaporator (9) via expansion valve (10). The weak solution in generator after NH3 is expelled passes through the reducing valve (6) to the absorber (7). Outlet consisting of water from the absorber of primary AR cycle (13) acts as an input for the absorber of the secondary cycle using a refrigerant as H2 O and the absorbent as LiBr. The strong solution is given into the generator (24); further heat is added to the generator. Resulting, saturated vapor gets expelled from the generator and moves to the condenser (28) where it is again condensed to the liquid and pass through the expansion valve (29) to the condenser of the primary NH3 /H2 O AR cycle. The waste heat of the condenser of NH3 /H2 O AR (12) is fed to input of the absorber. The waste heat of generator of NH3 /H2 O AR is fed to the input of the LiBr/H2 O generator, and waste heat of the condenser of LiBr/H2 O AR is fed to the absorber of LiBr/H2 O AR. The combined system is shown in Fig. 1.

The operation is carried out under steady state. 2. Heat loss and pressure in the parts and pipelines of the system are not taken into account. 3. Refrigerant will be saturated which occurs at exit of both components, i.e., evaporator and condenser. 4. Isenthalpic process is in expansion valves. 5. The strong and weak solutions which leave the generator and absorber, respectively, are taken to be saturated and at equilibrium at their respective pressures and temperatures. The group of dominant equations given below is applicable to all the parts used of CAR with its consideration as control volume [10]. Mass balance, Material balance, Energy balance,

V. Jain et al.

In this paper, the coefficient of performance, circulation ratio and concentration range are used as the execution arguments to examine CAR. The COP of absorption refrigeration is stated as heat load in the evaporator per unit heat load in the generator. The heat load of generator in this research is passed by waste heat of low grade, which relates to the system consumption. The expression of COP is given as:   COPNH3 /H2 O = Q˙ evap / Q˙ g1 + W˙ p1

(4)

    COPLiBr/H2 O = Q˙ c1 + Q˙ a1 / Q˙ g2 + W˙ p2

(5)

  COPCAR = Q˙ evap / Q˙ g1 + W˙ p1 + Q˙ g2 + W˙ p2

(6)

The circulation ratio is a necessary planning and modifying argument as it is straight in relation with the cost and size of the parts of the system. It is referred to quantitative relation of the solutions’ mass flow rate which is fed into generator to the refrigerant which is leaving the generator. f NH3 /H2 O = m˙ 2 /m˙ 8

(7)

f LiBr /H2O = m˙ 22 /m˙ 28

(8)

Concentration range refers to the input and output solutions’ concentration difference in generator. Concentration range of NH3 /H2 O AR is defined as: x2 = x4−x5

(9)

A larger measure of COP proves efficient performance and much higher energy utilization efficiency. The f is having an inverse relation with x. The larger measure of f belongs to a smaller value of x value and vice versa. The larger measure of f signals higher solution flow rate for unit mass of refrigerant, which can result into higher energy consumption, and therefore, it is a barrier to further improvise performance and efficiency of absorption refrigeration. The process data input to the system is given Table 1.

3.2 Exergy Analysis The exergy is referred to the maximum and achievable reversible work which can be derived from a stream or system in taking along the condition of an operation with a reference state. Exergy is never destroyed in an ideal process (except for those developing work) and terminated during real process. Neglecting few effects

OUT

To achieve aim of determining the system performance and outcomes from laws of thermodynamics, i.e., first and second law, few assumptions were made in the further processing of the mathematical and calculative model for the adiabatic absorption cooling under study which are as follows. • At the entry and exit of the primary components, there is thermodynamic equilibrium. • The analysis has been done under steady-state conditions for the reference points of inlet and outlet. • The saturated solution is used at the absorber and generator exit and the same condition, i.e., saturated refrigerant at the condenser and the evaporator terminal. • There are heat and pressure drops in the tubing and various components which are taken infinitesimally small, except in components like pumps and valves.

V. Jain et al.

• Energy is fed in the generator and the evaporator using hot liquid usually water, whereas cold water is taken in for removal of heat from the condenser at the identical temperature. • The reference condition for the exergy analysis is atmospheric pressure and T 0 = 298.15 K. • Parameters like the heat load in the evaporator E Q, the efficacy of the solution heat exchanger (assumed 0.7) and temperatures at the terminal of the primary components are known. • Creating energy and exergy equilibrium for every primary component of the system.

Necessary arguments and parameters required for the analysis of the working of the system, with respect to first two laws of thermodynamics, are: the irreversibility of components and the whole system, the COP and the exergy efficiency. Now, since COP work has been worked out already, therefore efficiency of our system is calculated already. The irreversibility for whole cycle I CYCLE is framed as I˙CYCLE = I˙C(1+2) + I˙G(1+2) + I˙E(1+2) + I˙A(1+2) + I˙G(1+2) + I˙Hex(1+2) + I˙P(1+2) (45) Exergy efficiency can be estimated as ηsecond_ law = 1 −

4 Results and Further Discussion The thermodynamic CAR model depicted is applied to examine the performance of CAR as shown in Fig. 1. In the study done, the thermodynamic model contains very high nonlinear behavior equations and is solved with the help of software package Engineering Equation Solver (EES) (Klein, 2015). Many scholars and researchers who are working around the world in the area of refrigeration used EES for the thermodynamic modeling of their refrigeration systems. EES determine and combine equations that must be solved at same time on its own. This feature eases the operation for the operator and makes sure that the solver will always work at optimal efficiency. EES uses a technique of Newton’s method to solve systems of nonlinear algebraic equations. EES is made such so as to provide various built-in functions like mathematical and thermophysical property functions. After deriving the complete model, the process of simulation of the CAR is started under the variety of loading and design conditions. The refrigerant mass flow rate in NH3 /H2 O and LiBr/H2 O is 0.146 kg/s and 0.193 kg/s, respectively. Considering the data of low-grade and high-grade energies of various components of CAR, rate of heat transfer in generator of NH3 /H2 O and LiBr/H2O is 280.80 kW and 569.60 kW, respectively, whereas the circulation ratio of two systems is determined to be 2.48 and 13.19, respectively. The rate of heat transfer for condenser and absorber is 216.70 kW and 239.80 kW, respectively, for NH3/H2O sub-system, whereas for LiBr/H2 O sub-system, values come out to be 485.30 kW and 540.70 kW, respectively. The pump’s effect on total energy inputs is determined as negligible.

The COP of NH3 /H2 O and LiBr/H2 O sub-systems is 0.6246 and 0.8015, respectively. The total COP of CAR system is determined as 0.206. After determining the COP of the components as a whole, exergy analysis has been done to identify the irreversible losses and exergy efficiency of the novel CAR system. Exergy analysis is a tool of great importance to locate the usage of useful energy (exergy) which is required to proceed the thermodynamic processes. The irreversibility rate of entire cycle comes out to be 135.90 kW; whereas the exergy efficiency is 24.1%. Exergy input given to the system is 814.22 kW. The maximum irreversible losses (29.32 kW) occur in the generator of NH3 /H2 O sub-system as the thermal gradient is high. Higher is the temperature difference, higher will be irreversible losses. Hence, generator of NH3 /H2 O sub-system is the most sensitive component of the proposed CAR. The most efficient component of CAR system is pumps and pressure-reducing valves, wherein the zero entropy generation has been observed. In reducing order of irreversible losses, various components of CAR could be aligned as generators, absorbers, condensers, heat exchangers, evaporators and expansion valves.

5 Conclusions CAR is made to produce −20 °C cold energy by consuming waste heat of low grade. To establish the above-depicted system, model is built in EES, according to the process data. A parametric study is performed to give the guidance for the system design which is based on the model. Regarding the features of CAR, two subsystems are analyzed separately from each other. In NH3 /H2 O AR cycle, the energy usage degree and other arguments are determined by concentration range which is similar to LiBr/H2 O AR cycle. This study provides efficient and an innovative lead to produce high-caliber cold energy using the redundant heat of low grade. CAR system is designed to attain a maximal coefficient of performance and exergy efficiency. The COP of the fashioned CAR is 0.206. The exergy efficiency of the system is found to be 24.1%. Generator of NH3 /H2 O sub-system is the most sensitive component of the proposed CAR, whereas the most efficient components are pumps and pressure-reducing valves.

Geothermal Energy: An Effective Resource Toward Sustainability Suman Das and Arijit Kundu

Abstract Recently, the world’s biggest issue is climate change due to the greenhouse gas emissions of several conventional technological applications and exhaustion of fossil fuels. Thus, the importance has been given on the research of renewable energy. Geothermal energy is a such renewable energy source of the earth. Geothermal energy is the infinite source of energy, maintained to the nearly invariable level of temperature into the earth at a certain depth, almost throughout the year. This concept is being used as a sink for the geothermal heat pump coupled with a geothermal heat exchanger. This research paper assesses the recent projects and the advancement of the geothermal heat pump using for cooling and heating purposes or other business purposes in India. By using geothermal energy, power consumption can be reduced up to 50–60%. Keywords Geothermal · Renewable · Underground · Heat exchanger · Heat pump

1 Introduction Before, the air-conditioning devices were used as luxurious equipment, but in recent years, it becomes a necessity in daily life. Therefore, the demand of energy for cooling purposes has been increased. To meet this requirement, more amounts of fossil fuels have been burnt, and as a result, more amount of CO2 has been produced and as well as global warming has been increased. For reducing global warming problems, geothermal energy can be used to cool the desired space [1]. In India, 30% of total electricity has been consumed by the commercial sector-sand residential equipments. Out of this, 60% of electricity is used for cooling purposes [2]. Geothermal energy is an energy that is stored into the earth as a temperature. This geothermal energy is being generated by the absorption of solar energy on the earth’s surface and radioactive decompose of minerals. Geothermal heat is evaluated around 5500 °C at the earth’s core, similar to the temperature of sun’s surface [3]. S. Das (B) · A.

1.1 Utilization of Geothermal Energy The geothermal energy can be utilized in two ways such as given below [4], • Drilled bore wells at geothermal fields and use the hot water or gas of these bore wells to generate electricity. • By using geothermal heat pump with a geothermal heat exchanger for space cooling and space heating. 1.1.1

Drilled Bore Well Technologies

Electricity can be produced in three ways by drilling bore wells as given below.

Dry Steam Power Plant This is one of the simplest types of geothermal power plant. Dry steam-type power plant was first established at Larderello, Italy, in 1904. This technology is currently used in Northern California. This type of power plant uses hydraulic fluids which are available primarily in the vapour state. The stream travels from the bore wells of the geothermal field directly to the turbine and operates that. Then, the turbine operates the generator and the generator produces electricity. This hot steam eliminates the necessity to burn the fossil fuels and also eliminates the cost to store the fossil fuels [5].

Flash Steam Power Plant Among three types of geothermal power plant, flash steam power plant is the most popular type of the geothermal power plan. Fluid (>182 °C) is pumped into a tank under high pressure where the pressure of fluid has been dropped certainly and some amount of fluid has been rapidly vaporized or flashed. Then, the vapor spins the turbine, and then, the turbine starts to operate the generator for producing electricity. If any fluid stays back into the tank, then it has been flashed in a secondary tank to extract more energy. The steam is usually compressed in a direct contact-type condenser, in which the cooled water of the cooling tower has been scattered into the tank and has been mixed with the steam. Then, the circuit of the cooling water has been formed by condensed steam, and a decent part is evaporated and is distributed into the outside environment through the cooling tower. Then, the surplus cooling water is released to the skin-deep injection wells. Alternatively, tube-type condenser and direct contact condenser’s shell are being used sometimes, as shown in Fig. 1b. In this plant, the compressed steam does not touch the cooled water and has been released in injection wells. The size of this type of power plant has been varied from 5 MW to over 100 MW. Depending on the specifications of steam, pressures,
