Özet
Purpose - This paper aims to present the results of energy management and optimization studies in one Turkish textile factory. In a case study of a print and dye factory in Istanbul, the authors identified energy-sensitive processes and proposed energy management applications. Design/methodology/approach - Appropriate energy management methods have been implemented in the factory, and the results were examined in terms of energy efficiency and cost reduction. Findings - By applying the methods for fuel distribution optimization, the authors demonstrated that energy costs could be decreased by approximately. Originality/value - Energy management is a vital issue for industries particularly in developing countries such as Turkey. Turkey is an energy poor country and imports more than half of its energy to satisfy its increasing domestic demands. An important share of these demands stems from the presence of a strong textile industry that operates throughout the country.
