1. Advise on public/private cooperation for the application of waste heat outside the Tata Steel company
Info: As biggest energy consumer of the Netherlands, Tata Steel IJmuiden also has a tremendous quantity of waste heat (flue gasses, water and material). As much as possible this is used internally. But there also remains much waste heat for which there are no projects yet with sufficient financial yield. Technically there are many options to apply the waste heat, like Organic Ranking Cycles, domestic heating. Such options dont pass the financial yield criteria. Assigment: So the question is how to apply waste heat by means of cooperation with partners with lower financial thresholds for project selection? How should such a cooperation look like? What are the pros and cons in financial and organisation point of view? Place to work: You will be working within the Energy Efficiency team of Tata Steel.

2. Establish the work on Energy Management System, i.e. develop a KPI tree
Due to global warming and rising energy prices, energy efficient production is pushed to the top of the agenda in production management. The Energy Efficiency team has identified and implemented several improvements with regard to energy efficiency. But the improvements should be maintained and secured in the production process. Therefore, it is important to embed the management of energy efficiency in the organisation. An energy management system (ISO 50.001 standard) facilitates the incorporation of energy efficiency management in the organisation. At this moment, Tata Steel is in the start up phase for the implementation of an energy management system. Tata Steel is facing challenges with regard to the following research directions: How to establish an energy management system to control and maintain the implemented improvements? How to comply to the continuous improvement requirement of ISO 50001 and use the existing Tata Tools for improvements. Establish a KPI tree to identify and manage energy efficiency performance? Design KPIs for the shop floor for works which have a significant contribution to the IJmuiden energy-efficiency KPI.

3. Optimise production and consumption of works arising gases within safety boundaries (by means of simulation)
Tata Steel in IJmuiden produces 3 types of energy containing gasses. These are used inside the works next to natural gas. Excess of these gasses are transported to a power plant. To a little extend gasholder capacity is available. In emergency cases the gasses are flared. Assigment: Develop a simulation tool for the site which should make it possible to study ways of working in order to maximise the result of the overall gas configuration taken into account safety boundaries. Assigment: Develop a simulation tool for the site which should make it possible to study ways of working in order to maximise the result of the overall gas configuration taken into account safety boundaries. Work out options to extend the natural gas replacement program

4. Advise on the optimisation possibilities of electricity consumption over time

Price of electricity varies over time. What possibilities are there on the production site of Tata Steel in IJmuiden to optimise electricity cost? What should be the method to optimise electricity cost? Price of electricity varies over time. What possibilities are there on the production site of Tata Steel in IJmuiden to optimise electricity cost? What should be the method to optimise electricity cost? Develop a tool to reduce electricity costs by making use of varying E market prices, which can be used in a 24/7 industry.

5. Redevelop the overall energy configuration on site as an ideal situation

The production site of Tata Steel IJmuiden developed over time. Given the production installations as they are now, what would be the ideal energy configuration to supply the various works with energy. This developed set up should be useful for having a point on the horizon for setting future directions.

6. Advise on how to move from energy efficiency to continuous improvement on energy consumption
Due to global warming and rising energy prices, energy efficient production is pushed to the top of the agenda in production management. By the use of a systematic and intensive analysis method of consumed energy, the Energy Efficiency program has identified and implemented several improvements with regard to energy efficiency performance. Furthermore, an energy management system will be implemented to embed energy efficiency in the organisation with as target to maintain and improve continuously in energy efficiency performance. In the ideal situation, the continuous improvement in energy consumption will be realised by the employees at the lowest hierarchical levels in the organisation. Tata Steel is interested in the required activities to approach the ideal situation. In other words, how can we involve the production workers to improve continuously on energy efficiency.
