Optimising with Material Flow Management - MFM
Material Flow Management (MFM) aims at optimising material and energy flows in complex systems. Aside from enhancing energy saving and renewable energies MFM traces embedded energy potentials like waste to energy, energy content of food chains and other system immanent energy flows. In a second step, MFM uses market and business strategies to turn the potentials into regional added value. Thus MFM is able to take of input from DEMS
and E(ner)MAS, but the scope of options investigated by MFM, and its potential for optimisation is much larger than for E(ner)MAS and DEMS. In the framework of this project MFM will be used to further optimise the sustainability of the communal energy systems.
