| Abstract: | This thesis aims to test cooling systems in different configurations to reduce electricity costs within a dairy farm. The models formulated for this research provide predictions about the behaviour of the milk cooling process. Solutions such as pre-cooling and cold storage are considered in this thesis along with detailed modeling of the same. The simulation results shows that there is reduction in electricity cost by 82% in winter and 39% in summer with the help of variable electricity prices, PV panels, water storage and groundwater. |
