“…The design of parameters for fuzzy-based control of staged ventilation systems was investigated by Gates et al (2001). Many papers have been published on the simulation by fuzzy logic controllers in buildings and agricultural usage (Fraisse et al, 1997;Kolokotsa, 2003;Dounis and Caraiscos, 2008;Kolokotsa et al, 2005;Jassar et al, 2009;Daskalov et al, 2006;Soldatos et al, 2005;Gottschalk et al, 2003).…”

“…Also, the Indian cold storages are mainly run on the grid electricity and their energy expenses account approximately 28% of the total costs (TERI, 2012). Therefore, the energy performance of the existing cold storage facility needs to be assessed and discussed properly because the poor performance of the storage facilities not only increase the energy consumption but also responsible for low quality of refrigerated product (Gottschalk, K., Nagy, L., 2003;Nourian, F., Ramaswamy, H.S., 2003). In recent past, few researchers have emphasized to improve the energy efficiency and operation in the potato storages in different parts of the world including India (Chourasia & Goswami, 2009;Hasse, H., Becker, M., Grossmann, K., Maurer, 1996;Marchant, A.N., Lidstone, P.H.…”

Cold storage is a key element for long term preservation and distribution of perishable items. A large quantity of perishable items is gone wastage every year due to inadequate storage facility in the countries like India. Their energy extensive refrigeration process makes them accountable for substantial share of total energy consumption in the country. Moreover, energy inefficiency in operation and building designs in the existing cold storages inhibits expansion of desirable storage facility. This study aims to explore the building and refrigeration system's parameters that may influence the overall energy consumption in the storage. A survey was conducted in ten Indian potato cold storages and detail data of their energy consumption, building construction and refrigeration systems was collected. The collected data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Trend analysis technique was also used to establish relationship between specific energy consumption and identified parameters. Results show that the utilization factor has major impact on the energy consumption in the storages and the existing cold storages are not utilizing their storage capacities fully. Comparatively higher energy consumption was observed in the cold storages that have low utilization factors. Building aspect ratios and effective U-value of the building envelop were also identified one of the crucial parameters that can play a major role to improve the energy performance of the cold storages. As expected, a negligible variation in the specific energy consumption of the storages with the specific installed refrigeration systems and AHUs was observed.

“…The same basics were also used by e.g. Verdijck (2003), Verdijck and Tijskens (2003), Gottschalk et al (2003) and Mourik et al (2010). Verdijck and van Straten (2002) used a combined modelling and control structure, whereas optimisation studies were carried out by Verdijck et al (2005b) and Lukasse et al (2009).…”
