Article Synopsis
- The study aims to optimize energy usage and lifespan of home appliances in households, focusing on minimizing costs and obsolescence.
- Using an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) method, the research ensures energy consumption stays within limits while managing appliance constraints.
- Results highlight the refrigerator as the most costly appliance in terms of maintenance, leading to strategies for replacing essential parts based on customer budgets and component degradation.
Population expansion and improving living standards, particularly in developed nations, have led to an increase in the usage of domestic electrical equipment, worldwide energy consumption, and CO emissions per capita. To limit the usage of non-reusable components and the amount of garbage that must be transferred at the end of a product's life cycle, longer-lasting electrical domestic appliances are a pillar of the circular economy. In recent years, the complexity of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in the manufacture of modern electrical devices has increased, leading to an increase in device failures.
