Application of a Multi-Objective Optimisation (MOO) via Pareto Front to the Energy Performance of a Domestic Oven

The growing demand for environmentally sustainable technologies is driving the adoption of increasingly stringent energy regulations across Europe. The residential sector is particularly impacted, not only through requirements for highly insulated buildings but also through stricter standards for household appliances. Among these, domestic ovens represent a critical target, requiring manufacturers to develop technologies that support laboratory testing while reducing energy consumption. This work proposes a tool to support manufacturers during laboratory testing by applying a multi-objective optimisation approach using the Pareto front method. The code was developed in MATLAB® and aims to minimise final consumption by acting exclusively on the management of the heating element. The results obtained from the code are first tested in the Simulink® digital model of the oven and then through experimental testing. The results demonstrate that the proposed tool, specifically tailored for these systems, provides outcomes consistent with real operating conditions, while enabling a substantial reduction in laboratory testing time.
