Energy efficient control strategies have been of recent interest in literature as promising measures to reduce the energy consumed by production equipment during interruptions of part flow.

Abstract

Energy efficient control strategies have been of recent interest in literature as promising measures to reduce the energy consumed by production equipment during interruptions of part flow. A general time-based control policy is analyzed. Machine idle times are assumed stochastic and the expected value of the energy consumed per produced part is reduced while assuring a certain target of expected production rate. The startup time required to resume the service depends on the time period the machine stays in a low power consumption state. Since the startup is often related to one or more machine components, the optimal policy might be to partially switch the machine. Therefore, a policy acting at component level is also analyzed where the duration of the startup depends on the set of machine components that are switched off. The policy is compared to state-of-the-art policies and discussed for a set of simulated numerical cases representing several production environments.
