Abstract: | |
Production companies face the challenge of reducing energy costs and carbon emissions while achieving the
logistical objectives at the same time. Active management of electricity demand, also known as Demand
Side Management (DSM) or Energy Flexibility (EF), has been recognized as an effective approach to
minimize energy procurement costs for example by reducing peak loads. Additionally, it helps to integrate
(self-generated, volatile) renewable energies to reduce carbon emissions and has the ability to stabilize the
power grid, if the incentives are set appropriately. Although production companies possess great potential
for EF, implementation is not yet common. Approaches to practical implementation for integrating energy
flexibility into production planning and control (PPC) to dynamically adapt the consumption to the
electricity supply are scarce to non-existent due to the high complexity of such approaches. Therefore, this
paper presents an approach to integrate EF into PPC. Based on the energy-oriented PPC, the approach
identifies and models EF of processes in a generic energy flexibility data model (EFDM) which is
subsequently integrated in the energy-oriented production plan and further optimised on the market side. An
application-oriented use case in the chemical industry is presented to evaluate the approach. The
implementation of the approach shows that EF can have a variety of characteristics in production systems
and a clear, structured, and applicable method can help companies to an automated EF. Finally, based on the
results of the use case, it is recommended to introduce EF in production companies stepwise by extending
existing planning and scheduling systems with the presented approach to achieve a realization of flexibility
measures and a reduction of energy costs.
