Abstract

The volatility of the energy market is increasing due to the renewable energies for electricity generation. As a result the adaptation of electricity consumption to electricity generation is gaining importance. Companies can make a significant contribution by controlling their production and thus their energy consumption. Machine tools have various components such as pumps and accumulators for cooling lubricant supply which are suitable to increase the energy flexibility of the machine. In order to be able to evaluate the energy flexibility potential of individual components, strategies from production planning and control (PPC) such as demand planning were examined. Selected strategies were adapted to control the components. With a simulation of the energy consumption of a machine tool, the PPC strategies were compared by determining the energy flexible part of the components energy consumption.
