Abstract

Energy efficiency is one of the key drivers for improving the efficiency of resource utilization in smart manufacturing. Within the manufacturing environments, the importance of energy efficiency has grown. However, in most cases the energy consumption of the manufacturing systems are considered using average energy consumption models or simple scheduling models for the needs of discrete event simulation. This paper researches on energy-efficiency scheduling based on the scenario of multi-tasks and multi-resources in smart manufacturing. The scheduling problem is analyzed and modeled as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem with constraints, such as the feasibility of time domain or space, qualification and initial state. A solution of the mixed integer linear programming which optimized by a fast algorithm based on score ranking is designed under time of use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme in smart grid, in which the electricity price varies throughout a day. The feasibility of the method is verified by simulation case. Under the premise of ensuring the reasonable allocation of manufacturing tasks, the goal of smart manufacturing process and long-term energy optimization would be achieved.
