A Petri-net Based Approach for Evaluating Energy Flexibility of Production Machines

摘要

Nowadays production systems are faced with new turbulences in energy-markets due to the increasing use of renewable energy sources. Therefore, production systems and their machines have to be energy flexible. This paper provides an approach for evaluating energy flexibility of production machines based on a Petri-net modelling of machine behaviour. Furthermore, an application of the evaluation on two different machines is given.
