The energy costs‘s share in the total is increasing in producing companies. Due to variations in the energy consumption over the day, arising power peaks lead to high energy costs. Power peaks could be reduced by load management systems. But these systems could have a negative impact on logistic performance figures. A simultaneous optimization of logistic performance figures and the energy consumption is not available yet. In this article a method for the energy cost-based production scheduling is presented. This method schedules jobs on machines in a way that the energy consumption is equalized and the logistic performance (makespan, stock, job delays, workload) is ensured.

In 2022 germanys last nuclear power plants will be shut down. In addition to the decision to phase out nuclear power a worldwide shortage of fossil fuels will lead to a steady rise in energy costs. Therefore the IPH develops procedures and methods, which will help companies to reduce their energy costs.
