SUPRA-1
SUPRA refers to efficient and sustainable production strategies in batch production, namely peak power reduction. In it,
- existing KPIs for sustainable production, e.g. Franz Haas’ EEC (energy efficiency coefficient) will be applied.
- new KPIs for sustainable production will be developed.
Goals
By using the methods developed in the strategic project “MFP 4.2.3 – Cognitive Energy Management Systems in Industrial Production Systems” (ENERMAN-1) executed in funding period 1, new methods for power demand peak detection (e.g. edge device) and prediction methods (e.g. machine learning), with high relevance to machining processes were investigated. Based on the this, the SUPRA project refers to develop and apply new sustainability-KPIs focusing on peak power reduction.
Approach
The project starts with a literature review in the topic. After that, mathematic models for peak power reduction will be derived, implemented and evaluated at shop floor level.
Expected and Achieved Results
SUPRA will reduce the peak power level of different machining processes, e.g. milling, ultrasonic machining, and therefore decreasing the power demand in batch production processes in metal industries. This will reduce the production costs and therefore achieve a competitive advantage for the participating company. The result will be a cornerstone in future sustainable production systems dealing with power demand and energy efficiency.
