“…Besides the energy consumption aspects of energy flexibility, the assessment of the environmental impact of the products is crucial to enable the decision-makers reaching their strategic decisions. In this respect, the study carried out in Pfeilsticker et al [31] for the manufacturing industry considers the overall production cost (composed of energy cost, inventory cost, and processing costs defined with hourly rates per machine), as well as the emissions costs due to the use of energy during the production process.…”

In recent years, the production of renewable energy has increased continuously to reduce fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and to increase energy efficiency. The challenge of industries is to integrate renewable energy systems into the existing power system of manufacturing industries. In the energy flexibility approach, the manufacturing energy demand is aligned with renewable energy availability, to improve the use of the renewable energy source. This paper aims to investigate a manufacturing system supplied by a photovoltaic plant coupled with a battery storage system. A basic storage model has been developed and implemented to pursue this issue. The model is applied in the simplified case of a manufacturing system composed of a cutting numerical control machine, which can adapt the cutting speed to align the power needed to the power supplied by the photovoltaic plant. However, the model can be extended to realistic production cases characterized by complex systems as long as the time evolution of energy consumptions are known in detail. The introduction of battery storage allows reducing the cutting speed fluctuations, improving the cutting life derived from the fatigue effect. This solution reduces the costs of the machine and improves the forecasting of the means needed for the manufacturing system. Finally, a detailed analysis of greenhouse gas reduction is discussed.

“…• Services: In contrast to existing approaches, which do not consider energy as a decisive target for manufacturing [79,80], additional services on the CoP, such as manufacturing planning and control or various optimization services, are designed taking it into account. A typical approach with respect to logistic operating curves in manufacturing planning and control was described in [81]. Since these additional services are highly individual and vary greatly between use cases, they are flexibly orchestrated using the MSB and integrated into the handling of demand flexibility by the energy flexibility management.…”

The growing share of renewable energy generation based on fluctuating wind and solar energy sources is increasingly challenging in terms of power grid stability. Industrial demand-side response presents a promising way to balance energy supply and consumption. For this, energy demand is flexibly adapted based on external incentives. Thus, companies can economically benefit and at the same time contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are currently some major obstacles that impede industrial companies from taking part in the energy markets. A broad specification analysis systematically dismantles the existing barriers. On this foundation, a new end-to-end ecosystem of an energy synchronization platform is introduced. It consists of a business-individual company-side platform, where suitable services for energy-oriented manufacturing are offered. In addition, one market-side platform is established as a mediating service broker, which connects the companies to, e.g., third party service providers, energy suppliers, aggregators, and energy markets. The ecosystems aim at preventing vendor lock-in and providing a flexible solution, relying on open standards and offering an integrated solution through an end-to-end energy flexibility data model. In this article, the resulting functionalities are discussed and the remaining deficits outlined.

“…Compared to conventional vehicles, batterydriven AGVs need more time to charge. Consequently, energy consumption and charging time can be very volatile, which has to be considered in real-life use cases to manage a possible decrease in costs and emissions (Ma et al 2021;Pfeilsticker et al 2019;Zhu et al 2018). Second, the steady increase in the complexity of markets poses a challenge on manufacturing companies, and their value creation networks increasingly facing new challenges (Bauernhansl et al 2014).…”

Light modelling, simulation, and photometric calculations are by now common tasks in the lighting design process. These practices contribute to the definition and comparison of suitable layout arrangements and help predict the impact of lighting devices. Those tasks demand the use of tools to support the simulation of different scenarios, the analyses of their pros and cons according to different criteria (e.g., health and safety, perception, aesthetics, energy consumption, and costs), and decision-making. Digital twins have emerged as relevant technologies to simulate and visualize different ``what-if'' scenarios associated with physical entities and processes. In this paper, we investigate the state-of-the-art research concerning the use of digital twins for supporting lighting analysis in the urban/outdoor context. We also present and discuss challenges and research opportunities related to the design, implementation, and validation of digital twins in this domain.
