Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of scheduling jobs for an industrial process includes receiving jobs to be executed on machines within a manufacturing facility. A job schedule is generated based on an optimization function that minimizes total energy cost for all the machines during a time horizon based on a summation of energy cost at each time step between a start time and an end time. The energy cost at each time step is a summation of (a) a first energy cost associated with each machine in sleeping mode during the time step, (b) a second energy cost associated with each machine in stand-by mode during the time step, and (c) a third energy cost associated with each machine in processing mode during the time step. The jobs are executed on the machines based on the job schedule.
