A review of literature on simulation-based optimization of the energy efficiency in production

Due to rising resource prices, the sustained use of energy has become a basic requirement for manufacturing companies to competitively perform on the market. Designing production processes therefore not only requires the consideration of logistical and technical production conditions but also the consistent optimization of resource consumption. As simulation technology has become a common tool for assessing dynamic production processes, the consideration of energy-related issues in this context is becoming a more frequent subject. The aim of this literature research is to summarize the current state-of-the-art in the field of energy management in production and its adjacent disciplines as well as to identify future research priorities for the simulation-based optimization of energy aspects. The accomplishment of this objective requires a methodological review focusing on the multidisciplinary combination of simulation technologies, including hybrid simulation, the integration of mathematical optimization approaches, and the domain-specific knowledge of energy-related subjects in production systems.
