Approach for a Systematic Energy Data Generation and Evaluation

Abstract

Due to significantly rising energy prices, companies are urged to improve the energy efficiency of their production. The basis for implementing the intended savings are energy data analyses, which are only possible with a detailed and source-specific acquisition and analysis of energy data. However, the need for a detailed and specific analysis is competing with the requirement to keep the examination's time and effort, as well as the costs involved, as low as possible. To resolve this conflict, this paper proposes a method for analyzing energy data of machine tools, which allows for an economical and user-friendly execution of the sought-after analysis.
