全球市场竞争的加剧迫使工业制造商通过增加灵活性、提高质量和降低生产成本来开发生产系统。在仿真技术的帮助下，可以增强对制造系统的理解，并测试替代解决方案。因此，近年来，仿真在工业发展中发挥了重要作用。与此同时，与其他欧洲国家的能源成本相比，瑞典的能源成本处于历史低位，因此与能源相关的成本一直被瑞典工业界忽视。能源市场的发展，加上未来价格的不确定性，增加了对能源效率的需求。本文所描述的研究重点是利用离散事件仿真来提高制造工厂能源系统的效率分析的方法。重点放在用电量上。本文简要介绍了这些方法的主要特点，并描述了在瑞典铸造业进行的四个案例研究的结果。该方法通过确定那些重要的过程、必须开展的活动和可以开展的分析类型来提高效率。
The increased competition in the global market-place is forcing industrial manufacturers to develop their production systems by increasing flexibility, improving quality and lowering production costs. With the help of simulation techniques, the understanding of manufacturing systems can be enhanced and alternative solutions can be tested. Simulation has, therefore, played an important role in industrial development in recent years. At the same time, energy-related costs have been neglected by Swedish industry due to historically low energy costs in Sweden, in comparison with such costs in other European countries. The developments in the energy market, with uncertainty concerning future prices, have increased the need for energy efficiency. The research described in this paper focuses on methodologies developed to enhance the efficient analyses of energy systems in manufacturing plants by using discrete event simulation. The focus is on electricity use. The paper briefly presents the main features of the methodologies and describes the results from four case studies carried out in the Swedish foundry industry. The methodology improves efficiency by identifying those processes that are important, the activities that must be undertaken and the types of analyses that can be undertaken.
