Abstract
Operation of a cane preparation unit is disclosed which can include providing a working range for at least one operating variable for a plurality of carriers of a cane preparation unit, estimating energy consumed corresponding to a first plurality of set points for the at least one operating variable, selecting one or more first set points corresponding to reducing (e.g., minimizing) energy consumed for the at least one operating variable as use set points, and operating the cane preparation unit at the use set points.
Claims10
A method for operating a cane preparation unit, the method comprising:
- providing a working range for at least one operating variable for a plurality of carriers of a cane preparation unit;
- estimating energy consumed by the cane preparation unit when operated with a first plurality of set points for the at least one operating variable;
- generating one or more first set points, to reduce energy consumed for the at least one operating variable, as use set points;
- and
- operating the cane preparation unit at the use set points.
A system comprising:
- an energy optimizing unit configured for:
- providing a working range for at least one operating variable for a plurality of carriers of a cane preparation unit;
- estimating energy consumed by the cane preparation unit when operated with a first plurality of set points for the at least one operating variable;
- generating one or more first set points, to reduce energy consumed for the at least one operating variable, as use set points;
- and
- outputting the use set points for operating a cane preparation unit.
A cane preparation unit comprising:
- a plurality of carriers coupled to each other, and configured for carrying out a predetermined function based on at least one operating variable;
- and
- an energy optimizing unit for generating use set points for each of the plurality of carriers based on reducing energy consumed for the at least one operating variable for the cane preparation unit.
