With increasing share of renewable energy, energy availability will become more volatile. To respect resulting energy consumption constraints from energy providers, to contribute to grid stability and reduce energy costs, we need to forecast energy consumption cross-line in the production planning and scheduling process. This requires product and process specific forecasting models for all operations. PSImetals applies these models to forecast and optimize cross-line schedules respecting energy availability constraints. This paper outlines deriving the forecasting models from production and EMS data. It summarizes first results of implementation in scheduling and energy balancing of a cold rolling mill.
