Abstract
Resources facilitating energy driven manufacturing operations are limited and integration of renewable sources into supply increases volatility of availability. In addition to aligning energy supply to demand, aligning demand to energy availability can help to avoid losses for oversupply and costly reserve power stations causing high energy prices. Therefore in manufacturing industry staff members with responsibility for process planning and control should behave energy aware. Today there often is a lack of motivation for energy related organisational changes, especially in sensitive manufacturing systems. This work presents information requirements for increasing this motivation with the example of electricity.
