Climate change is becoming one of the most important challenges facing our generation. Many industries and enterprises have begun steps for carbon emissions reduction and management. Manufacturing and industrial processes produce large amounts of greenhouse gas and use more electricity than any other sector, which push manufacturing enterprises to apply renewable energy to mitigate emissions from their production and operations. This paper addresses a low-carbon production scheduling problem considering renewable energy. A low-carbon production scheduling system architecture is proposed. A mathematical model of the addressed problem is presented with the objective of minimizing the total carbon emissions during the whole planning horizon. A low-carbon production scheduling algorithm of the addressed problem is designed. Computational experiments have demonstrated the proposed low-carbon production scheduling considering renewable energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
