China, the world's biggest energy consumer, is now facing a severe challenge in energy supplies. While industrial production contribute most of the energy consumption and pollution in China, it is necessary to optimize its energy management. This paper will focus on energy consumption management of industrial enterprise and build a simulation model using system dynamics. A case study will be introduced and conclusion will be given.

“…Focussing on welding processes as the prevalent manufacturing process in the rail car industry, the specific energy demand per welded length is used. The indicator was defined as the accumulated energy over all considered process states and the whole production sequence, divided by the total length of weld created in that time [6]. Dominant factors influencing the indicator are found within the areas of:…”

Abstract. This paper presents an alternative boom design for mobile cranes and a method to produce it for minimizing the energy consumption during its production. The main change in the production of the crane booms is the shape of the booms. Normally, two symmetric boom parts are manufactured and, then, these parts are welded by two welding processes. In the proposed design, only one part is manufactured and bended at rst. Therefore, one welding will be su cient and a more energy-friendly process is achieved. With the proposed shape, the corner joints are eliminated when forming the boom shape, without any need to produce them beforehand. Single welding process is applied to minimize energy consumption during the manufacturing of the boom; thus, the welding quality becomes more important. In order to satisfy the welding quality, a welding manipulator is designed and manufactured. By using this welding manipulator, used in a closed area, and the applied lter devices, the harmful gases are not released to the operator and the environment. Finally, the energy and time required during the plasmacutting process of boom parts are decreased by about 41% and the energy consumption during the welding process is decreased by about 53% compared to the traditional methods.
