If I want to consider the energy utilization in my system how would incorporate into my Flexsim model? Do I need to write any code to incorporated that energy parameter in a fixed resource?
Kindly suggest if there is any better way
is there any option in flexsim to optimize the energy Consumption(kWh)?
FlexSim 20.0.2
There is a dashboard option to calculate the financials. Maybe you cam misuse it to calculate the power usage
@maurizio.giubilato from FlexSim Italy, might have developed something on it.
One method is to assign a "cost per time" value to each state. For example, a processor might use more power while it's processing than while it's idle. Then, you can total how much power has been used. Here's a model that does this:
You could also add power based on events. Perhaps when an item gets on a processor, it might take extra energy. You could easily extend the approach in the above model to account for that kind of thing.
So yes, you can track power use in your model. And once you can track it, you can then use the Optimizer to do some optimization.
