Abstract
The electrification of construction machinery has created a perceptible future trend of the development of electric construction machinery collaboration systems (ECMCSs). However, there is a lack of research on energy-efficient operation of ECMCS. This paper proposes a theoretical configuration and scheduling framework promoting the applications of ECMCSs. In the configuration stage, this paper considers the effect of charging time and proposes an electric matching factor to achieve an optimal system configuration. In the scheduling stage, a multi-objective scheduling problem is formulated for achieving energy-efficient system operation, which considers the transport volume, cost and idle time. A validation of the framework was carried out using a case study that found the optimal system solution, while the advantages of the considered ECMCS compared to a fossil fuel-powered system were discussed. The impact of battery and charging technology developments was also assessed. This framework can be widely applied to deployment of ECMCSs.
期刊介绍:
Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities.
The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
