Development of a Load Profile Generator for Non-road Mobile Machinery

This research presents a Load Profile Generator model for non-road mobile machinery, which depicts the most common operational profiles that reflect real-world conditions. This technological bottom-up model enables users to parameterize specific machines for simulation and observe their power demand at the actuator interfaces. The application of the Load Profile Generator covers different non-road mobile machinery categories, such as construction, agriculture, industrial and forestry. In this study, the Load Profile Generator was used to demonstrate common operations of material handler and forest forwarder, which have been validated against real-world data to match the results. The usage of Load Profile Generator aids engineers in evaluation machines performance by developing operation strategies. It opens doors to further systems analysis as it can serve as an interface for energy demand calculations. The model's results are accurate enough to provide a sufficient understanding of a wide range of non-road mobile machinery load profiles as well as insights about alternative fuel and power supply concepts helping in optimising the system simulation.

Which Top Energy-Intensive Manufacturing Countries Can Compete in a Renewable Energy Future?

In a world increasingly powered by renewables and aiming for greenhouse gas-neutral industrial production, the future competitiveness of todays top manufacturing countries is questioned. This study applies detailed energy system modeling to quantify the Renewable Pull, an incentive for industry relocation exerted by countries with favorable renewable conditions. Results reveal that the Renewable Pull is not a cross-industrial phenomenon but strongly depends on the relationship between energy costs and transport costs. The intensity of the Renewable Pull varies, with China, India, and Japan facing a significantly stronger effect than Germany and the United States. Incorporating national capital cost assumptions proves critical, reducing Germanys Renewable Pull by a factor of six and positioning it as the second least affected top manufacturing country after Saudi Arabia. Using Germany as a case study, the analysis moreover illustrates that targeted import strategies, especially within the EU, can nearly eliminate the Renewable Pull, offering policymakers clear options for risk mitigation.
