CANE PREPARATION UNIT AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

A method for operating a cane preparation unit is described. The method includes providing a working range for at least one operating variable for a plurality of carriers of a cane preparation unit, estimating energy consumed corresponding to a first plurality of set points for the at least one operating variable, selecting one or more first set points corresponding to minimum energy consumed for the at least one operating variable as use set points, and operating the cane preparation unit at the use set points. The cane preparation unit includes an energy minimizing unit to implement the method described herein.
