Embodiment Construction

[0033] Hereinafter, the present invention will be discussed in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the drawings are not intended to limit the invention to the depicted subject matter.

[0034] A typical prior art automated storage and retrieval system 10 having a frame structure 100 is described in the background section above.

[0035] The container handling vehicle track system 108 allows the container handling vehicle 201 to move horizontally between different grid locations, where each grid location is associated with a grid cell 122 .

[0036] In FIG. 1 , storage grid 104 is shown as having a height of 8 grid units 122 . However, it should be understood that the storage grid 104 may in principle be of any size. Storage grid 104 may be much wider and / or longer than disclosed in FIG. 1 . For example, grid 104 may have a horizontal extent of more than 700×700 storage columns 105 . Furthermore, grid 104 may be mu...

Abstract

A system and method for power management of an automated storage and retrieval system (1), the system comprising: a plurality of container handling vehicles (201, 301) having at least one rechargeable power source for handling containers in a three-dimensional underlying storage grid (104); a charging device (404) for charging a rechargeable power source (405) of the container handling vehicle (201, 301); the power supply (401) is used for supplying power to the storage system (1); a monitoring system (402) for monitoring an energy price, where the monitoring system (402) is configured to continuously update the power manager with the energy price, and the power manager is configured to adapt a power policy to the system according to the energy price.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for power management of automated storage and retrieval systems, and more particularly, to systems and methods for power management of automated storage and retrieval systems where power management is dependent on current energy prices and future energy prices. Background technique [0002] Figure 1 discloses a typical prior art automated storage and retrieval system 1 having a frame structure 100, and Figures 2 and 3 disclose two different prior art containers suitable for operation on such a system 1 Transport vehicles 201,301. [0003] The frame structure 100 includes a plurality of upright members 102 and a plurality of horizontal members 103 supported by the upright members 102 . The members 102, 103 may generally be made of metal, such as extruded aluminum profiles. [0004] The frame structure 100 defines a storage grid 104 comprising storage columns (storage columns) 105 arranged in rows, ...
