contents Demand-side energy management, such as the real-time pricing (RTP) program, offers manufacturers opportunities to reduce energy costs by shifting production to low-price hours. However, this strategy is challenging to implement when machine degradation is considered, as degraded machines have decreased processing capacity and increased energy consumption. Proactive maintenance (PM) can restore machine health but requires production downtime, creating a challenging trade-off: scheduling maintenance during low-price periods sacrifices energy savings opportunities, while deferring maintenance leads to capacity losses and higher energy consumption. To address this challenge, we propose a hierarchical bi-level control framework that jointly optimizes PM planning and runtime production scheduling, considering the machine degradation. A higher-level optimization, with the lower-level model predictive control (MPC) embedded as a sub-problem, determines PM plans that minimize total operational costs under day-ahead RTP. At runtime, the lower-level MPC executes closed-loop production scheduling to minimize energy costs under realized RTP, meeting delivery targets. Simulation results from a lithium-ion battery pack assembly line case study demonstrate that the framework strategically shifts PM away from bottlenecks and high-price hours, meeting daily production targets while reducing energy costs.
