1. A method for determining an energy consumption of a production system, comprising:

  • a) determining a physical load profile of the production system for each individual region of the production system separately over a period of time comprising a day as a function of operating variables of the production system which describe at least a basic weight of the production system and a weight of a physical load via a load-calculating device;

    b) estimating an energy requirement of the production system via an energy-calculating device by utilizing the determined physical load profile and an electromechanical model of the production system;

    c) determining an energy model of the production system via the estimated energy requirement, at least one of the operating variables being assumed to be constant, and a power table being determined as a function of the operating variables not assumed to be constant;

    d) determining the energy consumption of the production system via the load-calculating device as a function of the energy model and a physical load at least one of transported and processed aided by the production system; and

    e) operating the production system based on the determined energy consumption of the production system to reduce a rate at which the production system consumes energy.
