# Method and system for energy management in an automated storage and retrieval system

## Abstract

A method is provided for energy management in an automated storage and retrieval system, including a plurality of autonomous vehicles, the method includes: determining tasks (Lx) to be performed within a predetermined duration (tf); determining a fleet of autonomous vehicles (N) to be mobilized to perform the tasks within the predetermined duration (tf), operating parameters of the autonomous vehicles (Pj) in order to perform the tasks within the predetermined duration (tf), and/or an energy charging strategy of the autonomous vehicles (Cuj) in order to perform the tasks (Lx) within the predetermined duration (tf), such that the amount of energy consumed to perform the tasks (Lx) within the predetermined duration (tf) is minimal.
