Abstract
The paper presents a methodology for managing the energy costs of multi-element combined machine-tractor units. Effective management of energy loses leads to increased efficiency of operation. The problems of optimal speed and minimum energy consumption are considered. For the machine-tractor aggregate the power consumption is calculated for two control modes and two radii. It is established that performing a turn with an unstable turning radius leads to a reduction in the energy consumption for the turn.
