Abstract
This chapter provides a review on the state of the research illustrating the status of current research approaches on improving the energy performance of machine tools. It begins with a short description of relevant approaches classified according to their specific focus within the process of energy performance management. An analysis of the approaches is then conducted evaluating the objectives and constraints in order to obtain a comparative overview about the state of research. In view of the evaluation of approaches, the further need for research is deduced to bridge the energy efficiency gap of machine tools.
