Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a belt conveyor (1) and to a method for determining an energy consumption of a belt conveyor (1) based on conveyor belt segments (8) or based on installation sections (13) of the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor comprises at least one drive for driving a conveyor belt (2) consisting of conveyor belt segments (8). The belt conveyor (1) has a control device (10) which is supplied with signals from a first sensor system (18) for sensing the energy consumption of the drive (7) and from a second sensor system (24) for sensing loading which can be assigned to a section of the conveyor belt (2) and from a third sensor system (11) for detecting connecting sections (9) between conveyor belt segments (8). The control device (10) is used to determine an energy consumption based on installation sections (13) and/or conveyor belt segments (8).
