Abstract

Within the first chapter, two research questions have been formulated, the current state of technology has been summarized in Chap. 2, followed by reviewing and summarizing existing research (Chap. 3). As a result, research demand has been identified. Therefore, this chapter starts with a definition of main objectives for a novel concept which aims at fulfilling identified research demand. Concept-specific requirements are derived in a next step. Thereon, a planning and improvement framework to establish the concept’s role in a manufacturing company is briefly introduced. The concept’s overall structure is provided and its elements and interactions described. The remainder of the chapter is structured along the concept’s system behavior model elements, which are qualitatively and mathematically described in each corresponding subsection. The chapter closes with a description of an application cycle and an intermediate concluding summary.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term manufacturing management is used here instead of the more general term production management introduced in Chap. 2 (theoretical background) to highlight the manufacturing focus.

  2. 2.

    The term losses is used here to differentiate from a desired energy outflow from the battery, although losses are, with regards to the law of conservation of energy, one type of outflow from the system.
