Abstract

The concept and mathematical models developed in the previous chapter have been implemented into a working software prototype to evaluate its applicability, usability, and contribution towards integration of variable electricity supply into manufacturing systems. Further, the prototype resembles a universally applicable, computerized calculation environment to support application according to proposed application cycle. The chapter starts with a brief discussion on implementation options and their potential applicability to develop a prototype. Simulation is chosen as a suitable method for implementation, and consequently additional background on simulation methods and validation is provided. The next section describes the developed software prototype, including its functionality, modules, inputs, and outputs as well as validation examples. The chapter closes with an intermediate conclusion.
