Addressing the challenge of improving battery quality while reducing high costs and
environmental impacts of the production this book presents a multiscale simulation approach
for battery production systems along with a software environment and an application procedure.
Battery systems are among the most important technologies of the 21st century since they are
enablers for the market success of electric vehicles and stationary energy storage solutions.
However the performance of batteries so far has limited possible applications. Addressing this
challenge requires an interdisciplinary understanding of dynamic cause-effect relationships
between processes equipment materials and environmental conditions.The approach in this book
supports the integrated evaluation of improvement measures and is usable for different planning
horizons. It is applied to an exemplary battery cell production and module assembly in order to
demonstrate the effectiveness and potential benefits of the simulation.
