Energy efficiency of technical building services in production environments – Application to dry rooms in battery production

Energy efficiency in industry is a key element in decreasing costs and environmental impact. This especially applies to the battery production, due to the cost-sensitivity and high potential environmental impact. A mandatory production step in the battery production is the cell assembly in dry rooms. The operation of dry rooms requires complex and energy-intensive technical building services (TBS). Thus, questions regarding energy efficiency measures for the TBS in battery production arise. This paper suggests approaches to improve the energy efficiency of dry rooms in battery production by presenting a transferable method that enables decision support and model-based control.
