Description of the Optimization Approach
In the previous section, the hybrid simulation approach of a combined energy
and production simulation has been outlined. In this section, an optimization
module is developed which enables the simulation-based optimization of the
energy consumption during non-value adding phases in production as well as the
elimination of consumption peaks in general, using the simulation model as an
