EI TUM born on 17 February 1990 citizen of Munich, Germany accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. John Lygeros, examiner (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Prof. Dr. Gabriela Hug, co-examiner (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Sven Bohlen, co-examiner (HM, Munich) 2019 © 2019 Michaela Anna Bauer All Rights Reserved ISBN xxx-x-xxxxxx-xx-x DOI xx.xxx/ethz-a-xxxxxxxxx To my admirable grandfather and my beloved parents. Acknowledgements In May 2015, I started working in the field of stationary energy storage systems at the BMW Group. A few months later, I was honored to collaborate with the university I prioritised, ETH Zurich, and the institute I prefered to work with, Automatic Control Laboratory. On September 10, 2019, I was finally able to successfully defend my work and the skills I had acquired. Without the support of numerous people and events, I would not have been able to realise this stage of my life and would not have matured into the personality I am today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank many people for their continuous and loving support. My special thanks goes first of all to my supervisor Prof. Dr. John Lygeros, who has always promoted the scientific focus in my work with his quick comprehension and constructive feedback. After every visit, I travelled back to Munich with a suitcase full of ideas. I would like to thank my external examiner, Prof. Dr. Oliver Sven Bohlen, from the Munich University of Applied Sciences, for his close cooperation, especially within the framework of the projekt UnABESA. He was already at my side as a sparring partner before I started my work and so it is a special honour for me to be able to complete my work together with him. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Gabriela Hug, who, as a co-examiner, assessed the work with the necessary depth and thus made a considerable contribution to the quality and success of my work. Many thanks go to Benjamin Flamm, Eva Ahbe, Dr. Tony Wood and Dr. Annika Eichler - they have always share with me a office place with one of Zurich’s best views and helped me with the integration inside and outside the institute. Thank you for your warm welcome - I am sure I will continue to stay in touch with some of them. I owe Sabrina Baumann and Tanja Turner a great debt of gratitude so that during my stays at the ifa I could not feel like a visitor but as part of the institute. Both of them helped me with a lot of cordiality with the organisational topics. I would like to thank the BMW Group and in particular Soren Mohr for the op- portunity to complete an industrial doctorate in one of the driving companies in the automotive industry. A special thanks goes to Sven Esch, who made a decisive contri- bution to my personal development. His constructive criticism, his belief in me and my i Acknowledgements abilities made him the greatest motivator and best mentor I could imagine. Thank you so much for becoming a good friend who is also available to me outside the BMW doors. I would like to especially thank my student Julian Wiesmeier, who provided an excellent data input for my work with his very good master thesis. Last year, I had to harmonise my doctoral thesis with my new job at BMW. Dr. Thomas Mangel and Dr. Adrian Posselt have supported me to become fair to this double burden, in order to bring the work to its goal with sufficient perseverance and my perfectionism. Although none of the people mentioned in the following comes from the field of elec- trical engineering and information technology, they probably helped me the most. Many thanks to Sabrina Klatt and Kathrin Seibold for the countless trial readings of papers, sections of my work and my final version at the end. Thank you very much for being re- ally good friends who gave me courage and stamina through the permanent support, your warm nature and the many emotional conversations. Many thanks to Yvonne Straube, who pulled me out of my dark writing cave countless times on the most beautiful sunny days and gave me the necessary social character through an hour’s walk to pursue my goal with even greater ambition. Special thanks for the creation of the cover picture. At the end I would like to thank the most important people. My grandfather, Xaver Tremmel, from whom I have probably inherited most of my traits, has given me through his pride the necessary drive to manage this phase of life and with his loving nature he helped me to always stay with myself. The greatest anchor in my life are my parents, Johanna and Gerhard Bauer, and so I owe you not only that I am on this world, but above all that you support me in all the ways and goals I strive for. You have probably experienced most of all the ascents and descents of my doctoral thesis and have accom- panied me through all these phases with a lot of energy. Thank you for never ceasing to believe in me. My final thanks go to the work itself - to which I owe the fact that I have matured into a personality who has not only learned and researched a lot in the field of science, but above all who has learned to appreciate herself as she is and now looks forward with the necessary strength to the new challenges of life. ii Danksagung Im Mai 2015 habe ich die Beschäftigung im Umfeld der stationären Energiespeichersys- teme bei der BMW Group begonnen. Einige Monate später wurde mir die Ehre zuteil, die Zusammenarbeit mit der von mir priorisierten Universität, ETH Zurich, und dem mir gewünschten Institut, Automatic Control Laboratory, zu starten. Am 10. September 2019 durfte ich meine Arbeit und meine erlangten Fähigkeiten schlussendlich erfolgre- ich verteidigen. Ohne die Unterstützung zahlreicher Personen und Ereignisse hätte ich diesen Lebensabschnitt nicht realisieren können und wäre nicht zu der Persönlichkeit herangereift, die ich heute bin. Für die kontinuierliche, konstruktive und liebevolle Un- terstützung möchte ich mich an dieser Stelle sehr herzlich bedanken. Mein besonderer Dank gilt zunächst meinem Doktorvater Prof. Dr. John Lygeros, der mit seiner schnellen Auffassungsgabe und seinem konstruktiven Feedback stets den wissenschaftlichen Fokus in meiner Arbeit gefördert hat. Nach jedem Institutsbesuch bin ich mit einem Koffer voller Ideen zurück nach München gereist. Für die enge Zusamme- narbeit, insbesondere im Rahmen des Förderprojektes UnABESA, möchte ich meinem externen Gutachter, Prof. Dr. Oliver Sven Bohlen, von der Hochschule München be- danken. Er stand mir bereits vor Beginn meiner Arbeit als Sparring Partner zur Seite und so ist es für mich eine besondere Ehre mit Ihm zusammen meine Arbeit abschließen zu können. Ebenfalls möchte ich mich bei Prof. Dr. Gabriela Hug bedanken, die als Zweitgutachter die Arbeit mit dem nötigen Tiefgang bewertet und somit zur Güte und dem Erfolg meiner Arbeit erheblich beigetragen hat. Ein großer Dank geht an Benjamin Flamm, Eva Ahbe, Dr. Tony Wood und Dr. An- nika Eichler – Sie haben mir stets einen Platz mit einer der besten Aussichten Zürichs gewährt und haben mir bei der Integration am und außerhalb des Institutes geholfen. Danke, dass ihr mich so herzlich aufgenommen habt – ich bin mir sicher, mit einigen werde ich auch weiterhin in Kontakt bleiben. Damit ich mich bei meinen Aufenthalten am ifa nicht als Besucher, sondern als Teil des Institutes fühlen durfte, verdanke ich vor allem Sabrina Baumann und Tanja Turner. Die beiden haben mir bei den organ- isatorischen Themen mit viel Herzlichkeit beigestanden. iii Danksagung Für die Möglichkeit eine Industriepromotion in einem der treibenden Wirtschaftsun- ternehmen der Automobilbranche zu absolvieren, möchte ich mich bei der BMW Group und insbesondere bei Sören Mohr bedanken. Ein besonders großer Dank geht an Sven Esch, der vor allem an meiner persönlichen Entwicklung entscheidend beitrug. Durch seine konstruktive Kritik, seinen Glauben an mich und meine Fähigkeiten war er der größte Motivator und beste Mentor den ich mir wünschen konnte. Vielen Dank, dass du zu einem guten Freund wurdest, der mir auch außerhalb der BMW Türen zur Verfügung steht. Ich möchte mich vor allem bei meinem Studenten Julian Wiesmeier bedanken, der durch seine sehr gute Masterarbeit einen hervorragenden Dateninput für meine Ar- beit geliefert hat. Im letzten Jahr habe ich die Doktorarbeit und den Berufsalltag in Einklang bringen müssen. Thomas Mangel und Adrian Posselt haben mich unterstützt dieser Doppelbelastung Gerecht zu werden, um mit genügend Ausdauer und meinem Perfektionismus die Arbeit ans Ziel zu bringen. Obwohl keine der nun genannten Personen aus der Elektro- und Informationstech- nik stammt, haben Sie mir wohl am allermeisten geholfen. Vielen Dank Sabrina Klatt und Kathrin Seibold für das unzählige Probelesen von Papern, Abschnitten meiner Ar- beit und meiner finalen Version am Ende. Vielen Dank, dass Ihr wirklich gute Fre- unde seid, die mir durch die permanente Unterstützung, Eurer herzlichen Art und der vielen emotionalen Gespräche den Mut und das Durchhaltevermögen gegeben habt.

  • Plug-In-Electric-Vehicles-Fact-Sheet
    Plug-in Electric Vehicles June 2014 Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) use electricity from the energy grid to charge large battery packs, then use the batteries to power an electric motor. Because they are primarily powered by electricity instead of liquid fuels, these vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions. Plug-in vehicles can also generate power from a regenerative braking system, which converts kinetic energy from the vehicle’s brakes into electricity and stores it in the battery pack. Because plug-in vehicles rely on rechargeable batteries for power, each vehicle has an electric range – the maximum number of miles it can travel on battery power before it needs to recharge. Applications for these vehicles go beyond just passenger cars (though U.S. consumer passenger PEVs are the focus of this fact sheet), as there are currently plug-in electric commuter buses, utility trucks, high-performance vehicles, and motorcycles. There are two main types of plug‐in electric vehicles: All-electric vehicles (EVs) only use electric power from the grid; they do not have an internal combustion engine and do not use any type of liquid fuel. Because they have an electric motor instead of a combustion engine, they require less maintenance than most conventional cars. They do not need radiator fluid, timing belts, fuel filters, oil or oil changes. EVs use large battery packs to give the vehicle a long electric range – a typical EV will have a range of 70 to 100 miles, though some can travel up to 265 miles on a single charge. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are powered by a combination of grid electricity and liquid fuel.

  • Master Thesis
    Master Thesis Designing Value Propositions for Disruptive Innovations; Exploring Value Proposition Design in the Case of Electric Vehicles Author: J.G.A. (Jilles) Visser Student number: 10475699 Supervisor: dr. R. Bohnsack Date of submission: July 2, 2015 Study programme: MSc Executive Programme in Management Studies Track: Strategy Faculty: Faculty of Business and Economics Statement of Originality This document is written by Jilles Visser who declares to take full responsibility for the contents of this document. I declare that the text and the work presented in this document is original and that no sources other than those mentioned in the text and its references have been used in creating it. The Faculty of Economics and Business is responsible solely for the supervision of completion of the work, not for the contents. Abstract From disruptive innovation theory as well as from business model theory it has been argued that a good business model can compensate for the technological shortcomings that hinder further market penetration of a disruptive innovation. However little empirical research about this phenomenon exists. Because the value proposition is considered to be the central part of the business model, this thesis explores how value propositions are designed to increase the attractiveness of a disruptive innovation for the mainstream market. The electric vehicle, which is an example of a disruptive innovation, serves as the context for this study. By studying the value proposition, this thesis tries to respond to the quest to add more empirical insights from diverse disciplines about what factors contribute to success of the electric vehicle. Using a multiple case study approach, the value proposition of thirteen electric vehicles that are sold in the Netherlands and/or United States is analyzed.
