The integrated decision support model for the implementation of the project to introduce an innovative product "flow battery stack"

A systematic interdisciplinary comprehensive study is presented. The object is the process of preparation and decision-making related to the implementation of the project to introduce an innovative product “vanadium flow redox battery stack”. The subject is a combination of methods of system analysis along with economic and mathematical methods to support the adoption of such a decision. The goal is the financial and economic support for the conditions of the project to introduce new products. For these purposes, a number of objectives were accomplished. A comprehensive model based on the product life cycle model has been developed, which enables the pre-project and project stages of project implementation with consideration to the model of product life cycle, distributed cash flow, calculation of the break-even point regardless of the time factor. The simulation results were compared, and the model verification and validation were evaluated. An algorithm has been developed, and calculations have been carried out for each stage of the model. In terms of practical significance, the obtained integrated result is a developed operational, adaptive, low-cost human-machine decision support system for choosing optimal options through simulation modeling. This system can be used as a template for both educational and production purposes, including formulating the requirements for technical and economic calculations as well as substantiation of objectives for the development of project materials. The scientific (academic) significance of the presented research is seen in the development of the author's original direction – the instrumental and methodological approach to the adaptation of the triple helix model in the context of Russia – at the meso-/micro-levels (in the sectoral / regional) cross-section.
