The element that connects all of our research, is the combined utilisation of modeling-/ simulation tools and the experimental characterization and validation. For this purpose, we can call on a long-term experience in the fields of modeling, numerical simulation and mathematical optimisation as well as the operation of test benches and laboratory equipment.
Below is a list of our research fields and corresponding ongoing projects.
Electric Energy Storage Systems
- Technology selection and dimensioning methodology for energy storage systems
- Conceptual design of hybrid energy storage systems
- Characterisation of energy storage systems based on E-P-curves
Vehicle Energy Systems
- Design of on-board energy conversion systems for the utilisation of renewable energies in aviation
- Design of fuel cell systems for automotive drive systems
Interlinked Energy and Material Conversions Systems
- Flexible Operation of Power-to-Heat/Cold systems
- Design of interlinked energy systems under consideration of spatial distribution of its components
