Abstract

Goal

On behalf of the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine tools and Forming Technology IWU in Zittau
it is the task to develop an H2-scooter as a demonstrator of technology. For this reason, a
suitable frame must be developed. This frame shall be dimensioned and optimized in terms of
the occurring stress load. Subsequently, the frame will be produced in an additive
manufacturing process. The assembly and test of the H2-scooter in cooperation with the
second group in the subject “Mechatronics Project Work” (dimensioning H2-drive system) will
complete this task.

Abstract

Goal

On behalf of the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU in Zittau, it is the task to develop a H2-scooter as a demonstrator of technology. For this reason, a small mobile fuel cell must be integrated into the drive system of an E-scooter. The goal of this task is to develop and test the intersection between fuel cell and battery of the drive system. Moreover, the H2-drive system resulting from that shall be implemented into the H2-scooter and the overall system should be checked in a final test.

Note: The work will be realized in regular and close cooperation with the fellow students in the second group of subject “Mechatronics Project Work“.

Abstract

Student Research Assistant / Internship
Topic: Design and Implementation of an Automation Concept for a solarpowered Rail Car
Aim:
The research project „Mit der Solardraisine durch die Oberlausitz“ aims to
reuse abandoned railway lines by solar-powered rail cars for touristic
purposes. Therefore, alternative driving concepts have to be developed and
tested exemplarily. The first step is to convert the rail car and upgrade the
classic driving unit using a solar power unit, rechargeable batteries and other
driving components e.g. from e-bike sector.
The offered student work includes the design, implementation and
automation of the new driving concept.
Tasks:
• Survey on e-mobility and autonomous transportation
• Assessment and development of an automation concept for the
driving unit evaluating different approaches
• Implementation of the chosen automation concept
• Validation and improvement considering the driving unit construction
concept
• Documentation of results

Abstract

Student Research Assistant / Internship / Diploma Thesis
Topic: Survey of Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) of Carnot Batteries

Aim:
The task includes the investigation of short-, medium- and long-term development of energy markets related to the providing of large amounts of renewable and disposable energy using sector coupling storage systems. Here, basic investigations are on Key Perfomance Indicators (KPI's), which are most essential for a profitable commercialization of Carnot Batteries. Furthermore, medium- and long-term progress of economic viability depending on the market segment and technical parameters of Carnot Batteries is of particular interest.

Tasks:
• Literature survey about operating modes, classifications and relevant technical properties (flexibility, performance, capacity, efficiency and so on) of Carnot Batteries
• Analysis of energy markets and market segments considering sector coupling characteristics
• Deduction of short-, medium- and long-term development scenarios for providing disposable renewable energy considering targets of energy politics
• Development of marketing strategies for Carnot Batteries considering technical parameters
• Deduction of Key Perfomance Indicators (KPI’s), which are most essential for commercialization of Carnot Batteries
• Documentation of results in a written Report / Diploma Thesis

Abstract

Conduct a literature review in the field of modeling and operation optimization of microgrid with batteries energy storage. Focus on the relation between lifetime power capacity and type of operation (state of charge).
Using Matlab or Python modeling environment create a simulation model (or script) of a microgrid including an uncontrolled load as a consumer (end-user) and energy storage in the form of batteries. This microgrid is connected to the main grid where prices of the electricity vary with time (real-time pricing).
Develop a real-time optimizing control that will minimize the cost of operation of this microgrid, considering the smart use of battery packs based on increasing their lifetime. It is recommended to use the economic model predictive control and dependence between the depth of discharge and expected average cycles of life.
Test the model with the controller. If the performance is satisfactory, explore the model with different battery configurations.
