Das Projektvorhaben "Energienetzmanagement dezentraler KWK‐Anlagen mit diversen Verbraucherstrukturen", das vom Innovationsfonds der badenova AG & Co KG von Mai 2012 bis Juli 2016 unter der Fördernummer 2012‐09 gefördert wurde kann aus Sicht des Projektnehmers Hochschule Offenburg und seiner Partner Stadt Offenburg und G. und M. Zapf Energie GbR mbH als sehr erfolgreich umgesetztes Fördervorhaben bezeichnet werden. Während der ca. vier Jahre Projektlaufzeit konnten mehrere Reallabore geschaffen werden, die an die Eigenschaften eines Subnetzes in einem Smart Grid sehr nah herangeführt wurden. Alle Objekte bzw. Netzstrukturen verfügen über typische Komponenten eines Microgrids mit Energiequellen, Speichern und Senken. Auch wurde die Trigeneration als Netzvariante mit Strom‐ Wärme und Kältebereitstellung aufgegriffen und für Verteilnetzmodelle der Niederspannungsebene beschrieben. Ausgehend von einem Mikronetzmodell für jede Energieart kann hinter jeder Trafostation eine beliebig komplexe Energieversorgungsstruktur aufgespannt werden.
The paper is addressing the needs of the universities regarding qualification of students as future R&D specialists in efficient techniques for successfully running innovation process. In comparison with the engineers, the students often demonstrate lower motivation in learning systematic inventive techniques, like for example TRIZ methodology, and prefer random brainstorming for idea generation. The quality of obtained solutions also depends on the level of completeness of the problem analysis, which is more complex and time consuming in the case of interdisciplinary systems. The paper briefly describes one-semester-course of 60 hours in new product development with the Advanced Innovation Design Approach and TRIZ methodology, in which a typical industrial innovation process for one selected interdisciplinary mechatronic product is modelled.
One of the practical bottlenecks associated with commercialization of lithium-air cells is the choice of an appropriate electrolyte that provides the required combination of cell performance, cyclability and safety. With the help of a two-dimensional multiphysics model, we attempt to narrow down the electrolyte choice by providing insights into the effect of the transport properties of electrolyte, electrode saturation (flooded versus gas diffusion), and electrode thickness on a single discharge performance of a lithium-air button cell cathode for five different electrolytes including water, ionic liquid, carbonate, ether, and sulfoxide. The 2D distribution of local current density and concentrations of electrochemically active species (O2 and Li+) in the cathode is also discussed w.r.t electrode saturation. Furthermore, the efficacy of species transport in the cathode is quantified by introducing two parameters, firstly, a transport efficiency that gives local insight into the distribution of mass transfer losses, and secondly, an active electrode volume that gives global insight into the cathode volume utilization at different current densities. A detailed discussion is presented toward understanding the design-induced performance limitations in a Li-air button cell prototype.
Lithium-ion batteries show a complex thermo-electrochemical performance and aging behavior. This paper presents a modeling and simulation framework that is able to describe both multi-scale heat and mass transport and complex electrochemical reaction mechanisms. The transport model is based on a 1D + 1D + 1D (pseudo-3D or P3D) multi-scale approach for intra-particle lithium diffusion, electrode-pair mass and charge transport, and cell-level heat transport, coupled via boundary conditions and homogenization approaches. The electrochemistry model is based on the use of the open-source chemical kinetics code CANTERA, allowing flexible multi-phase electrochemistry to describe both main and side reactions such as SEI formation. A model of gas-phase pressure buildup inside the cell upon aging is added. We parameterize the model to reflect the performance and aging behavior of a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP)/graphite (LiC6) 26650 battery cell. Performance (0.1–10 C discharge/charge at 25, 40 and 60°C) and calendaric aging experimental data (500 days at 30°C and 45°C and different SOC) from literature can be successfully reproduced. The predicted internal cell states (concentrations, potential, temperature, pressure, internal resistances) are shown and discussed. The model is able to capture the nonlinear feedback between performance, aging, and temperature.
