Cooling towers or recoolers are one of the major consumers of electricity in a HVAC plant. The implementation and analysis of advanced control methods in a practical application and its comparison with conventional controllers is necessary to establish a framework for their feasibility especially in the field of decentralised energy systems. A standard industrial controller, a PID and a model based controller were developed and tested in an experimental set-up using market-ready components. The characteristics of these controllers such as settling time, control difference, and frequency of control actions are compared based on the monitoring data. Modern controllers demonstrated clear advantages in terms of energy savings and higher accuracy and a model based controller was easier to set-up than a PID.
The energy system of the future will transform from the current centralised fossil based to a decentralised, clean, highly efficient, and intelligent network. This transformation will require innovative technologies and ideas like trigeneration and the crowd energy concept to pave the way ahead. Even though trigeneration systems are extremely energy efficient and can play a vital role in the energy system, turning around their deployment is hindered by various barriers. These barriers are theoretically analysed in a multiperspective approach and the role decentralised trigeneration systems can play in the crowd energy concept is highlighted. It is derived from an initial literature research that a multiperspective (technological, energy-economic, and user) analysis is necessary for realising the potential of trigeneration systems in a decentralised grid. And to experimentally quantify these issues we are setting up a microscale trigeneration lab at our institute and the motivation for this lab is also briefly introduced.
Am 1. Juli 2022 trafen sich im Rahmen des Abschlusskolloquiums des Projekts ACA-Modes rund 60 Teilnehmende aus Forschung, Lehre und Industrie zu einer internationalen Konferenz an der Hochschule Offenburg. Hier wurden die Projektergebnisse rund um die erfolgreiche Implementierung modellprädiktiver Regelstrategien vorgestellt, aktuelle Fragestellungen diskutiert und Entwicklungspfade hin zu einem netzdienlichen Betrieb von Energieverbundsystemen skizziert.
Cost effectiveness of preventive screening programmes for type 2 diabetes mellitus in Germany
(2010)
As in several other industrialized countries, Germany’s statutory health insurance (SHI) is facing rising healthcare costs as well as the challenges caused by a double-aging society. The early detection and prevention of chronic diseases is considered a possible way to reduce the impact of these developments. However, controversy surrounds the costs and effects in terms of medical and financial outcomes of such programmes.
In this paper, the Bauschinger effect and latent hardening of single crystals are assessed in finite element calculations using a single crystal plasticity model with kinematic hardening. To this end, results of cyclic micro-bending experiments on single crystal Alloy 718 in different crystal orientations (single slip and multi slip) with respect to the loading direction are used to determine the slip system related material properties of the single crystal plasticity model. Two kinematic hardening laws are considered: a kinematic hardening law describing latent hardening and a kinematic hardening law without latent hardening. For the determination of material properties for both hardening laws, a gradient-based optimization method is used. The results show that the different strength levels observed for micro-bending tests on different crystal orientations can only be described with latent kinematic hardening well, whereas the pronounced Bauschinger effect is described well by both kinematic hardening laws. It is concluded that cyclic micro-bending experiments on single crystals using different crystal orientations give an appropriate data base for the determination of the slip system related material properties of the single crystal plasticity model with latent kinematic hardening.
Die Optimierung der Auftragsterminierung und Einsteuerungsreihenfolge hat großen Einfluss auf die Produktivität von Fertigungssystemen. Genetische Algorithmen und Simulation sind verbreitete Werkzeuge zur Optimierung. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt einen neuen Ansatz zur Optimierung durch einen genetischen Algorithmus und der Simulation in dynamischen Modellen. Eine illustrative Fallstudie validiert den Ansatz und zeigt das Potenzial zur ganzheitlichen Verbesserung von Fertigungssystemen auf.
Material flow simulation is a core technology of Industry 4.0. It can analyze and improve large-scale production systems through experimentation with digital simulation models. However, modeling in discrete event simulation is considered as an effortful and time-consuming activity and challenges especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Systematic experiments and what-if-analysis require a large number of models. Modeling and simulation becomes a repetitive activity and the ability to model and simulate instantly becomes crucial for industry, 4.0. However, model generation typically uses specific methods to build models with individual properties for specific physical systems. A general literature review cannot sufficiently describe the current state of model generation. This study aims to provide an analysis of model generation based on the modeling strategy, modeling view, and production system type, as well as model properties and limitations.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is the most commonly used technique of neurostimulation. It involves the stimulation of the spinal cord and is therefore used to treat chronic pain. The existing esophageal catheters are used for temperature monitoring during an electrophysiology study with ablation and transesophageal echocardiography. The aim of the study was to model the spine and new esophageal electrodes for the transesophageal electrical pacing of the spinal cord, and to integrate them in the Offenburg heart rhythm model for the static and dynamic simulation of transesophageal neurostimulation. The modeling and simulation were both performed with the electromagnetic and thermal simulation software CST (Computer Simulation Technology, Darmstadt). Two new esophageal catheters were modelled as well as a thoracic spine based on the dimensions of a human skeleton. The simulation of directed transesophageal neurostimulation is performed using the esophageal balloon catheter with an electric pacing potential of 5 V and a trapezoidal signal. A potential of 4.33 V can be measured directly at the electrode, 3.71 V in the myocardium at a depth of 2 mm, 2.68 V in the thoracic vertebra at a depth of 10 mm, 2.1 V in the thoracic vertebra at a depth of 50 mm and 2.09 V in the spinal cord at a depth of 70 mm. The relation between the voltage delivered to the electrodes and the voltage applied to the spinal cord is linear. Virtual heart rhythm and catheter models as well as the simulation of electrical pacing fields and electrical sensing fields allow the static and dynamic simulation of directed transesophageal electrical pacing of the spinal cord. The 3D simulation of the electrical sensing and pacing fields may be used to optimize transesophageal neurostimulation.
Die Corona-Semester erforderten die Übertragung der Brückenkurse Mathematik in ein digitales Lehr-format. Gerade beim Studieneinstieg spielen persönliche Unterstützung und soziale Eingebundenheit für Studierende eine besonders wichtige Rolle. Deshalb lag die besondere Herausforderung bei der Übertragung in ein digitales Format darin, die wegfallenden üblichen Kennenlern- und Kommunika-tionsmöglichkeiten, die sich in Präsenzformaten beispielsweise in den Pausen oder im Gespräch mit den Sitznachbarn ergeben, zu kompensieren. Vorliegender Beitrag stellt vor, inwieweit der Transfer in ein digitales Format gelungen ist. Das digitale Brückenkurskonzept wurde in ein didaktisches Entwurfsmuster übertragen, um durch die strukturierte und nachvollziehbare Darstellung den Transfer und die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse zu erleichtern.
Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) durchdringt unser Leben immer stärker. Studierende werden im Alltag und an Hochschulen zunehmend mit KI-Anwendungen konfrontiert. An der Hochschule Offenburg werden deshalb KI-bezogene Lehrangebote curricular verankert, um Studierende im Erwerb von KI-Kompetenz zu unterstützen.
Der Beitrag stellt ein Konzept für die Entwicklung von Lehrveranstaltungen nach der Idee des pädagogischen Makings zur Förderung von KI-Kompetenz in der Hochschullehre vor. Konkretisiert wird das Konzept anhand eines Moduls zum Thema Chatbots, dessen Lehrinhalte interdisziplinär aus verschiedenen Perspektiven ausgearbeitet werden.
