Private households constitute a considerable share of Europe's electricity consumption. The current electricity distribution system treats them as effectively passive individual units. In the future, however, users of the electricity grid will be involved more actively in the grid operation and can become part of intelligent networked collaborations. They can then contribute the demand and supply flexibility that they dispose of and, as a result, help to better integrate renewable energy in-feed into the distribution grids.
In 35 deutschen und 7 europäischen Büro- und Verwaltungsgebäuden wurden auf Basis von Monitoringkampagnen über mehrere Betriebsjahre Raum- und Außentemperaturwerte in zeitlich hoher Auflösung erfasst und der thermische Raumkomfort im Sommer standardisiert nach der Komfortnorm DIN EN 15251:2007-08 detailliert ausgewertet. Ergänzt wird die Auswertung um Kurzzeitmesskampagnen über zwei sehr warme Wochen im Sommer in unsanierten bzw. teilsanierten Bürogebäuden, errichtet im Zeitraum von 1960 bis 1975. Die untersuchten Gebäude mit ihrem jeweiligen Kühlkonzept lassen sich in sechs Kategorien einteilen: ohne Kühlung, passive, luftgeführte und wassergeführte Kühlung sowie Mixed-mode-Kühlung und Vollklimatisierung. Im Quervergleich aller Gebäude werden die Kühlkonzepte gleichermaßen nach dem thermischen Raumkomfort und thermischen Kühlenergiebezug bewertet. Detaillierte Komfortuntersuchungen nach der Europäischen Komfortnorm DIN EN 15251:2007-08 geben Hinweise auf die Wirksamkeit der eingesetzten Kühltechnologien in den jeweiligen Klimazonen. Daraus lassen sich Handlungsempfehlungen für die Planungspraxis und den Gebäudebetrieb ableiten.
Lithium–sulfur (Li/S) cells are promising candidates for a next generation of safe and cost-effective high energy density batteries for mobile and stationary applications. At present, most Li/S cells still suffer from relatively poor cyclability, capacity loss under moderate current densities and self-discharge. Furthermore, the underlying chemical mechanisms of the general discharge/charge behavior as well as Li/S-specific phenomena like the polysulfide shuttle are not yet fully understood. Here we present a thermodynamically consistent, fully reversible continuum model of a Li/S cell with simplified four-step electrochemistry, including a simple description of the polysulfide shuttle effect. The model is parameterized using experimental discharge curves obtained from literature and reproduces behavior at various current densities with fairly high accuracy. While being instructively simple, the presented model can still reproduce distinct macroscopic Li/S-cell features caused by the shuttle effect, e.g., seemingly infinite charging at low charge current densities, and suboptimal coulombic efficiency. The irreversible transport of active material from the cathode to the anode results in a voltage drop and capacity loss during cycling, which can also be observed experimentally.

Aqueous lithium–oxygen batteries are promising candidates for electric energy storage. In this paper we present and discuss a multiphase continuum model of an aqueous lithium–oxygen single cell including reactions and transport in a porous gas diffusion electrode (GDE). The model is parameterized using in-house half-cell experiments and available literature data on aqueous electrolytes. We validate our transport model with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements over a wide range of temperatures (25, 40, 55 °C) and electrolyte concentrations (0.1–2 M). We observe very good agreement between simulations and measurements during oxygen reduction conditions. A sensitivity analysis of the validated model demonstrates the influence of the porous structure on GDE performance and gives directions for the future development of electrodes.
