    Prototype of a coil (Ø approx. 70 cm) for wireless energy transfer between stationary charging station and electric vehicle.

    The energy transformation and the accompanying electrification of the transport sector require increased interconnection of the energy systems. High availability in the grid is of great importance when integrating electric vehicles as intelligent consumers and storage devices into the energy industry. Within the scope of the »BiLawE« project, a bidirectional inductive charging system and its economic integration into the electricity grid are realized. New sensors for live object detection, efficient inductive energy transmission (up to 11 kW), and maintenance concepts address the increased requirements on integration into the (semi) public sectors. | Duration: 01/2016 - 06/2019

    Row of thermal solar connectors on a flat roof in the building area Freiburg-Gutleutmatten.

    During this project, the decentralized integration of solar thermal energy plants into a heat supply concept based on a cogeneration unit is examined. The operation of the cogeneration unit is optimized for the best possible interaction with the power grid and the local heating network for a minimization of distribution loss. The central objective of the project is to implement and review the concept and operations management in the demonstration project Freiburg-Gutleutmatten and subsequently derive generally applicable regulations for the long-term utilization of solar thermal energy in comparable residential areas, especially in light of massively changing energy supply structures. | Duration: 06/2013 - 04/2018
