The "BetterBat" project addresses the interface between battery technology and its potential use in an application. "BetterBat" thus explicitly focuses on the user side and its systemic application-specific requirements, enabling target-oriented research and development, shortening the time-to-market accordingly and reducing the risk of failing to meet market requirements. "BetterBat" is intended to provide answers to the following questions, for example: For which applications can battery-electric solutions be considered today or in the future? Which battery technology is suitable for which application? What are the strengths and weaknesses and where might further research or funding be required? The work packages required to answer these questions are shown schematically in the figure below. | Duration: 03/2021 - 02/2024

Preparation of a grid-forming inverter for measurement in the Multi-megawatt Lab.
To achieve the climate protection goals, in addition to the expansion of renewable generation, renewable and storage power plants need to take over extensive system services as well as essential properties, such as the formation of the grid, for a stable power system operation at all times. To ensure that this grid-forming behavior meets the requirements for stable system operation in all grid states, new verification methods are necessary. Together with its partners, Fraunhofer ISE is developing an appropriate procedure and testing it with various grid-forming devices. On the one hand, optimizations of the verification procedure will be derived from this, and on the other hand, a comprehensive market overview of the current state of the art of grid-forming inverters will be possible. | Duration: 06/2023 - 05/2024

Schematic representation of the work packages in the »DeepTrack« project.
How should PV trackers optimally track? This question is being researched in the project »DeepTrack« together with PV Zimmermann Tracker GmbH. In DeepTrack, the latest AI and power plant simulation methods are applied to maximize the yield of complex power plants, such as Agri-PV power plants. The methods are implemented and investigated in a pilot plant at the solar test field in Merdingen. | Duration: 03/2023 - 02/2025

3D model of a fabric to model the load in the printing process.
In the age of digitization, the question arises as to how established printing technologies such as the flatbed screen printing process can be transferred into the digital space. Key challenges such as reducing structure widths or maximizing production throughput could be handled more cost-effectively and faster with the help of a digital twin. The outlined project represents an approach to digitizing the flatbed screen printing process and includes the optimization of production parameters using CFD simulation and artificial intelligence, as well as the integration of a feedback loop for live process control and adjustment. The project consortium covers a broad range of the production chain and thus enables optimal collaboration. | Duration: 04/2023 - 03/2026
