Dynamics of Energy Transition


Security of supply, system stability and mastering the dynamics of energy conversion of thermal power plants is another focus in interdisciplinary research. Research in this area is mainly driven by institutes from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. With the establishment of the Institute of Power Plant Technology and Heat Transfer, a system-oriented professorship has been created that acts as a connecting element and bracket.

  • SFB 871 - Regeneration of Complex Capital Goods
    The CRC 871 “Regeneration of Complex Capital Goods” (short: Product Regeneration) aims to develop scientific basics for the maintenance of complex capital goods in order to maintain or to “regenerated”  as many components as possible of the respective total system, so that functional characteristics of the capital goods will be restored or even be improved.

    Year: 2014
    Funding: German Research Foundation (DFG)
    Duration: 4 Years
  • VIPlets - Evidence of the aerodynamic potential of riblets produced by grinding and laser removal in a highly loaded axial compressor
    In order to increase the power density and the efficiency in gas turbines and in particular in aircraft engines, minimizing aerodynamic losses remains one of the main targets. An innovative approach to this is the microstructuring of the overflow surfaces of the blading with riblets known from bionics. These small longitudinal riblets can reduce flow losses in the viscous sublayer of the turbulent boundary layer.

    Funding: Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)
    Duration: 3 Years
  • ENTRIA - Disposal Options for Radioactive Residues: Interdisciplinary Analyses and Development of Evaluation Principles
    The research project ENTRIA is engaged in finding options for the disposal of high-level (heat generating) radioactive waste. Decades of discussions throughout the society and furthermore the feedback on recent political events such as the Law on Location Finding have made it very clear that this complex may not be solely solved from pure technical or natural science viewpoints.
    Led by: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Röhlig (TUC)
    Year: 2013
    Funding: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
    Duration: 5 Years
  • Adaptive Driving Concepts for IGBTs with Digital Gate Units
    The project „Adaptive Driving Concepts for IGBTs with Digital Gate Units” funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) deals with innovative methods to optimise the switching behaviour of voltage-controlled semiconductor devices. It is state-of-the-art to charge and discharge the input capacitance of these devices with a voltage source via gate resistors.
    Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Mertens
    Year: 2010
    Funding: German Research Foundation (DFG)
    Duration: 3 Years
  • AG Turbo 2020
    The German turbomachines industry has still one of the leading positions in the world. It will be enabled to hold this position also with the integration of carbon separation techniques. New business models seem not to be required.
    Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Seume

  • Implementation of SBZePoC for Single-phase Inverters
    In the last two years, a pulse modulation scheme for power electronic applications has been developed in cooperation with the Institute of Electromagnetic Theory at the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Head: Prof. Dr.-Ing. W. Mathis). The project is founded by the DFG.
