MobiliseThe goal of this line of research is to plan and design the mobility of tomorrow and to provide scientific and interdisciplinary support. Within the scope of numerous projects in the fields of digitalisation, energy system transformation, production and lightweight construction, scientists are developing approaches to solving current social, ecological, technological and economical challenges.Year: 2017Funding: Ministry of Science and Culture - Lower SaxonyDuration: 5 Years

FuSy - Functional Safety of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines in Electric VehiclesIn drive systems using permanent magnet synchronous machines, machine or converter errors might cause critical states in the drive system. For example in the field weakening range, overvoltages might occur at the motor terminals. Other effects might be high braking or oscillating torques, leading to critical driving situations.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel MertensYear: 2015Funding: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi)Duration: 3 Jahre

Speed2E - Innovative Ultra High-Speed Multistage Concept for Electrified Power Trains in VehiclesThe overall goal of the BMWi-funded joint project Speed2E is the development, optimization and construction of a high-speed power train for use in electric vehicles. Increasing the speed of an electric drive bears the potential for increasing the electrical machine's power density and the vehicle's overall efficiency considerably. In today’s electric vehicle drive topologies, speeds of 15,000 rpm maximum are common practice. However, the Speed2E project aims at speeds up to 30,000 rpm.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard PollYear: 2014Funding: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)Duration: 3 Years

QuiCar-electric - Identification of an energetically optimised and profitable concept for e-car sharing operationThe successful marketing of e-car sharing still faces a number of unsolved challenges. Thus, high investments for vehicles and for the necessary, appropriate software are to be made. At the same time, substantiated knowledge of customer expectations and market development is still lacking. Further problems arise from the dimensioning and operation of electric vehicles and the necessary infrastructure. This includes e.g. the optimization of vehicle components, the driver assistance systems for short-term use, the installation of appropriate charging infrastructure in the (semi-) public space, ensuring correct loading interface and demand-driven charging strategies as well as handling the range restrictions. Therefore, new (vehicle-) technical solutions are required, adapted to the determining factors of the use of car sharing.Led by: Prof. Dr. rer. Nat. Michael H. BreitnerYear: 2013Funding: Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development (BMVBS)Duration: 3 Years

Demand Response - The car as an active memory and virtual power plantElectric vehicles are intended to provide significant contribution to the stabilization of the electric grid by compensating a part of the weather-related strongly fluctuating power generation from renewable energy resources. For this purpose, the charging behavior of 40 electric vehicle users was examinedLed by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

Mobil4e - College offensive eMobility for training and continuing education - Learn, experience, live electric mobility!The federal government has the objective to bring one million electric vehicles onto German roads by 2020 and thereby to make transport more sustainable. The ongoing expansion of electromobility in Germany requires a promptly in-service training and further education for academics. Thus there is no market for electromobility yet, education in Germany as well as on international ground is facing a great challenge. Therefore a holistic approach involving all core competences is necessary. Until now this approach is missing on the field of in-service training and further education. To create and develop the holistic approach research efforts as well as interdisciplinary work is required.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd PonickYear: 2013Funding: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)Duration: 3 Years

E-Antrieb.Net - Development and production environments for electric powertrains in KMU- focused network (2nd funding period)The research project e-Antrieb.NET was accepted through the call "Leittechnologien für Morgen" by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi). The topic of this project is the coordination of different part projects concerning the electric powertrain. It is divided into two application stages.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd PonickYear: 2013Funding: Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi)Duration: 2 Years

BEREIT - Affordable Electrical Range by ModularityThe long-term goal of resource and climate friendly mobility requires energy-efficient vehicles with new affordable drive concepts. Electric drives in general and plug-in hybrids in particular help to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, but they are still more expensive than combustion motors.Led by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel MertensYear: 2013Funding: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), German Aerospace Center (DLR)Duration: 3 Years, 3 Month
