EnergieSpeicherSymposium
Institute of Technical Thermodynamics
The Institute of Technical Thermodynamics at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt -DLR) in Stuttgart, with further research facilities in Cologne, Ulm and Hamburg, does research in the field of efficient energy storage systems that conserve natural resources, and next generation energy conversion technologies with a staff of 150 scientific and technical employees, engineers and doctoral candidates. The spectrum of activities ranges from theoretical studies, to laboratory work for basic research and to the operation of pilot plants. A tight network with the University of Stuttgart -especially with the Institute of Thermodynamics and Thermal Engineering- and with the University of Ulm is existing.

12. März 2014: EnergieSpeicherSymposium 2014
Technologien zum Speichern von Energie werden in Zukunft eine entscheidende Rolle spielen. Nur mit ihrer Hilfe lässt sich das schwankende Angebot aus erneuerbaren Ressourcen wie Sonnen- oder Windkraft ausgleichen und weiterhin eine zuverlässige Energieversorgung sicherstellen. Gleichzeitig ebnen Speichersysteme in Elektro- oder Wasserstofffahrzeugen den Weg in eine mobile Zukunft über das fossile Zeitalter hinaus. Über die Speichersysteme von morgen tauschen sich Industrie und Wissenschaftler beim EnergieSpeicherSymposium des Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) am 12. März 2014 bereits zum dritten Mal aus.

Systems Analysis and Technology Assessment
Because of the inherent inertia of the energy system, any decisions taken in the energy sector have particularly long term impacts. Opportunities offered by new technologies and potential negative consequences on the environment and on society can be identified in time by provident and pro-active decision making. A pre-requisite for such a course of action is a thorough understanding of complex systems, which allows decision makers to find a balance between the technical and economic possibilities of to-day, and the long term development perspectives.

Electrochemical Energy Technology
Schwerpunkt ist die Entwicklung der Brennstoffzellentechnik einschließlich regenerativer Brennstoffversorgung und Markteinführung kompletter Nutzungssysteme. Basierend auf Grundlagenuntersuchungen zu Elektroden-Elektrolyt-Einheiten werden neuartige Herstellverfahren, Diagnosetechniken und Systemkonzepte entwickelt. Typische Aufgaben sind: Schutz- und Funktionsschichten mit DC- und HF-Vakuumplasmaspritzen für die SOFC, Stacks für den mobilen Einsatz; Entwicklung, Diagnose, Test von Wasserstoff- und Methanol- Brennstoffzellen und Stacks; Entwicklung mobiler und portabler Systeme.

Computational Electrochemistry
The further improvement of performance, durability and cost of fuel cells and batteries requires a detailed understanding of the fundamental physical, chemical, and fluid mechanical processes occurring within the cell. In the Modeling and Simulation Group, multi-scale and multi-physics models as well as modern numerical simulation methods are developed and applied. Our particular expertise is in the areas of detailed electrochemical kinetics and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The activities are dedicated to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC), as well as lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries (LIB).
