Research

The research and development work carried out at the chair consistently pursues the goal of primary energy savings on the basis of system optimization. Multiphysics simulations therefore form the basis for component design. For the validation of the theoretical results, a laboratory hall with the latest measurement technology is available.

Main research topics:

• Multiphysics Simulation
• 3D field and thermal calculations
• Optimized control methods in the context of system design (installation space, energy efficiency, costs)
• Alternative power generation (e.g. micro gas turbines)
• Design and calculation of system components
• Electric traction
• Hybrid/electric flying
