Background

Drive systems such as pedelecs and electric bikes have been in vogue for some time now. The benefits in everyday life and leisure are obvious. These positive characteristics can be transferred to other systems. The e-Rowboat project aims to develop an application that increases the range of an electric vehicle using arm muscle power.

The task

By selecting suitable components, which could be chosen based on electric bicycle drives, the system properties of an electric drive are to be realized with a demonstrator.

• Understanding how electric bicycles work
• Understanding the different types of application
• Familiarization with the concept of the hybrid drive system
• Selection of electric motors
• Design of the system
• Detailed documentation.

Prerequisites

• Students of electrical engineering / control engineering / automation technology
• Training as an electrician / mechatronics engineer / mechanic desirable
• Enthusiasm for alternative drives
• Enjoyment of and interest in model making

The Department of Integrated Energy Systems

The research group "Integrated Energy Systems" conducts research into the transformation of energy supply systems with the aim of developing a system that is compatible with the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere in the future. This system is applied to the two main subject areas of energy management and energy systems technology.
