Our current research projects are:

Dynstart - Start-up and Transient Behavior of Power Plants

The research project "Compound DYNSTART: Start-Up and Transient Behaviour of Power Plants" will investigate the capabilities of power plants with and without CCS technologies to provide residual loads in future energy markets.

Nakulek - Natural circulation cooling for power electronics

By means of 1D and 3D simulation models a components of a demonstrator system for the cooling of onboard power electronics are developed

TOICA - Thermal Overall Integrated Concept Aircraft
The European TOICA project intends to radically improve the way thermal studies are performed within aircraft design processes. Its goal is to create a platform for collaborative modeling and simulation of the thermal behavior of aircraft airframe systems, equipment and components.

CoHeReNT - Control of Heat Recovery Networks
The aim is to develop a development platform that allows the engineer to efficiently estimate the temporal propagation of a malfunction within the production system in the first stage. Furthermore in the second stage the platform is to allow an estimation of the cost that would be necessary to reduce the propagation of the malfunction to a minimum, thus ensure a stable process control.

Our completed research projects are:

MoMoLib - Modelling Fluid Properties for R134a and Humid Air
XRG Simulation will develop in this Clean Sky joint research project two media models Tetrafluoroethane (R134a) and Moist Air (from -100°C to +250°C).

DynCap - Dynamic Capture of CO2
The research project “Dynamic investigation of Clausius-Rankine processes with CO2 capture for supply of operating reserve” will evaluate the processes for capture and storage of CO2. The focus of the study is the transient behaviour of the plant and the question: How can plants with CO2 capture contribute to the supply of operating reserve? The Modelica library ClaRaCCS will be created during the research project. ClaRaCCS stands for Clausius-Rankine with Carbon Capture and Storage.
