Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur Leipzig - Faculty ING, Institute PAES, Wiener Bau

The Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK Leipzig) combines practice-oriented teaching and application-oriented research. The university's unique regional selling point is its broad engineering and technical profile. Together with the fields of business, social affairs and culture, HTWK Leipzig offers a wide range of teaching and research opportunities. Around 6,600 students are currently enrolled. With third-party funding of currently more than 21 million euros per year, HTWK Leipzig is one of the most research-intensive universities of applied sciences (HAW) in Germany.

Self-sufficient model-based energy management

Design and simulation of a self-sufficient energy management system

Working field:

As part of a research project, the climate-neutral charging infrastructure for small electric vehicles (e.g. e-bikes, e-scooters, e-mopeds) is to receive a decisive innovation boost. Building on the existing basic system of photovoltaics and energy storage (“PV-Port”), the City-Port is being developed as a new type of street furniture that provides charging energy around the clock - completely self-sufficiently and 100% with solar power. A central element of this is the energy management system (EMS), which maximizes efficiency through predictive control and monitoring of system, switching and measurement technology and ensures reliable operation even without a grid connection.
Another focus is on the integration of a machine learning algorithm for the automatic detection of connected consumers and for forecasting short-term energy requirements. This involves acquiring suitable training data, training the model and implementing it on edge-capable hardware. In addition, a communication infrastructure is being developed that networks several city port modules with each other, exchanges system parameters in real time and thus supports the rapid return on investment (ROI) for the operator.
The system is rounded off by an intuitive human-machine interface in the form of a smartphone app: users can reserve and activate charging points and view the current charging status and remaining charging times. The HiWi position offers you the opportunity to participate in all of these sub-areas - from hardware design and software implementation to evaluation and optimization of the overall system.
