To find out the mechanical robustness of semiconductor devices, contact pads on the chip surface are intentionally overstressed with an indenter tip and the appearing oxide cracks are detected with help of the generated AE signals. This is done in a customized test bench with a patented sensor-indenter system. This paper presents an improved version of the measurement setup that solves certain disadvantages of it and can be used in a standard wafer prober. The main components of the developed sensor system are a strain gauge for contact force measurement and a piezoelectric sensor element for AE signal detection. Both components are integrated on a cantilever beam which has an exchangeable indenter tip at its free end. The cantilever probe is electrically conductive to enable electrical tests via the indenter tip. This smart sensor-cantilever combination (SCC) can be mounted with several adapter components on a carrier plate to place it in a wafer prober. For both sensor elements amplifier circuits are developed to enhance their signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). A prototype setup is shown together with simulated and experimental results to demonstrate its performance. The mechanical properties of the cantilever, as well as the force sensor and the AE crack signals, already fulfill the requirements for an implementation in a wafer prober. To further improve the sensor resolutions and detection limits, several optimizations regarding the design of the SCC are in progress.

A best- and worst-case scenario for technology development until 2050 was evolved using cross consistency analysis and morphological field, based on which the data for the ecological models were determined.The results show that the plant scale-up has a very positive effect on the ecological consequences of methanation. In the best-case scenario, the values are a factor of 23-780 lower than those of the actual plant today. A hot-spot analysis showed that especially electrolysis operation has a large impact on total emissions. The final Monte-Carlo simulation shows that the technology is likely to achieve a low GWP with a median of 104.0 kg CO2-eq / MWh CH4.

Geopolitical challenges fuel this instability and highlight the need for trusted energy partnerships to ensure energy security. To limit global warming and increase energy security, it is essential to take joint action on an international and global scale. The European Green Deal contributes to this. However, specific national actions are still needed. This research presents a way forward for a Franco-German energy transition and unlocks the potential of energy partnerships within Europe, using a cost-based, sector-coupled optimization model. Both countries are coupled via an isolated country optimization approach. Thus, the focus is on the development of each national energy system. The results highlight the increase of energy security in line with the European Green Deal. The main pillars of the energy transition are solar energy (32- 33%), wind energy (25-38%) and biogenic energy sources (13-27%). Nuclear power is being phased out in Germany and France. The results show that a Franco-German energy partnership has great potential. Overall, France can cost-effectively cover 25% of Germany’s hydrogen import needs (122 TWh) in 2050. At the same time, France can also benefit from the energy partnership in terms of economic growth and joint action to mitigate climate crisis.

A1 - Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail A1 - Saphiannikova, Marina T1 - Magnetic-field-induced stress in confined magnetoactive elastomers JF - Soft Matter N2 - We present a theoretical approach for calculating the state of stress induced by a uniform magnetic field in confined magnetoactive elastomers of arbitrary shape. The theory explicitly includes the magnetic field generated by magnetizable spherical inclusions in the sample interior assuming a non-linear magnetization behavior. The initial spatial distribution of particles and its change in an external magnetic field are considered. This is achieved by the introduction of an effective demagnetizing factor where both the sample shape and the material microstructure are taken into account. Theoretical predictions are fitted to the stress data measured using a specifically designed experimental setup. It is shown that the theory enables the quantification of the effect of material microstructure upon introducing a specific microstructural factor and its derivative with respect to the extensional strain in the undeformed state. The experimentally observed differences between isotropic and anisotropic samples, compliant and stiff elastomer matrices are explained.

T1 - Induced anisotropy in composite materials with reconfigurable microstructure: Effective medium model with movable percolation threshold JF - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications N2 - In composite materials, with field-dependent restructuring of the filler material (changes in the mutual arrangement of inclusions), the presence of an external magnetic field induces anisotropy of the dielectric properties, even if the composite is isotropic in the absence of an external field. A modified effective medium approximation is proposed for the calculation of the components of effective permittivity within a class of composites with reconfigurable microstructure, where both phases (the filler and the matrix) are isotropic and the inclusions have spherical shape. The effective physical properties are calculated in the parallel and perpendicular directions to an applied field. The appearance of the anisotropy of the permittivity is simulated by the introduction of two not-equal, possibly variable (field-dependent) percolation thresholds. The implications, of the proposed theoretical approach, are demonstrated for the case of the dielectric properties of magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs). In MAEs with soft polymer matrices, the mutual arrangement of micrometer-sized magnetic inclusions can significantly change in an applied magnetic field. A reasonable agreement between theory and experiment at a measurement frequency of 1 kHz is found, and is improved in comparison to the previous models. The components of the effective permittivity tensor, characterizing the dielectric properties along the direction of the applied magnetic field and in the orthogonal direction, grow with an increasing field. This growth is more pronounced for the permittivity component in the field direction. The possible extensions of the theoretical model and future directions of research are discussed. The presented theoretical approach can be useful for the application-driven development of a number of smart materials, in particular electro- and magnetorheological gels, elastomers and fluids.

A1 - Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail T1 - Giant extensional strain of magnetoactive elastomeric cylinders in uniform magnetic fields JF - Materials N2 - Elongations of magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) under ascending–descending uniform magnetic fields were studied experimentally using a laboratory apparatus specifically designed to measure large extensional strains (up to 20%) in compliant MAEs. In the literature, such a phenomenon is usually denoted as giant magnetostriction. The synthesized cylindrical MAE samples were based on polydimethylsiloxane matrices filled with micrometer-sized particles of carbonyl iron. The impact of both the macroscopic shape factor of the samples and their magneto-mechanical characteristics were evaluated. For this purpose, the aspect ratio of the MAE cylindrical samples, the concentration of magnetic particles in MAEs and the effective shear modulus were systematically varied. It was shown that the magnetically induced elongation of MAE cylinders in the maximum magnetic field of about 400 kA/m, applied along the cylinder axis, grew with the increasing aspect ratio. The effect of the sample composition is discussed in terms of magnetic filler rearrangements in magnetic fields and the observed experimental tendencies are rationalized by simple theoretical estimates. The obtained results can be used for the design of new smart materials with magnetic-field-controlled deformation properties, e.g., for soft robotics.

The structure, placed inside an excitation coil, is electrically poled and magnetized in the direction of the long axis. The primary voltage is applied to the coil and the secondary voltage is measured between the electrodes of the PE material. It is shown for the first time that the change in the total thickness of magnetic layers significantly influences the transformer ' s characteristics. At the largest total thickness of FM layers of 138 mu m, the open-circuit voltage transformation ratio K has a maximum value of about 20, and the power transfer efficiency eta at a matched resistive load of about 20 k omega reaches 45%. The variation of the control magnetic field in the range of 0-21.6 kA m(-1) makes it possible to change the voltage transformation ratio K from zero to the maximum value. A simple model allows one to calculate the dependence of the characteristics of the ME transformer on the frequency of the primary voltage, thickness of the FM layers, control magnetic field, and the load.

Such a phenomenon is usually denoted as the Wiedemann effect. The tube is fabricated from a soft magnetoactive elastomer material with the shear modulus of about 56 kPa. The composite material comprises 80 mass% of micrometer-sized iron particles embedded into a polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The circular magnetic field is generated by an electric current in a straight wire passing through the inner hole of the tube. The maximum value of approximately 350″/cm is observed in a longitudinal magnetic field of a few kA/m overlapped with a circumferential magnetic field of about 1.4 kA/m on the surface of the inner hole. A pronounced hysteresis in the dependence of the Wiedemann effect on the circular magnetic field is found. The ways to enhance the Wiedemann twist in magnetoactive elastomers are discussed. The observed large effect is promising for application in magnetic-field controlled torsional actuators, in particular for soft robotics.

Static friction models apply appropriate regularization techniques to convert the stick inequality and the non-smooth stick–slip transition of Coulomb’s approach into a continuous and smooth function of the sliding velocity. However, a regularized friction force is not able to maintain long-term stick. That is why dynamic friction models were developed in recent decades. The friction force depends herein not only on the sliding velocity but also on internal states. The probably best-known representative, the LuGre friction model, is based on a fictitious bristle but realizes a too-simple approximation. The recently published second-order dynamic friction model describes the dynamics of a fictitious bristle more accurately. It is based on a regularized friction force characteristic, which is continuous and smooth but can maintain long-term stick due to an appropriate shift in the regularization. Its performance is compared here to stick–slip friction models, developed and launched not long ago by commercial multibody software packages. The results obtained by a virtual friction test-bench and by a more practical festoon cable system are very promising. Thus, the second-order dynamic friction model may serve not only as an alternative to the LuGre model but also to commercial stick–slip models.

Similar to diesel applications, gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) can be monitored by differential pressure measurement or by the radio-frequency-based filter diagnosis (RF sensor). In addition to measuring the soot loading, ash detection is critical for monitoring the GPF over the entire vehicle lifetime. Because the RF sensor detects the filter loading through a change in the dielectric properties of the GPF, it can detect not only soot but also ash. In diesel applications, the RF sensor has already demonstrated its potential for ash detection. To verify the feasibility of simultaneous ash and soot monitoring for GPFs, filters were loaded with ash on an engine test bench and measured on a lab test bench under defined synthetic exhaust gas conditions. By evaluating resonant modes, soot and ash could be clearly distinguished, as ash mainly affects the resonant frequency, while soot also changes the quality factor due to its high dielectric losses. However, higher soot loadings could not be detected by the resonant parameters, but instead by a frequency-averaged transmission signal. While the presence of ash caused an offset in this signal, its sensitivity to soot was not affected. Thus, the influence of ash can be corrected if the signal in the soot-free filter state is known, e.g., from the behavior of the resonant parameters. Therefore, even with a continuously increasing ash loading over the lifetime of a vehicle, an accurate soot detection is possible with the RF sensor.

Therefore, exhaust emission standards are constantly being tightened with regard to the particulate number. To meet the emission limits, particulate filters have become necessary for gasoline engines. Similar to diesel applications, gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) can be monitored via differential pressure measurement or via a radio-frequency approach (RF-sensor). The latter is based on the influence of the soot conductivity on the electromagnetic field. To control the GPF, ash detection is of crucial importance besides the soot load monitoring. With the differential pressure system, this is only possible with high uncertainties due to the low pressure increase caused by ash. The RF-sensor, however, has already demonstrated its potential for ash detection in diesel applications. In order to verify the applicability of the system for GPFs, filters were loaded via a method for fast ash loading. Thereby, it was shown that by evaluating resonant modes – especially the resonant frequency – the ash loading can easily be measured as long as the filter is soot-unloaded. In contrast, soot loading can be determined independently from this by considering a frequency-averaged transmission signal between the antennas of the RF-sensor. Using a setup for radio-frequency material characterization, the dielectric parameters of the generated ash were also measured. In comparison with the properties of the synthetic soot PrintexU, ash showed significantly lower dielectric losses. Thus, the evaluation of the loss-dependent quality factor, which is only possible at low soot loadings, allows a precise conclusion whether the filter is completely soot-free. Furthermore, using synthetic soot loading, it could be shown that soot detection via the averaged transmission signal is not affected by ash. In summary, it could be shown that with the RF-sensor, ash and soot can be simultaneously detected.

However, the large-scale installation of on-grid hydrogen electrolysis for export can have profound impacts on domestic energy prices and energy-related emissions. Our investigation explores the interplay of hydrogen exports, domestic energy transition and temporal hydrogen regulation, employing a sector-coupled energy model in Morocco. We find substantial co-benets of domestic climate change mitigation and hydrogen exports, whereby exports can reduce domestic electricity prices while mitigation reduces hydrogen export prices. However, increasing hydrogen exports quickly in a system that is still dominated by fossil fuels can substantially raise domestic electricity prices, if green hydrogen production is not regulated. Surprisingly, temporal matching of hydrogen production lowers domestic electricity cost by up to 31% while the effect on exporters is minimal. This policy instrument can steer the welfare (re-)distribution between hydrogen exporting firms, hydrogen importers, and domestic electricity consumers and hereby increases acceptance among actors.

In the manufacturing of semiconductor devices this material parameter also plays an important role. During the so-called wafer testing inside a wafer prober small probe tips are pressed onto the chip surface to check its performance. To prevent damaging the chip by that, the fracture toughness and load limit of it has to be defined in a prequalification step. This paper presents a test system that imitates the wafer testing process as close as possible and uses acoustic emission to detect appearing cracks and thereby also the load limit. The frontend of the test setup consists of a modular single needle probe card which can be placed in a wafer prober. Also, the indenter properties (tip diameter, stiffness, etc.) can be adjusted to the probe used later on during productive wafer testing to ensure realistic probing conditions. A piezoelectric sensor and a full strain gauge Wheatstone bridge are implemented close to the single indenter to measure the AEs and the applied contact force respectively. The signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) of both sensors are improved with an own analog amplifier module before recording them with an USB oscilloscope. A developed measurement software (LabVIEW) is used to adjust measurement parameters (trigger limit, record length, conversion factors, etc.) and automatically store and separate measurement data from different acoustic events and imprints. To evaluate the result files a second software tool (MATLAB) reads the files out and clusters the recorded events to separate crack signals from electrical and mechanical disturbances. With a prototype first test results are generated and the functionality and accuracy of the measurement concept is proven.

However, increasing hydrogen exports in a fossil-dominated system can substantially raise market-based costs for domestic electricity consumers, but surprisingly, temporal matching of hydrogen production can lower these costs by up to 31% with minimal impact on exporters. Here, we show that this policy instrument can steer the welfare (re-)distribution between hydrogen exporting firms, hydrogen importers, and domestic electricity consumers and hereby increases acceptance among actors.

Recording mobility behavior through conventional, aggregated, or retrospective survey methods (e.g., counting stations, travel diaries) may yield incomplete insights. In addition, these methods are often expensive, prone to error, or not scalable. The aim of this literature review is to provide a systematic overview of the current state of the literature on recording and analysis of individual mobility data and, based on this, to identify possible research gaps and potential. The exploratory literature review includes social science surveys on multi- and intermodal mobility behavior, as well as an overview of possible ways to analyze travel data. The focus of the latter is on identifying relevant data sources and methodological approaches for segmentation, identification of transport mode, and trip purpose determination. Results from recent studies show that sensor-based data collection alone is not sufficient to fully and accurately map mobility behavior. One possible solution is a “best-of-both-worlds” approach that combines passive, automatic mobility data collection via smartphone sensors with targeted user corrections and additions (“human-in-the-loop”) within an app. The literature review shows that this approach yields the best data quality. Combining mobility surveys with passive collection of mobility data provides a comprehensive, accurate, and complete overview of mobility behavior.

This is particularly growing relevant for the lower voltage-grid levels, which are gaining importance due to significant changes in grid behavior, operational strategies, energy generation and consumption patterns. Currently, standardized methodologies for forecasting reactive power in medium-voltage grids are lacking, creating a gap in research and practical applications. To optimize grid investments and expansions, informed decisions based on reliable research and accurate forecasts are essential. This paper presents a methodology for long-term reactive power forecasting in me-dium-voltage grids, introducing a new approach to account for low- and medium-voltage grid interactions while address-ing common challenges like limited available grid data and scenario framework definition. The aim of the forecast is the future reactive power behaviour of a medium-voltage-grid at the high-voltage side of the high-voltage to medium-voltage transformer. The medium-voltage-level is modelled using a grid model approach, while low-voltage grids are being mod-elled using generic distribution grids. A 209-bus medium-voltage-grid model is used as an application example and to provide two exemplary use cases for a reactive power forecast for 2045.

This lead, together with an overall higher price volatility to possibly higher electrical energy storage system (ESS) profitability. To test if the investment in an ESS can now be more profitable, an approach for a techno-economic evaluation of ESS is presented in this paper, using an optimization algorithm to determine the optimal way of covering a load flow profile with electricity trading products on the electricity market with and without the use of an energy storage system. The cost differences between using or not using the storage system are assumed to be the profits of the ESS, which must exceed the (interest-bearing) investment costs over its lifetime. The correct way of operation of the optimization model is validated and several storage sizes and capacities as well as several years of the electricity market data was analyzed, once with a perfect forecast of all prices of the electricity trading products and once with a forecast based on the previous years purchasing strategy. The results show that, using the prognosis and a 2 % p.a. interest rate, only the storage combinations for 2.5 MWh/ 2.5 MW and 1 MWh/ 1 MW show profitability in 2023, whereas 2017 and 2020 show no profitability.

This transformation involves a shift from predominantly top-down, unidirectional electricity flows to bidirectional and increasingly complex flow patterns, fundamentally altering the operation and utilization of power systems. Many countries are already reporting notable changes in their transmission grid Q. This can lead to increased costs for grid expansion and compensation equipment, as well as grid losses. To minimize these losses and ensure grid stability and efficiency, understanding and forecasting Q long-term becomes essential. This paper addresses the challenges of long-term (1-20 years) Q forecasting in general by analyzing Q behavior in grids, the main influencing grid parameters, and reviewing existing forecasting approaches. It evaluates the applicability of these approaches and highlights current research gaps and trends. By focusing on this underexplored area, the paper aims to support the development of more advanced and reliable long-term Q forecasting techniques.

The planning problem addresses the maintenance of voltage stability, which is an ancillary service in Germany, and can be formulated as a mixed-integer optimization prob-lem. The aim of this work is a techno-economically efficient coverage of the deficient steady state voltage deviation demands (VDD) by placing new reactive power sources with adequate size or extending the reactive power potential of existing sources. An optimization model is set up to solve the planning problem by using load flow voltage sensitivities, which quantify and evaluate the technical efficiency of new reactive power sources in relation to the present voltage deviation demands. Operating and investment costs are used as economic decision parameters. Within an application example, which is carried out with an exemplary transmission system, the solution of the planning problem is discussed.

Da sich der Körper- und Luftschall beim Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors mit anderen, nicht untersuchungsrelevanten Geräuschkomponenten überlagert, ist im Vollmotorbetrieb eine diffe-renzierte komponentenbasierte Geräuschmessung nicht möglich. Deshalb wurde ein NVH-Sys-temprüfstand entwickelt, der eine isolierte akustische Vermessung von Einspritzsystemen im seriennahen Systemverbund ermöglicht. Die Betriebsparameter des Einspritzsystems wurden an einem Vollmotor in einem leerlaufna-hen Motorbetriebspunkt erfasst und mithilfe eines speziellen Entwicklungssteuergeräts auf den NVH-Systemprüfstand transferiert. Ausgehend von dem definierten Referenzbetriebspunkt wurden sowohl die Randbedingungen als auch die Ansteuerstrategie variiert und deren Einfluss auf das akustische Verhalten analysiert. Dabei zeigten primär der Raildruck und die Anzahl der Einspritzungen einen ausgeprägten Einfluss auf die betrachteten (psycho-)akustischen Parame-ter Schalldruckpegel, Lautheit, Schärfe und Impulshaltigkeit. Zur akustischen Optimierung der mechatronischen Komponenten wurden zum einen der An-steuerstrom reduziert und zum anderen ein Bremsimpuls am Ende der Ansteuerung implemen-tiert. Dadurch konnten die mechanischen Prellereignisse deutlich reduziert werden. Mithilfe eines Einspritzratenmessgeräts wurde allerdings nachgewiesen, dass sich die Optimierungs-maßnahmen insbesondere auf die Streuung der eingespritzten Kraftstoffmasse negativ auswir-ken und damit ein Zielkonflikt aus Geräuschqualität und Primärfunktionen entsteht. Als signi-fikanter Kipppunkt wurde bei den Injektoren der Übergang vom linearen Vollhub-Betrieb zum ballistischen Teilhub-Betrieb identifiziert. Aus diesem Grund wurde die elektrische Ansteue-rung unter der Voraussetzung des Injektor-Vollhub-Betriebs optimiert. Bei der Beurteilung des Einflusses der NVH-optimierten Ansteuerprofile auf die Robustheit der mechatronischen Komponenten wirkten sich eine niedrige Versorgungsspannung sowie eine kurze Ansteuerdauer der Injektoren besonders negativ auf die Streuung der eingespritzten Kraftstoffmasse aus. Vor allem in Verbindung mit der stromreduzierten Ansteuerung wurden die Injektoren nicht mehr zuverlässig und reproduzierbar im Voll-Hub geöffnet. Weiterhin wur-den durch die Bremspuls-Applikation injektorspezifische Abweichungen im Schließverhalten weiter verstärkt und erhöhten damit auch die Abweichungen der mittleren eingespritzten Kraft-stoffmasse zwischen den untersuchten Injektor-Exemplaren. Abschließend wurde die Übertragbarkeit des Systemverhaltens ermittelt, indem die Optimie-rungsmaßnahmen auf einen weiteren Versuchsträger ausgeweitet wurden. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Maßnahmen zwar grundsätzlich übertragbar waren, aber die Parametrierung bezüglich Ansteuerstromreduzierung und Bremspuls-Applikation zum Teil stark angepasst werden mussten. N2 - The present dissertation deals with the acoustic analysis of fuel injection systems and their NVH optimization by means of control measures. Since the structure-borne and airborne sound dur-ing operation of the combustion engine is superimposed with other noise components that are not relevant for the analysis, a differentiated component-based noise measurement is not possi-ble in full engine operation. For this reason, an NVH system test bench has been developed that enables isolated acoustic measurements of fuel injection systems in a near-series system com-pound. The operating parameters of the injection system were recorded on a full engine at an engine operating point close to idle and transferred to the NVH system test bench by means of a special development control unit. Beginning from the defined reference operating point, both the boundary conditions and the control strategy were varied and their influence on the acoustic behavior analyzed. Primarily, the rail pressure and the number of injections had a distinct in-fluence on the (psycho-)acoustic parameters considered: sound pressure level, loudness, sharp-ness and impulsiveness. To optimize the mechatronic components acoustically, the control current was reduced and a braking pulse was implemented at the end of the control. This significantly reduced the me-chanical bounce events. However, using an injection rate measurement device revealed that the optimization measures had a particularly negative effect on the scattering of the injected fuel mass, resulting in a trade-off between noise quality and performance. To this, the shift from linear full-stroke operation to ballistic partial-stroke operation of the injectors was identified as a significant tipping point. Therefore, the electrical control was optimized under the condition of injector full stroke operation. Considering the influence of the NVH optimized control profiles on the robustness of the mech-atronic components, particularly a low supply voltage and a short control duration of the injec-tors showed a negative effect on the scattering of the injected fuel mass. Especially in combi-nation with the reduced control current, the injectors were no longer able to open reliably and reproducibly in the full stroke. Additionally, the brake pulse application further increased in-jector-specific deviations in the closing behavior and thus increased the deviations of the mean injected fuel mass between the injector samples investigated. Finally, the transferability of the system behavior was determined by extending the optimization measures to another demonstrator. It turned out that the measures were generally transferable, but the parameterization with regard to control current reduction and brake pulse application had to be adapted considerably in some cases.

In order to comply with statutory particle number limits, particulate filters are used in the exhaust gas aftertreatment for GDI-engines. The currently applied method for diagnostic purposes, a differential pressure sensor, will not be suitable for future legislations. Therefore, an on-board strategy with real-time ability shall be developed. To achieve this, the application of novel sensor concepts has been investigated, namely electrostatic soot sensors (ePM sensor) and radio frequency antennas (RF sensor). Due to the results of the ePM-sensors, no methodology for an on-board diagnosis based on an ePM sensor concept was made. The RF sensor showed varying sensitivities for different soot and different quantities of volatile components in the filter element. The analysis of the oxidation processes showed that the regeneration of the filter element is detected by the RF sensor. Furthermore, the stored amount of ash could be captured. Due to these findings, a concept for an improved on-board diagnosis strategy by means of an RF sensor concept was developed. In the course of the work it turned out that a combined sensor concept consisting of a differential pressure sensor and a RF sensor is most suitable. In a validation process, this sensor concept showed sufficient results concerning the detection capability of soot and ash loads as well as of the degree of damage of particulate filters. Especially for small amounts of ash, this sensor concept showed specific advantage. Also, the determination of the current amount of soot in the filter element proved to be suitable. Regarding the detection of damages, the sensor concept convinces through a higher sensitivity.

Um alle Herausforderungen zu erfüllen, muss ein stöchiometrischer Betrieb sichergestellt werden. Dabei kann es jedoch an der Volllast zur Überschreitung thermischer Grenzen im Abgaspfad kommen, weswegen die Abgastemperatur ohne Leistungsverluste abgesenkt werden muss. Die Wassereinspritzung kombiniert Downsizing, Leistungssteigerung und die Verbesserung der Schadstoffemissionen wirkungsvoll miteinander und könnte einen Beitrag zur Erreichung der Klimaziele leisten. Um ein optimales Systemlayout zu erarbeiten, sind prozessuale Betrachtungen oft nicht ausreichend. Vielmehr müssen die Phänomene im Brennraum beobachtet werden. Schwerpunktmäßig sind dies die Einbringung des Wassers, der Wandkontakt, die Spray- und Wandfilmverdampfung und somit die Wirksamkeit der Abgastemperaturreduktion und die Verbesserung des indizierten Wirkungsgrads. In einem ersten Schritt werden die Thermodynamik bei Wassereinspritzung analysiert und verschiedene Einspritztechnologien miteinander verglichen. Fokussiert wird die Verbrennung, die Veränderung in den gasförmigen und festen Abgasbestandteilen und die mechanische Belastung der Aggregate durch die Verbesserung der Zündwinkel. Die Mischungseinspritzung über den zentralen Hochdruckinjektor vereint den geringsten Wasserverbrauch mit bestmöglicher Schwerpunktlage, starker Reduktion des Partikelausstoßes und akzeptabler Erhöhung der mechanischen Belastung und ist damit das favorisierte Konzept. Neben den prozessualen Betrachtungen werden mit einem optisch zugänglichen Versuchsträger zwei laseroptische Messtechniken zur Visualisierung flüssigen Wassers und der spektralen Trennung zwischen Wasser und Kraftstoff entwickelt und validiert. Damit werden die verschiedenen Varianten optisch vermessen und die Sensitivität gegenüber veränderten Betriebs- und Randbedingungen ermittelt. Die Sammlereinspritzung zeigt die größten Tropfen, gefolgt von der Saugrohr- und der Mischungseinspritzung. Auch hat diese den mit Abstand größten Wandkontakt und die geringste Verdampfungsrate, ist zusätzlich anfällig für zyklische Schwankungen. Die Saugrohreinspritzung kennzeichnen kleine Tropfen, ein konzentriertes Einströmen durch den Ventilspalt, ein flächiger Wandfilm auf der Kolbenoberseite und die Verbesserung der Tropfenverdampfung durch Turbulenz und die Nutzung von Phasing. Favorit ist abermals die Mischungseinspritzung. Eine hohe Wandfilm- und unmittelbare Sprayverdampfung kennzeichnen das System, wobei eine Erhöhung des Einspritzdrucks die Verdampfungsrate signifikant verbessert. Außerdem ist die Einspritzdauer am geringsten und die Reproduzierbarkeit am größten, jedoch auch der applikative Aufwand. Am favorisierten System werden weitere Analysen durchgeführt, unter anderem zur Veränderung der Bauteiltemperaturen, der Vergleich mit einer Ethanoleinspritzung oder die vielversprechende Kombination in Form einer Wasser-Ethanol-Mischungseinspritzung. Auf Basis der experimentellen Erkenntnisse wird ein CFD-Verfahren vorgestellt, das die Wassereinspritzung abbildet und somit die Virtualisierung in der Produktentwicklung vorantreibt. Neben der methodischen Vorgehensweise wird das Verfahren validiert und am Einzylinder- und Vollmotorbetriebspunkt vorgestellt. Die auftretenden Unterschiede werden analysiert und ausgewählte Parameteranalysen durchgeführt. Mit den Simulationen kann nachvollzogen werden, wie das Wasser die Zylinderlaufbahn benetzt und mit dem Kolben interagiert. Zusammenfassend charakterisiert diese Arbeit die gängigen Wassereinspritzvarianten auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen, gibt Optimierungsempfehlungen für die bestmögliche Medienverdampfung und empfiehlt die Mischungseinspritzung als Systemlayout. N2 - The reduction in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions with simultaneous improving driving performance with a smaller displacement and a reduced number of cylinders, increased performance and compatibility with electrified components describe the current goals and challenges of modern gasoline engine development. In order to fulfil all challenges, stoichiometric operation must be ensured. At full load, however, thermal limits in the exhaust gas path can be exceeded, that is why the exhaust gas temperature must be reduced without loss of performance. The water injection effectively combines downsizing, increased performance and the improvement of pollutant emissions and could contribute to the achievement of the climate targets. In order to develop an optimal system layout, procedural considerations are often not sufficient. Rather, the phenomena in the combustion chamber must be observed. The focus is on the introduction of water, wall contact, spray, and wall film evaporation and thus the effectiveness of the exhaust gas temperature reduction and the improvement of the indicated efficiency. In a first step, the thermodynamics of water injection are analyzed, and different injection technologies compared. The focus is on the combustion, the change in the gaseous and solid exhaust gas components and the mechanical load on the engines by improving the ignition angle. The mixture injection via the central high-pressure injector combines the lowest water consumption with the best possible center of gravity, a strong reduction in particle emissions and an acceptable increase in the mechanical load and is therefore the preferred concept. In addition to the procedural considerations, two laser-optical measurement methods for visualizing liquid water and the spectral separation between water and fuel are being developed and validated using an optically accessible test engine. In this way, the different variants are optically measured and the sensitivity of changed operating and boundary conditions is determined. The manifold injection shows the largest droplets, followed by the manifold and the mixture injection. This has the greatest wall contact and the lowest evaporation rate by far but is susceptible to cyclical fluctuations. The intake manifold injection is characterized by small droplets, a concentrated inflow through the valve gap, a flat wall film on the top of the piston and the improvement of droplet evaporation through turbulence plus the use of phasing. Mixture injection is once again the favorite. The system is characterized by high wall film and direct spray evaporation, with an increase in the injection pressure significantly improving the evaporation rate. In addition, the injection duration is the shortest and the reproducibility greatest, but also the application effort. Further analyzes are carried out on the favored system, including changes in component temperatures, a comparison with an ethanol injection or the promising combination in the form of a water-ethanol mixture injection. Based on the experimental findings, a CFD process is presented that maps the water injection and thus drives the virtualization in product development. In addition to the methodical approach, the process is validated and presented at the single-cylinder and production engine operating point. The differences that arise are analyzed and the influence of selected parameters are pointed out. The simulations can be used to understand how the water wets the cylinder liner and interacts with the piston. In summary, this work characterizes the common water injection variants on different levels, gives optimization recommendations for the best possible media evaporation and recommends mixed injection as a system layout.
