The integration of renewable energy including conversion and storage is a key for both challenges in this energy-intensive industrial sector, which has been mainly relying on fossil gas so far. The options considered to this point for reducing CO2 emissions and switching to a renewable energy supply involve far-reaching changes of the established melting processes. This entails significant risks in terms of influences on glass quality and stable production volumes. The presented approach for the integration of a Power-to-Methane (PtM) system into the glass industry is a completely new concept and has not been considered in detail before. It allows the use of established oxyfuel melting processes, the integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources and a simultaneous reduction of CO2 emissions by more than 78%. At the same time, natural gas purchases become obsolete. A techno-economic evaluation of the complete PtM process shows, that 1,76 €/m3 or 1,26 €/kg synthetic natural gas are possible with renewable energy supply. Using electricity from the energy grid would require electricity prices < 0,126 €/kWh to allow cost competitive PtM processes in the glass industry. Such electricity prices could be achieved by electricity market-based optimization and operation of the PtM system. This operation strategy would require AI-based algorithms predicting availabilities and prices on future-based markets.

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.

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.

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.

One common problem is the leakage current due to dark resistance of the material or device used. Another is the physical size of such elements. However, their ability to provide galvanic separation makes them a very attractive alternative to conventional (wired) semiconductor elements.
