This comprehensive overview of the impacting factors on lithium-ion-battery’s (LIB) overall efficiency presents the most relevant influencing factors on a battery’s performance. Dissected into their respective short-term and long-term influences, the working principles behind the efficiency influencing factors are presented. With a strong focus on battery characterisation, charge-profiles and battery...
This scientific paper contains the analysis of common MPPT algorithms and usual data processing algorithms for the purpose of the power optimization of mobile solar generators. Furthermore according to the analysis results, an optimized MPPT algorithm, the Global High-Dynamic MPPT algorithm, is designed. The design process approaches, and superordinate algorithm theoretical principles are described.
As environmental awareness increases, lightweighting of automobiles has become a key strategy for meeting the stringent requirements on air emissions. But is weight reduction always a sensible strategy in the sense of sustainable development? Life cycle assessment is a sustainable product management tool to analyze the environmental impacts of products. This paper examines the environmental performance...
Is it possible to circumnavigate the globe with a solar powered car, that has an overall energy consumption that is equivalent to no more than 80 liters of gasoline? With the construction of the SolarWorld GT students from the Bochum University of Applied Sciences had shown, that his ambitious objective could be achieved. This paper illustrates, how the general approach looked like, to design a car...
This paper describes the development of a consistent sustainability education approach at the Bochum University of Applied Sciences by introducing sustainability content and practice into existing and new teaching approaches on six levels of education. Since 1999 the Problem Based Learning approach is used in the Mechatronic Teaching. The experiences gained there can be perfectly used to build up...
