38th reserach colloquium on June 24th at 4 p.m.

To everyone interested in research,

We would like to cordially invite you to the 38th Research Colloquium which this time is going to be a joint event from the BST at SRH Berlin and SRH Heidelberg. It will take place online on  Monday, June 24 at 4:00 pm with three very interesting presentations:

Saiful Islam, PhD student at BST SRH Berlin: Optimization Techniques in Control and Complex Energy Management Systems. (A Survey on Multi-Objective Optimization in Microgrid Systems)

Discussion of Microgrid (MG) and its various challenges with Renewable Energy Systems (RES), where Photovoltaic (PV) is a primary component. Focuses on the Multi-Objective-Optimization (MOO) algorithms used in MG for their energy management systems (EMS) as well as technical and economic challenges. It investigates how MOO can play a significant role in solving these problems.

Alan D’Souza, PhD student at BST SRH Berlin: Our Project ReGCell on the Week of the Environment

With a typical lifespan of 25 to 30 years currently estimated for PV modules, the scenario of a steadily increasing installation of PV power holds new challenges for the future. It is expected that at least 1.7 million tonnes of PV waste will be generated worldwide by 2030. A sustainable recycling process for crystalline solar modules was developed as part of a DBU-funded project. This project was selected by an independent jury for an exhibition at the Week of the Environment. The Week of the Environment is an event organised by the Federal President and the German Federal Environmental Foundation to present innovative solutions for protecting the environment. To explain our process to the public, we have created a diorama using 3D printing

Denise Reichel, Prof. at SRH Heidelberg: Bionic shading

Energy reduction is also an important criterion in the construction sector. If facades are shaded, solar radiation cannot heat the interior, which is why there is no need for cooling later which in turn may rely on energy supply from fossil fuels. In this way, carbon dioxide emissions can be significantly reduced over the large areas of the building envelope. The lecture presents a bionic shading system whose mode of action is based purely on the material properties and does not require hinges or additional energy supply. On the contrary, photovoltaic modules generate additional electricity.

Cordially,

Gesa Beck (SRH Berlin), Denise Reichel, Joachim Haß, Josephine Geipel and Carsten Diener
