Course description:
Design Exercise 1 is a one semester course for practising the contents and knowledge from former courses like Machine Parts 1, Technical Mechanics. The students apply their theoretical knowledge acquired in previous courses to an actual complex task. In this context, they have to consider design guidelines and the design and layout requirements set in DIN and CE standards. In order to fulfil their tasks, they have to form teams and determine a time plan they have to comply with during the course of the project.
After having successfully completed the course, the students should
• be able to design a aimple part in consideration of load, stress and fatigue,
•have improved their capability to work in a team,
•have learned to defined benchmarks (milestones) for an effective time management.
There are no marks given for the Design Exercise 1. The course is valued either „passed“ or „failed“.
Teaching methods: Project-oriented course supported by Power Point slides, CAD-Program, Video, internet, blackboard notes, transparencies and E-learning.
!It is intended to set up a qualifying test at the beginning of the course! Don´t miss the first lecture

The Design Exercise 2 is a one semester course for practising the contents and knowledge from former courses like Mechanics, Design Methods and Engineering Design in a small project. The objective is to develop and design a new product. The students work on this project in a team of usually 4 students. After planning the project the team has to compile a list of requirements. Then, various product concepts have to be developped. Based on the best solution the students calculate and design the product using a CAD-software. Finally, all results of the project have to be summarized in a report. During the semester the team has to present the results in 3 milestone meetings using a 20 minute Powerpoint-presentation (english language). This is followed by a 20 minute discussion together with the instructor (professor). It is obligatory to participate in the milestone meetings for all team members. There are no marks given for the Design Exercise 2. The course is valued either „passed“ or „failed“.

The course introduces main principles of failure detection, localization and correction in communication channel as well as in electrical circuits. The reasons of information encoding (do not mismatch with information encryption) as well as the basics of self-corrective codes are given in the first part of the course. The second part focuses on the typical failures in digital circuits and definition of the minimal and necessary tests for failure detection and localization. In addition the easily testable circuits like Programmable Logic Arrays (PLA) will be considered. Participation in IP 402 Reliability Engineering – Basic Concepts is highly recommended / basic knowledge in reliability theory, probability theory, formal logic.

The "Energy Storage Lab" consists of two parts.
Lab Part 1 (Prof. Karsten Pinkwart):
„By attending this module, students are taught the effects of the increasing share of renewable energy systems on the electricity grids. Selected laboratory tests on the two topics electrochemical energy storage (batteries) and conversion (fuel cells) are offered. The experiments give an insight into the specific behavior of the technologies. “U-I” characteristics are recorded which determine the storage capacities and energy contents of the technologies. The aim is to compare and understand the advantages and disadvantages of energy conversion and energy storage. Based on these results, scenarios for the storage of regenerative energies using simulations will be considered in the second part of the laboratory.“
Lab Part 2 (Peter Hussinger):
„During this lab, you learn how to model an energy system with renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy combined with battery storage. Modelling comprises on the one hand side the correct physical behavior and the energy flows and the economic behavior and cash flows within the project on the other side. Simulation comprises the system behavior of a renewable energy system over a calendar year, we are creating time series of the system. After modelling and simulation of a project with HOMER energy software, we go over to the analysis of the energy flows and cash flows using HOMER and Microsoft Excel as well. By attending this lab, you learn how to correctly model, dimension and analyze energy sources and battery storage in a project, taking into account technical and economical boundaries.”
Please note: The laboratory can only be taken in combination with the lecture Renewable Energy Storage (IP 409, 2 ECTS)!
