On Sunday, July 16th, 2023, our three colleagues Tom Steffen (swimming), Christina Eckel (cycling), and Johannes Heise (running) started as a relay team at the Hamburg Wasser Triathlon and finished the olympic distance in less than 2:30h Energizing performance! Congratulations on the ieet Triathlon debut!

We are excited to announce the result of our project work within the scope of the "Elektrotechnisches Projektpraktikum" - an outstanding Network Demonstrator developed by our dedicated team of students over the past few weeks. With the sponsorship from Bachmann electronic GmbH, we were able to build the amazing demonstrator shown below. The students built a microgrid that can show how electrical systems work in different weather conditions and also what happens when there are failures in the system(e.g. earth faults, line outage).

PowerTech 2023 conference of the IEEE Power & Energy Society in Belgrade was an exciting experience! A great opportunity to share knowledge, meet inspiring people, learn and connect. We had a great time. Already looking forward to PowerTech 2025 in Kiel! We had the chance to present our work on: "Coupled Multi-Energy Grid Planning - Paving The Way From Isolated To Integrated Planning" - Johannes Heise, Merlin Engel, Marwan Mostafa, Jonathan Vieth, Davood Babazadeh, Arne Speerforck, Christian Becker "Data Driven System Identification For Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems" - Florian Strobel, Davood Babazadeh, Christian Becker "Bayesian Physics-Informed Neural Networks For Robust System Identification of Power Systems" - Simon Stock, Jochen Stiasny, Davood Babazadeh, Christian Becker, Spyros Chatzivasileiadis

Expert Workshop on Design and Operation of Digitalized Sector-Coupled Energy Systems

From 12-14 April, the first of regularly scheduled training courses was held for staff and students of the Institute of Electrical Power an Energy Technology (ieet) in the newly established Bachmann PLC training center. The training was supervised and carried out by Franck Tadenvok, Bachmann electronic GmbH Office Bremen. With expertise and commitment, the participants were introduced to the Bachmann automation system during the three-day basic training course and solutions for automation, simulation and visualisation were worked out together.

Our colleague Robert Annuth was invited to present his research results on power and energy management of DC grids on ships at the Maritime Research Forum 2023 of the German Maritime Centre in Bremen. Many thanks for the great organisation, the interesting discussions and the opportunity to meet industry partners and other researchers.

As part of the TUHH course Electrical Energy Systems II, we recently visited the control center of the transmission system operator TenneT TSO GmbH in Lehrte-Ahlten, Germany. The TenneT team shared with us a variety of insights into the new challenges of managing the increasingly complex electric power system. At the end of the substation tour, we performed a switching operation on the 380 kV busbar, which impressively demonstrated the power of electric current.  

Studenten und Mitarbeiter des ieet hatten die Gelegenheit, ein Umspannwerk der Stromnetz Hamburg GmbH zu besichtigen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Führung, spannende Informationen und Einblicke zu und in den Bau des Umspannwerks.

Ein Studium an der TUHH – Sie fragen, wir antworten! Im Rahmen des Schnupperstudiums stellt Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Becker vom Institut für Elektrische Energietechnik (ieet) Studieninhalte des Studiengangs Elektrotechnik und Berufsfelder in der Elektrotechnik vor. Ort: TUHH, Gebäude I, Audimax II Zeit: Dienstag, 21. Februar 2023, 14.00 - 14.45 Uhr

Automation is an important aspect of the energy system of the future. At TUHH, we want to teach students about the latest automation technologies and thus prepare them in the best possible way for their working lives. Thanks to the huge support from Bachmann electronic GmbH, we now have four workplaces where we can train and educate students in the field of automation. Thank you very much and we are looking forward to further cooperation.
