For several years, the es chair has been involved in the modeling and validation of component models for the power-to-X storage chain, in particular PEM electrolyzer, PEM fuel cell and H2 storage tank. The goal is to reproduce the behavior of the system components with respect to efficiency and aging as accurately as possible and to integrate an image of the system components into the storage… [read more]

Recently, the new pilot-scale trickle bed reactor for the biological methanation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide has been installed at the Garching wastewater treatment plant. The Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering researches the potential of biological methanation under anaerobic thermophilic conditions with so-called archaea, which use the supplied gases for their metabolism and thereby… [read more]

The storage technology of a CcH2-tank-system for heavy duty traffic combines a lot of advantages. First calculations show that the vision of the technology can be integrated in trucks. [read more]

In the scope of a joint research project between TUM and partners from the industry, prismatic lithium-ion cells with integrated gas pressure sensors were manufactured. Scientists at the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology - EES were able to show, that it is possible to measure the gas pressure inside large-format lithium-ion cells using miniaturized, commercially available sensors… [read more]

The publication "Thermal conductivity inside prismatic lithium-ion cells with dependencies on temperature and external compression pressure" by Marco Steinhardt and co-authors published in the Journal of Energy Storage deals with thermal conductivity measurements on a prismatic NMC graphite cell. In the study it could be shown that the thermal conductivity through the layers of the… [read more]
