Prof. Madlener (JARA-ENERGY) attends the Editorial Board Member Meeting 2017 of Applied Energy and the 9th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE) 2017 on “Energizing the Future” in Cardiff, Wales (UK), where he gives a presentation on “System Cost Uncertainty of Micro Fuel Cell Cogeneration and Storage” (joint work with Laurens Löbberding). He is accompanied by Kai Risthaus who presents a joint paper on “Economic Analysis of Electricity Storage Based on Heat Pumps and Thermal Storage Units in Large-Scale Thermal Power Plants.
A transonic centrifugal compressor was aerodynamically optimized at the Institute of Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery, headed by JARA-ENERGY member Prof. Peter Jeschke, by means of a numerical optimization process. The main applications of these compressors are among others turbochargers of ships, power stations, diesel locomotives, or small gas turbines, small jet engines and auxiliary power units.
From June 18 - 22, 2017, the International Supercomputing Conference 2017 (ISC) took place once again in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The ISC is one of the biggest and most important events regarding HPC. JARA-HPC's scientists presented current research activities at their new booth and were actively involved in the conference.
A team from DWI-Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen, RWTH Aachen University, and the University of Bonn has now developed a foliar fertilization system based on biocompatible microgels that adhere selectively to leaves for a long period and slowly deliver nutrients in a controlled fashion.
On April 4 2017, the Opening Workshop for the new Simulation Laboratory Quantum Materials (SLQM) took place at JSC. The workshop featured a number of scientific talks given by leading experts from the Forschungszentrum Juelich, RWTH Aachen University and the Universitè de Liegé.
