Current Projects
Project HE-Lion – Integrating Electric Cars into the Energy Grid
The HE-Lion project is a cooperation between Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW) and the DAI Labor of the Technische Universität Berlin. The goal of the project is to examine different aspects of integrating electric cars into the electric energy system. The DAI Labor researches in this context the integration of car batteries into the home environment of the car owner. An intelligent energy management system facilitates this integration based on the energy consumption goals of the user.
SOPRO – selforganising production
In the context of the research project SOPRO different forms and methods of selforganisation are investigated for their adequacy in production environments. The project is being funded by the German ministry for education and research and coordinated by the "Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V. (VDMA)". It is executed by a number of research institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and the Berlin Institute of Technology. The work of the DAI Labor is conducted in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institut für Zuverlässigkeit und Mikrointegration (IZM).
SmartSenior
SmartSenior focuses on the possible ways for senior citizens to live an independent life. The aim is to support older people economically, socially and in terms of health in such a way that they can remain living in their familiar environment. The project is aimed both at senior citizens living generally independent lives, as well as at acutely or chronically ill older people in need of assistance and care.
MINI E V1.0 – MINI E powered by Vattenfall
Aim of Mini E V1.0 is to demonstrate the suitability of electric mobility for daily use as well as to reduce the carbon dioxide emission by using renewable energy in conjunction with electric vehicles. The approach is to use the car batteries as mobile storage for wind energy (wind-to-vehicle) and also as virtual power plants to support the stability of the grid (vehicle-to-grid).
Previous Projects
MAMS - Multi-Access, Modular Services Framework
The development of new services for telecommunication applications and other IT systems is one of the most important vehicles of innovation for telecommunication and other service providers. Competition and ever growing expectations of users require faster service developments and the means to deliver them promptly. Thus, the acceleration of the service development process requires the development of new concepts and tools. The MAMSplus project develops different approaches as answers to these problems.
