The IIP congratulates PD Dr.-Ing. Rebekka Volk on her inaugural lecture entitled “Challenges of the Circular Economy,” which took place on November 6, 2024, in the Old Senate Hall.
Subsequently, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Thomas Lützkendorf gave the farewell lecture with the title “Sustainability - Phrase, phase or guiding principle?”. We want to take this opportunity to wish Prof. Lützkendorf all the best.
As a research partner in the InnoFuels project, the IIP is making an important contribution to the ramp-up of electricity-based fuels and advanced biofuels. More information at: https://www.innofuels.de/
The IIP congratulates the IIP-Bridge association on the successful event regarding the awarding of the IIP-Bridge Sustainability Award for Bachelor's and Master's theses in the field of production and energy management. The awards were given to the work of Mr. Epple (conducted at the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery with the title: "Generative Adversarial Networks for Monte Carlo Simulations of Renewable Production") and Mr. Ruck (performed at the IIP: "Leakage Detection in District Heating Systems: Design and Analysis of Anomaly Detection Methods for Thermal Images").
The awarding of the prizes, each endowed with EUR 200, took place on August 1 as part of a public event of the association on the Campus West of KIT and was supplemented by a keynote speech by Dr. Christoph Stallkamp entitled "Twin Transformation: Synergies between Digitalization and Sustainability." At the end of the event, approximately 50 participants were able to exchange views on current production and energy industry issues over cold drinks and a grill party.
The IIP congratulates Sonja Rosenberg, who successfully completed her doctoral examination on "Evaluating End-of-Life Electric Vehicle Battery System Disassembly Potential for Reverse Logistics Network Planning" on July 23th, 2024.
The IIP congratulates Finn Ohlsen on winning the Hanns-Voith Foundation Award for his outstanding master's thesis "Generation of Synthetic Power Price Shapes with Generative Adversarial Networks" in the “Innovation & Technology/Artificial Intelligence” category.
In his work, Finn developed a method for generating synthetic power price curves using generative AI, enabling better evaluation of future investments in renewable energy.
The thesis was carried out in close collaboration between EnBW, KIT-ITS, and KIT-IIP. Our special thanks and congratulations also go to the supervisors of the thesis: Geoffroy Chaussonnet (EnBW), Cihan Ates (KIT-ITS) and Max Kleinebrahm (KIT-IIP). A heartfelt thankyou to the Hanns-Voith-Foundation for the wonderful award ceremony and for offering such a prize that recognizes outstanding achievements in science.
