As part of his current research project “ReSidence - regionally renewable, recyclable and modular living”, Mr. Simon Steffl held a workshop on the topic of 'Paludiculture - Industry - Raw Materials' at this year's moor symposium: “Rewetting of moors: planning and implementation” / Wilhelmsdorf Nature Conservation Centre. In the one-and-a-half-hour workshop, around 30 participants gained in-depth insights into the current state of research and had the opportunity to discuss current research questions and find answers with their expertise in the second part of the workshop. In the small break-out groups, there was a lively exchange and discussions with different but very valuable results for the research project. These are now being evaluated and will make an important contribution to further research.
End of October, the project meeting for the research project "Analysis of Bidding Strategies and Their Impact on Electricity Prices in the European Domestic Market" (BETS) took place at the Institute for Industrial Production (IIP) in Karlsruhe. A key focus of the meeting was the exchange with stakeholders from both academia and industry, who provided valuable feedback and insights on various aspects of the project, helping to shape the direction for future work.
The discussion focused on the outcomes of work package 1, where the theoretical foundations of bidding strategies were explored. These findings were presented and debated and will be available to the broader public through two upcoming journal publications.
Another important topic was the methodology for work package 2, which focuses on analyzing historical bidding curves. Various approaches were discussed and aligned during the meeting.
Overall, it was a highly productive session, providing critical input for the continued progress of the project.

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.
