Kaiserslautern. Dynamic Electricity Prices and Flexibility Marketing for the Floating Energy Community Schoonschip
The Schoonschip energy community is an association of 30 floating houses with photovoltaic systems, heat pumps and battery storage units in a side arm of the IJ canal, north of Amsterdam. What makes it special is the innovative technologies that enable the members to manage their energy supply collectively. Since 2018, for example, they have been able to maximize the use of their own energy generation by integrating the Amperix energy management system developed at the Fraunhofer ITWM and thus jointly reduce the amount of energy they still need to purchase.

Kaiserslautern. Improved Fiber Distribution Increases Thermal Insulation
Together with four partners, our researchers at the Fraunhofer ITWM are investigating the effects of fibre distribution in wood-based insulation materials in the project »Oho: Optimization of Wood-Fibre Based Insulation Materials« with the aim of improving thermal insulation. The aim is to achieve a thermal conductivity of less than 35 W/K. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Kaiserslautern. Lightweight Construction and Ecological Design for Electric Vehicles
ALMA Project’s novel lightweight, efficient and sustainable Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) structure for passenger cars promises major strides in the EU’s green road transport transition away from fossil fuels. The ALMA BEV body-in-white (BiW) is 22 percent lighter than the baseline design, resulting in a 24 percent reduction in carbon emissions for the BiW and a corresponding 9 percent reduction for the entire car over the vehicle’s entire service life.
