The drivetrains and power systems equipped in personal and commercial vehicles, aircraft and also watercraft are rapidly changing for good reasons. Electrification helps to increase the total system efficiency and enables the use of renewable energy in the mobility sector. No matter if the energy is stored in batteries or green hydrogen. This is why a lot of research is performed at TU Braunschweig on electrical drives, energy storage technologies, fuel cell systems, power electronics, mobile energy systems and new mobility concepts. The Junior Research Group Wiring Technologies supplements these activities with a special focus on new possibilities for the physical realisation of electrical power systems and wire harnesses. This research work includes topics like the use of novell materials, the consideration of cable properties in drive system modelling and analysis, new wiring concepts and functional integration in wire harnesses. The results will hopefully shape the way mobile electrical power systems are realised in a more sustainable electrified future.
In detail, our research focuses on the following topics:
