Market abstraction of energy markets and policies - application in an agent-based modeling toolbox
(2023)
In light of emerging challenges in energy systems, markets are prone to changing dynamics and market design. Simulation models are commonly used to understand the changing dynamics of future electricity markets. However, existing market models were often created with specific use cases in mind, which limits their flexibility and usability. This can impose challenges for using a single model to compare different market designs. This paper introduces a new method of defining market designs for energy market simulations. The proposed concept makes it easy to incorporate different market designs into electricity market models by using relevant parameters derived from analyzing existing simulation tools, morphological categorization and ontologies. These parameters are then used to derive a market abstraction and integrate it into an agent-based simulation framework, allowing for a unified analysis of diverse market designs. Furthermore, we showcase the usability of integrating new types of long-term contracts and over-the-counter trading. To validate this approach, two case studies are demonstrated: a pay-as-clear market and a pay-as-bid long-term market. These examples demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed framework.
Antibias training is increasingly demanded and practiced in academia and industry to increase employees’ sensitivity to discrimination, racism, and diversity. Under the heading of “Diversity Management,” antibias trainings are mainly offered as one-off workshops intending to raise awareness of unconscious biases, create a diversity-affirming corporate culture, promote awareness of the potential of
diversity, and ultimately enable the reflection of diversity in development processes. However, coming from childhood education, research and scientific articles on the sustainable effectiveness of antibias in adulthood, especially in academia, are very scarce. In order to fill this research gap, the article aims to explore how sustainable the effects of individual antibias trainings on participants’ behavior are. In order to investigate this, participant observation in a qualitative pre–post setting was conducted, analyzing antibias training in an academic context. Two observers actively participated in the training sessions and documented the activities and reflection processes of the participants. Overall, the results question the effectiveness of single antibias trainings and show that a target-group adaptive approach is mandatory owing to the background of the approach in early childhood education. Therefore, antibias work needs to be adapted to the target group’s needs and realities of life. Furthermore, the study reveals that single antibias trainings must be embedded in a holistic diversity management approach to stimulate sustainable reflection processes among the target group. This article is one of the first to scientifically evaluate antibias training effectiveness, especially in engineering sciences and the university context.
Throughout the last decade, and particularly in 2022, water scarcity has become a critical concern in Morocco and other Mediterranean countries. The lack of rainfall during spring was worsened by a succession of heat waves during the summer. To address this drought, innovative solutions, including the use of new technologies such as hydrogels, will be essential to transform agriculture. This paper presents the findings of a study that evaluated the impact of hydrogel application on onion (Allium cepa) cultivation in Meknes, Morocco. The treatments investigated in this study comprised two different types of hydrogel-based soil additives (Arbovit® polyacrylate and Huminsorb® polyacrylate), applied at two rates (30 and 20 kg/ha), and irrigated at two levels of water supply (100% and 50% of daily crop evapotranspiration; ETc). Two control treatments were included, without hydrogel application and with both water amounts. The experiment was conducted in an open field using a completely randomized design. The results indicated a significant impact of both hydrogel-type dose and water dose on onion plant growth, as evidenced by various vegetation parameters. Among the hydrogels tested, Huminsorb® Polyacrylate produced the most favorable outcomes, with treatment T9 (100%, HP, 30 kg/ha) yielding 70.55 t/ha; this represented an increase of 11 t/ha as compared to the 100% ETc treatment without hydrogel application. Moreover, the combination of hydrogel application with 50% ETc water stress showed promising results, with treatment T4 (HP, 30 kg, 50%) producing almost the same yield as the 100% ETc treatment without hydrogel while saving 208 mm of water.

Das besondere Merkmal der Pendelleuchte ist eine Öffnung, die eine einfache und intuitive Montage erleichtert. Die Pendelleuchte ist mit energieeffizienten LEDs ausgestattet und lässt sich mit einem Smart-Home-System bedienen. Die Lichtintensität und Lichtfarbe können den individuellen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden. „Calice di fiori“ mit schnell abnehmbarem Leuchtenschirm fügt sich in modern eingerichtete Räume ein und bringt einen Hauch Blütenflair mit sich.
Der heutige Alltag vieler Menschen ist durch längere Sitz-Einheiten gekennzeichnet, während die körperliche Bewegung vernachlässigt wird. Diese Entwicklung kann einen negativen Einfluss auf die Haltung von Personen und ihre Gesundheit haben. In diesem Fall ist eine korrekte Haltung nicht nur für die körperliche, sondern auch für die psychische Gesundheit von großer Relevanz. Die Bachelorarbeit „LittleHabit“ ermöglicht es, dass bei Kindern die Bewegung nach langen Sitz-Einheiten durch gezieltes Training zur Gewohnheit wird. Hierbei wird zwischen dem Zuhause- und dem Schulbereich differenziert. Zu Hause soll das Kind beim Erledigen der Hausaufgaben durch Animationen und Lichtsignale dazu motiviert werden, Bewegungspausen einzulegen. In der Schule soll dieses Vorhaben in reduzierter Form aufgegriffen und mithilfe von Licht- und Farbsignalen umgesetzt werden. Darüber hinaus fördert es die intrinsische Motivation, sodass Kinder aus eigenem Antrieb ein Interesse dafür entwickeln, sich nach langen Sitz-Einheiten zu bewegen. LittleHabit setzt einen Baustein für die Entwicklung einer gesunden Sitz-Haltung und zielt darauf ab, Haltungsschwächen zu verhindern.
In addition to the technical content, modern courses at university should also teach professional skills to enhance the competencies of students towards their future work. The competency driven approach including technical as well as professional skills makes it necessary to find a suitable way for the integration into the corresponding module in a scalable and flexible manner. Agile development, for example, is essential for the development of modern systems and applications and makes use of dedicated professional skills of the team members, like structured group dynamics and communication, to enable the fast and reliable development. This paper presents an easy to integrate and flexible approach to integrate Scrum, an agile development method, into the lab of an existing module. Due to the different role models of Scrum the students have an individual learning success, gain valuable insight into modern system development and strengthen their communication and organization skills. The approach is implemented and evaluated in the module Vehicle Systems, but it can be transferred easily to other technical courses as well. The evaluation of the implementation considers feedback of all stakeholders, students, supervisor and lecturers, and monitors the observations during project lifetime.
Durch das WEMoG (Gesetz v. 16.10.2020, BGBl. I 2187) hat der Gesetzgeber die Regelung des § 20 WEG eingeführt. Demnach ist auch für bauliche Veränderungen an Räumen und Flächen, die einem Sondernutzungsrecht unterliegen, die Zustimmung der Gemeinschaft notwendig. Der BGH hat nun mit Urt. v. 17.3.2023 –V ZR 140/22, MDR 2023, 619 deutlich gemacht, dass bei Fehlen eines entsprechenden Beschlusses, die bauliche Veränderung durch einen einzelnen Wohnungseigentümer nicht vorgenommen werden darf, sondern eine rechtswidrige Eigentumsbeeinträchtigung darstellt. Der folgende Beitrag nimmt die Entscheidung zum Anlass, um die neue Rechtslage durch § 20 WEG eingehend zu erläutern. Gleichzeitig werden die Folgen der aktuellen Entscheidung näher dargestellt.
Melting probes are a proven tool for the exploration of thick ice layers and clean sampling of subglacial water on Earth. Their compact size and ease of operation also make them a key technology for the future exploration of icy moons in our Solar System, most prominently Europa and Enceladus. For both mission planning and hardware engineering, metrics such as efficiency and expected performance in terms of achievable speed, power requirements, and necessary heating power have to be known.
Theoretical studies aim at describing thermal losses on the one hand, while laboratory experiments and field tests allow an empirical investigation of the true performance on the other hand. To investigate the practical value of a performance model for the operational performance in extraterrestrial environments, we first contrast measured data from terrestrial field tests on temperate and polythermal glaciers with results from basic heat loss models and a melt trajectory model. For this purpose, we propose conventions for the determination of two different efficiencies that can be applied to both measured data and models. One definition of efficiency is related to the melting head only, while the other definition considers the melting probe as a whole. We also present methods to combine several sources of heat loss for probes with a circular cross-section, and to translate the geometry of probes with a non-circular cross-section to analyse them in the same way. The models were selected in a way that minimizes the need to make assumptions about unknown parameters of the probe or the ice environment.
The results indicate that currently used models do not yet reliably reproduce the performance of a probe under realistic conditions. Melting velocities and efficiencies are constantly overestimated by 15 to 50 % in the models, but qualitatively agree with the field test data. Hence, losses are observed, that are not yet covered and quantified by the available loss models. We find that the deviation increases with decreasing ice temperature. We suspect that this mismatch is mainly due to the too restrictive idealization of the probe model and the fact that the probe was not operated in an efficiency-optimized manner during the field tests. With respect to space mission engineering, we find that performance and efficiency models must be used with caution in unknown ice environments, as various ice parameters have a significant effect on the melting process. Some of these are difficult to estimate from afar.
Manufacturing companies across multiple industries face an increasingly dynamic and unpredictable environment. This development can be seen on both the market and supply side. To respond to these challenges, manufacturing companies must implement smart manufacturing systems and become more flexible and agile. The flexibility in operational planning regarding the scheduling and sequencing of customer orders needs to be increased and new structures must be implemented in manufacturing systems’ fundamental design as they constitute much of the operational flexibility available. To this end, smart and more flexible solutions for production planning and control (PPC) are developed. However, scheduling or sequencing is often only considered isolated in a predefined stable environment. Moreover, their orientation on the fundamental logic of the existing IT solutions and their applicability in a dynamic environment is limited. This paper presents a conceptual model for a task-based description logic that can be applied to factory planning, technology planning, and operational control. By using service-oriented architectures, the goal is to generate smart manufacturing systems. The logic is designed to allow for easy and automated maintenance. It is compatible with the existing resource and process allocation logic across operational and strategic factory and production planning.
Traditional vulcanization mold manufacturing is complex, costly, and under pressure due to shorter product lifecycles and diverse variations. Additive manufacturing using Fused Filament Fabrication and high-performance polymers like PEEK offer a promising future in this industry. This study assesses the compressive strength of various infill structures (honeycomb, grid, triangle, cubic, and gyroid) when considering two distinct build directions (Z, XY) to enhance PEEK’s economic and resource efficiency in rapid tooling. A comparison with PETG samples shows the behavior of the infill strategies. Additionally, a proof of concept illustrates the application of a PEEK mold in vulcanization. A peak compressive strength of 135.6 MPa was attained in specimens that were 100% solid and subjected to thermal post-treatment. This corresponds to a 20% strength improvement in the Z direction. In terms of time and mechanical properties, the anisotropic grid and isotropic cubic infill have emerged for use in rapid tooling. Furthermore, the study highlights that reducing the layer thickness from 0.15 mm to 0.1 mm can result in a 15% strength increase. The study unveils the successful utilization of a room-temperature FFF-printed PEEK mold in vulcanization injection molding. The parameters and infill strategies identified in this research enable the resource-efficient FFF printing of PEEK without compromising its strength properties. Using PEEK in rapid tooling allows a cost reduction of up to 70% in tool production.

Um ein magnetbasiertes Sensorsystem (300;400) zur Erfassung einer Bewegung eines beweglichen Objekts (301;401) zu ermöglichen, das ohne externe Energieversorgung zuverlässig sowie energieeffizient arbeitet und kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann, ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Sensorvorrichtung (10;110;210;310;410) eine Wiegand-Triggereinheit (14;14a) vorhanden, umfassend: • - einen Wiegand-Draht (30) und • - eine Trigger-Sensorspule (32), die den Wiegand-Draht (30) radial umschließt, wobei ein erstes Ende der Trigger-Sensorspule (32) der Wiegand-Triggereinheit (14;14a) mit einem ersten Ende des Triggerelements (28;128;228) der Wiegand-Sensoreinheit (12;112;212) elektrisch verbunden ist und ein zweites Ende der Trigger-Sensorspule (32) der Wiegand-Triggereinheit (14;14a) mit einem zweiten Ende des Triggerelements (28;128;228) der Wiegand-Sensoreinheit (12;112;212) elektrisch verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise verstärkt ein in der Trigger-Sensorspule (32) erzeugter Impuls das Gesamtmagnetfeld, das auf die Wiegand-Drähte (20) in der Sensoreinheit einwirkt, derart, dass die Triggefeldstärke aller Wiegand-Drähte (20) überschritten wird und diese im wesentlichen zeitgleich auslösen.
Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 requires global collaboration between different stakeholders. Industry, and in particular engineers who shape industrial developments, have a special role to play as they are confronted with the responsibility to holistically reflect sustainability in industrial processes. This means that, in addition to the technical specifications, engineers must also question the effects of their own actions on an ecological, economic and social level in order to ensure sustainable action and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. However, this requires competencies that enable engineers to apply all three pillars of sustainability to their own field of activity and to understand the global impact of industrial processes. In this context, it is relevant to understand how industry already reflects sustainability and to identify competences needed for sustainable development.

This book is based on a multimedia course for biological and chemical engineers, which is designed to trigger students' curiosity and initiative. A solid basic knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics is necessary for understanding many technical, chemical, and biological processes.
The one-semester basic lecture course was divided into 12 workshops (chapters). Each chapter covers a practically relevant area of physical chemistry and contains the following didactic elements that make this book particularly exciting and understandable:
- Links to Videos at the start of each chapter as preparation for the workshop
- Key terms (in bold) for further research of your own
- Comprehension questions and calculation exercises with solutions as learning checks
- Key illustrations as simple, easy-to-replicate blackboard pictures
Humorous cartoons for each workshop (by Faelis) additionally lighten up the text and facilitate the learning process as a mnemonic. To round out the book, the appendix includes a summary of the most popular experiments in basic physical chemistry courses, as well as suggestions for designing workshops with exhibits, experiments, and "questions of the day."
Suitable for students minoring in chemistry; chemistry majors are sure to find this slimmed-down, didactically valuable book helpful as well. The book is excellent for self-study.
In times of social climate protection movements, such as Fridays for Future, the priorities of society, industry and higher education are currently changing. The consideration of sustainability challenges is increasing. In the context of sustainable development, social skills are crucial to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, the impact that educational activities have on people, communities and society is therefore coming to the fore. Research has shown that people with high levels of social competence are better able to manage stressful situations, maintain positive relationships and communicate effectively. They are also associated with better academic performance and career success. However, especially in engineering programs, the social pillar is underrepresented compared to the environmental and economic pillars.
In response to these changes, higher education institutions should be more aware of their social impact - from individual forms of teaching to entire modules and degree programs. To specifically determine the potential for improvement and derive resulting change for further development, we present an initial framework for social impact measurement by transferring already established approaches from the business sector to the education sector. To demonstrate the applicability, we measure the key competencies taught in undergraduate engineering programs in Germany.
The aim is to prepare the students for success in the modern world of work and their future contribution to sustainable development. Additionally, the university can include the results in its sustainability report. Our method can be applied to different teaching methods and enables their comparison.
Der Uni-Cup ist ein Amateur Eishockey Turnier der RWTH Aachen. Es treten Studierende und Professor:innen gegeneinander an. Ausgetragen wurde das Turnier vor etwa 2.500 Zuschauern in der 100,5 Arena am Tivoli. Um das Event einer breiteren Masse zugänglich zu machen, wurde dort im Rahmen der Bachelorarbeit erstmals eine Live Übertragung produziert. Das Ziel dabei war es, eine möglichst professionelle und unterhaltsame Show zu kreieren.
