Student theses
The general procedure of the Studienarbeit (SA, “student research project”) and Diplomarbeit (DA, “diploma thesis”) at the Chair of Components of Intelligent Energy Systems can be found below:
- Preliminary discussion together with the potential supervisor to get to know each other, introduction into the topic and the task assignment.
- Definition of the task assignment by the chair and mutual determination of the submission deadline (depends on the specified time in the study regulations)
- Familiarization with the topic by studying relevant literature and the support of the supervisor.
- Setting of the time schedule (e. g. Gantt chart) to ensure a timely and comprehensive completion of the task assignment.
- Execution of the experiments, model simulations, calculations, construction of test stands, establishment, verification of methods, …
- Evaluation and analysis of the results in consultation with the supervisor
- Writing the thesis
- Presenting the results in a defense (optional for student research projects for the study course Regenerative Energiesysteme RES)
Writing a thesis at our chair offers you the possibility to deepen your individual knowledge by working on theoretical or practical research topics. Your personal interests will be respected when searching or defining a topic for the assignment.
The student research project or diploma thesis will prepare you optimally to autonomously solve engineering problems and will encourage you to choose a scientific approach to problem-solving.

Electrical contact and connections
| DA | Compression joints for stranded conductors are used in many parts of the energy supply network and must meet requirements in terms of operational safety and reliability. Electrical-thermal simulations are increasingly being used to analyze connections used in the field. The parameterization of the electrical models is of crucial importance, but is difficult due to the large number of unknown parameters. The aim of this work is to support and simplify the parameterization of the models by means of experimental tests. |

Loading electrical contacts with high short-time currents can lead to softening of the contact materials once the softening temperature has been reached. This can lead to a change in the contact resistance during the short circuit. In order to be able to reliably model the heating behavior of electrical contacts in FEM models, it is necessary to know the softening behavior of the contact materials used. In this work, the electrical and thermal behavior of contacts subjected to short-time currents is to be determined experimentally using the example of the DC charging connector. |

Electromobility aims to increase the use of electrically powered vehicles in private transportation. The electrification of the drive system leads to new requirements for the joining processes used for current-carrying conductors if they are to carry electrical currents safely and with long-term stability. One forming joining process used in the automotive industry is clinching. In previous long-term studies, the contact behavior of clinch connections was always evaluated using the connection resistance or the quality factor. In order to be able to evaluate the contact behavior of these joints in more detail, it is necessary to calculate the proportions of the material and contact resistance in the joint resistance in FEM models. These resistance components are then used in parameter studies to evaluate the influence of various geometric parameters of clinch connections on the electrical contact behavior. |

| DA | The loads acting on an electrical connection are manifold. Up to now, finite element simulations, from which statements on contact behavior can be derived, have usually only examined the mechanics or the electrical or thermal flow field or a coupling of two of these variables. In this work, the interaction of mechanics and the electrical and thermal flow field in a model contact system is to be investigated using modern FE software. |

| DA/SA | In numerous investigations, the force reduction on bolted connections with busbars was evaluated with the course of the connection force. A new evaluation of the existing and current test results is to be carried out on the course of the mean mechanical stress in the joint. |
