Beschreibung

Powerful and affordable energy supply significantly influences the potential for independent economic development and prosperity. However, in the countries of the "global south" - especially in Sub-Saharan Africa - electricity supply is nonexistent or unreliable in many places. The UN has also recognized this problem and issued "Affordable and Clean Energy for All" as Sustainable Development Goal 7. Decentralized energy systems are promising solutions, but suffer from economic barriers. At the same time, electric mobility offers an opportunity to drive the unstoppable mobilization of the rural population in a more sustainable and cost-effective way than is possible with fossil-fueled vehicles. Furthermore, innovative, modular battery systems still enable both the productive use of the energy provided for higher incomes even in remote areas and cheaper, more efficient and better suited electric vehicles.

Such systems shall be examined more closely using existing models and prototypes. If you're interested, drop me an e-mail (philipp.rosner@tum.de) or call me (089 289 15352) in case you need further clarification.

The thesis can be done in English or German language.
