Contributions to Control Systems in the winter semester 2023/2024
In order to support the professional exchange in control and automation technology far beyond the borders of our university, some years ago a colloquium series with the name “Contributions to Control Systems” was brought into being at the Institute of Automatic Control. Speakers from industry and research talk about their work in relevant developments and applications in the field of automatic control.
All parties interested are very welcome.
We would be happy to add you to our corresponding IRT email list. Please contact Nicole Schliewe to be added.

Challenges for the production of chemical hydrogen carriers
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Peschel
INW - Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy
Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH
Abstrakt:
Hydrogen and hydrogen-based energy carrier will play a key role in defossilizing the global energy system. In cases where pipeline supply of hydrogen is possible, this is likely to be the most energy-efficient and thus cost-efficient mode of transport. However, pipeline supply is not feasible for very long distances and involves significant initial investment. From an economic perspective, there is a need to diversify the supply sources and transport routes for hydrogen. The development of chemical hydrogen source technologies including production, distribution and integration of use cases is the core of the recently established Institute for Sustainable Hydrogen Economy at FZ Jülich.
In the presentation, different forms of chemical hydrogen storage, such as gaseous hydrogen (GH2), liquid hydrogen (LH2), synthetic natural gas (SNG), ammonia (NH3), methanol (MeOH), dimethyl ether (DME) and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are introduced and the challenges in (dynamic) production and use are discussed.

Bicycle Dynamics and Control
Biomechanical Engineering. Department of Mechanical Engineering
TU Delft
Netherlands
Abstrakt:
Robots can restore movement abilities of upper and lower limbs. As training devices, they can promote neurorehabilitation after neurological injuries such as spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury or stroke. As assistive devices, they can support patients or elders with gait impairments in daily life situations. This talk will present the first rehabilitation devices that were controlled by human operators before the first open-loop and closed-loop devices were developed. Then, the talk will highlight new intention detection strategies, patient-cooperative controllers, and controllers that even include the mechanical interactions of the therapist. It concludes with a visionary outlook of future rehabilitation technologies.
