F{\"u}r die Erstellung eines Energieausweises werden geb{\"a}udespezifische Daten ben{\"o}tigt, weshalb sie oft nicht f{\"u}r alle Geb{\"a}ude vorliegen oder erst durch eine Begehung vor Ort erfasst werden k{\"o}nnen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die M{\"o}glichkeit, durch die Identifikation eines Datenschemas, basierend auf einer integrativen Analyse von Energieausweisen, Energiebedarfsvorhersagen f{\"u}r unbekannte Wohngeb{\"a}ude zu treffen. Die Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht in der Identifikation wesentlicher Merkmale aus offenen Datenquellen, welche den Energiebedarf signifikant beeinflussen sowie deren Integration in ein kompaktes und effizientes Regressionsmodell. Dabei werden verschiedene maschinelle Lernmethoden, insbesondere das Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), eingesetzt, um Modelle zu entwickeln und zu validieren, die auf Daten aus Energieausweisen basieren. Daf{\"u}r werden unter anderem Merkmale aus den beschriebenen Merkmalen zum Dach, der Außenw{\"a}nde, zu Fenstern und zum Boden extrahiert und in neue Merkmale {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt. Dies sind unter anderem Dach- und Wandtyp, das zugeh{\"o}rige Isolationsniveau und der Verglasungsgrad der Fenster. Im Anschluss werden drei Datens{\"a}tze entwickelt und auf ihre Leistung untersucht. Eine Analyse der Merkmalsrelevanz hat gezeigt, dass {\"u}ber alle Datens{\"a}tze hinweg bestimmte Merkmale wie Geb{\"a}udetyp, Baujahr, Wohnfl{\"a}che, D{\"a}mmungsgrad und geografische Lage entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Vorhersage des Energiebedarfs haben. Das auf den Fernerkundungsdaten basierte Modell, wies nach Optimierung ein Bestimmtheitsmaß R2 von 0,64 und einen mittleren absoluten Fehler (MAE) von 4,12 auf. Der Fehler bezieht sich auf eine Effizienzskala von 1-100 (Energieklasse G-A). Nach Skalierung der Pipeline und durch Erg{\"a}nzung weiterer Datenpunkte, konnte der Wert auf 0,84 erh{\"o}ht werden. Durch die Erg{\"a}nzung von vebrauchsabh{\"a}ngigen Merkmalen, erreichte das XGB-Regressionsmodell ein R2 von 0,94 und einen MAE von 1,46 {\"u}ber den Trainings- und Testdatensatz. Zur weiteren Validierung werden die Auswirkungen der einzelnen Merkmale {\"u}ber Shapley-Werte quantifiziert, um die Auswirkungen der Merkmale bei der Vorhersage zu interpretieren. Die entwickelten Modelle erreichten eine hohe Prognosegenauigkeit und demonstrierten eine signifikante Verbesserung gegen{\"u}ber herk{\"o}mmlichen Methoden. Die Erstellung der Datens{\"a}tze erfolgte unter Verwendung der Programmiersprache Python sowie des Frameworks Scikit-learn (Version 1.4.1) zur Entwicklung der Modelle. Die erzeugten Datens{\"a}tze und Modelle wurden in eine reproduzierbare Pipeline {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt und stehen nach Freigabe unter GitHub zur Verf{\"u}gung.}, language = {de} } @article{SpoelerLautzRickmannetal.2023, author = {Sp{\"o}ler, Thomas and Lautz, Manuel and Rickmann, Lars and Mathys, Werner and Rickamm, Bernd and B{\"a}cker, Carsten}, title = {Trinkwasserhygiene sicher planen - Ermittlung des Betriebsrisikos f{\"u}r eine Trinkwasserinstallation auf Grundlage einer Rohrnetzberechnung}, series = {tab}, volume = {54.

As energy systems transition towards a growing share of renewable energy sources and technological complexity, environmental impacts that affect more than just GHG emissions, such as resource extractions, water and land use impacts or impacts on human health, are becoming increasingly relevant. To address this gap, this thesis introduces an automated coupling procedure for energy system modeling (ESM) and life cycle assessment (LCA). The implementation includes general recommendations and a practical coupling of the Open Energy Modelling Framework (oemof) based Spreadsheet Energy System Model Generator (SESMG) with a suitable LCA software. The LCA procedure involves goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. To adapt these steps to different energy system models, the LCA should be attributional, process-based and territorial. Further, the openLCA software by Green-Delta serves as a suitable soft-linking tool. The main challenge of the coupling procedure is the inventory analysis. Data collection faces limitations, reasoned by the commercialization and high maintenance efforts in open-source databases. After evaluating free databases, the Prozessorientierte Basisdaten f{\"u}r Umweltmanagement-Instrumente (ProBas) database of the Umweltbundesamt emerged as the most suitable choice for the coupling. However, also this database lacks traceability of datasets or compatibility with a comprehensive impact assessment. A generalized framework for the LCA application of energy systems was developed. The framework is based on an ex-post LCA assessment that considers the combination of the two approaches within every step of the procedure. Main considerations of this framework include automatic calculations of the inventory analysis and the impact assessment for different energy technologies, as well as calculations summed up for all technologies of energy system scenarios. Further, technology mapping and data harmonization are essential considerations for the automatic coupling and double counting of impacts needs to be avoided. Subsequently, the framework is realized with the adaption of the SESMG. Its database-independent realization allows compatibility with different databases in openLCA. For the selected ProBas database, the tool can be used with different available energy technologies. The use of unit processes is encouraged for data harmonization. Result interpretation of the LCA (in general or with the SESMG) should not solely focus on the absolute values of the impact categories, but rather on the comparative strengths among scenarios and technologies. The successful application to a reference single-family building using the ProBas database revealed varied environmental impacts, in relation with a higher reduction in GHG emissions, with an increase of 11 \% in terrestrial acidification impacts in the emission-optimized scenario. These findings emphasize a more comprehensive perspective on environmental impacts and provide a valuable validation of the developed methodology. Future research should include the improvement of data harmonization, the inclusion of more datasets for a more customized analysis of energy systems and more applications. The coupled approach offers a promising avenue for gaining deeper insights into optimizing urban energy systems.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Budde2022, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Budde, Janik}, title = {Residential load profile tools - A review and comparison of applied tools}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17857}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-178573}, pages = {16}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The energy demand of the residential sector contributed to about 29 \% of Germany's final energy consumption in 2020. For the planning and optimization of energy systems, an understanding of the temporal energy consumption is necessary. This paper discusses tools for estimating these load profiles. Load profiles for electricity, space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) are investigated. A total of ten tools were applied. It turns out that the selected load profiles are dependent on the field of application. Load profiles influence the results of energy system modeling and therefore it is important to differentiate load profile tools. Standardized load profiles are well suited when a large number of buildings are considered. Stochastic load profiles, behavioral load profiles and the reference load profiles are well suited for building-specific simulations. Physical load pro- files are well suited for single building models, but as soon as several buildings are considered, the input effort for a sufficient accuracy is high.}, language = {de} } @misc{MesenhoellerJacobsVennemann2022, author = {Mesenh{\"o}ller, Eva and Jacobs, Steffen and Vennemann, Peter}, title = {Raumstr{\"o}mung bei instation{\"a}rem Betrieb von RLT-Anlagen - Experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen mit PIV und CFD}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17860}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-178605}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Posterzusammenfassung der Hintergr{\"u}nde, Ziele, Methoden (messtechnisch und numerisch) und Ergebnisse im Projekt zu instation{\"a}rer L{\"u}ftung.}, language = {de} } @misc{MesenhoellerVennemannHussong2019, author = {Mesenh{\"o}ller, Eva and Vennemann, Peter and Hussong, Jeanette}, title = {Raumstr{\"o}mungsmessung mit Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) - Instation{\"a}rer Betrieb von RLT-Anlagen}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17859}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-178597}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Posterzusammenfassung der Hintergr{\"u}nde, Ziele, Messprinzipien, Messungen und des Versuchsstandes im Projekt zur Untersuchung instation{\"a}rer Rauml{\"u}ftung.}, language = {de} } @misc{MesenhoellerVennemann2018, author = {Mesenh{\"o}ller, Eva and Vennemann, Peter}, title = {Raumstr{\"o}mungsmessung mit Particle Image Velocimetry - Instation{\"a}rer Betrieb von RLT-Anlagen}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17858}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-178587}, year = {2018}, abstract = {{\"U}berblick {\"u}ber Methodik, Hintergr{\"u}nde und Ziele des Projekts zu instation{\"a}rer Rauml{\"u}ftung sowie bisherige Untersuchungsschwerpunkte auf diesem Gebiet.}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{TocklothKlemmBeckeretal.2024, author = {Tockloth, Jan N. and Klemm, Christian and Becker, Gregor and Blankenstein, Benjamin and Vennemann, Peter}, title = {Der Spreadsheet Energy System Model Generator (SESMG): Ein Tool zur Optimierung urbaner Energiesysteme}, series = {16.

Klassische Planungsmethoden kommen an ihre Grenzen. Die Energiesystemmodellierung (ESM) bietet eine M{\"o}glichkeit, ein Energiesystem hinsichtlich der Kosten und der Treibhausgas (THG)- Emissionen zu optimieren. Gleichzeitig ergibt sich aus der Energiewende und angestrebten THG-Neutralit{\"a}t ein akuter Handlungsbedarf. Dies gilt auch f{\"u}r die 1 500 Kasernen in Deutschland. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden der bestehende Modellierungsprozess des Spreadsheet Energy System Model Generator (SESMG) erweitert, indem Herausforderungen der Modellierung und Optimierung von Kasernen identifiziert und L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze hierzu entwickelt werden. Diese Arbeit basiert auf der ESM einer realen Kaserne. Es kann das Urban District Upscaling Tool zur Erstellung der f{\"u}r den SESMG ben{\"o}tigten Modelldefinition verwendet werden. Die Open-Source Datenbank SESMG-Data, kann automatisch die ben{\"o}tigte Standard Parameter Tabelle mit zugeh{\"o}rigem Bericht generieren. Weiterhin wurde ein Energieaustauschmodell vorgestellt, das den Energieaustausch zwischen Kasernen eines Bilanzkreises erm{\"o}glicht. Ein Fokus liegt auf der Abbildung zuk{\"u}nftiger Ausbaupl{\"a}ne. Dazu wurden kasernenspezifische Geb{\"a}udeprofile entwickelt, die gemittelte spezifische Energiebedarfe und weitere Parameter zur Berechnung der Wand-, Fenster-, und Dachfl{\"a}che enthalten. Der spezifische W{\"a}rmebedarf kann durch einen Faktor an die Baualtersklasse angepasst werden.

Zur Reduktion der Komponenten im Energiesystemoptimierungsmodell (ESOM) k{\"o}nnen die Dachfl{\"a}chenpotenziale von Photovoltaikanlagen zusammengefasst werden. Da Kasernen nur eine Bilanzgrenze besitzen, k{\"o}nnen zudem auch die Strombedarfe der einzelnen Geb{\"a}ude zusammengefasst werden. Damit lassen sich gleichzeitig dezentrale Batteriespeicher als Komponente des ESOMs ausschließen. Die Potenzialfl{\"a}chen von Erdw{\"a}rmepumpen k{\"o}nnen zusammengefasst werden, wobei Abstands- und Belastbarkeitsgrenzen eingehalten werden m{\"u}ssen. Kasernen verf{\"u}gen h{\"a}ufig {\"u}ber Bestandsw{\"a}rmenetze, die im ESOM gesondert ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden m{\"u}ssen.

This paper mainly focuses on analyzing this potential. Field tests were conducted to investigate the irrigation behavior and the storage effect of a storm water tree pit system using Perl hoses as irrigation elements over a period of two years. The rainfall, storage volumes, and soil moisture within the employed planting pit were measured. With the help of system modeling, the retention ability of the storm water tree pit system was analyzed. The available storage volume was sufficient to irrigate trees for several days. During the measurement period, about 15\% of the inflowing rainwater was fed to the root zone of the tree. With practical storage volumes of 200 to 300 m3/ha, a remarkable amount of water from heavy rainfall could be completely stored, thus significantly reducing the risk of flooding. The retention effect and irrigation behavior largely depend on the soil conditions and the technical possibilities of the equipment supplying the root area (in this case, Perl hoses). Further investigations are required to determine the influence on the growth conditions of trees and optimize of the system for discharge into the root zone.}, language = {en} } @misc{OPUS4-17636, title = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, editor = {Vennemann, Peter and Klemm, Christian and Blankenstein, Benjamin}, publisher = {FH M{\"u}nster}, address = {M{\"u}nster}, doi = {10.25974/ren_rev_2024_00}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-176363}, pages = {1-93}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews (EduJRESR, formally published as 'EGU Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews') is a teaching project rather than a regular scientific journal.

Students receive an equivalent of 2.5 credit points (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS) for their engagement in the course and for publishing a short review article of at most 3 000 words in this periodical. The publication process closely mimics the typical publication procedure of a regular journal. The peer-review process, however, is conducted within the group of course-participants. Although being just an exercise, we think that publishing the outcome of this course in a citable manner is not only promoting the motivation of our students, but may also be a helpful source of introductory information for researchers and practitioners in the field of renewable energies. We encourage students to write their articles in English, but this is not mandatory. The reader will thus find a few articles in German language. To further encourage students practicing English writing, perfect grammar is not part of the assessment. We especially thank our students for working with LATEX on Overleaf, although LATEX is new to some of them. In this way, the editorial workload was reduced to a minimum. We also thank our students for sharing their work under the creative commons attribution licence (CC-BY).

Its expansion is therefore important in order to achieve the climate targets. Repowering is an important element in the expansion of wind energy. On the one hand, it offers a solution for many wind turbines in Germany that are no longer subsidised due to their age. On the other hand, modern turbines are significantly more powerful and enable more efficient land utilisation. This article provides an overview of the most important aspects of onshore repowering. There is a lot to consider when repowering wind turbines. The legal situation for repowering aims to be improved through simplified authorisation procedures. Even though efforts are being made by the government, there is still room for improvement. The repowering potential is also dependent on the various distance regulations to residential buildings in the federal states. These regulations might also be improved in the future. Another aspect is the remuneration, which is now closer to market developments due to the market premium model. It is also subject to greater competition as a result of the tendering process. At the same time, interest rates and turbine prices have risen, which creates economic challenges for the operators of future wind farms. Last but not least, repowering also depends on public acceptance. This is also to be regulated by law in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{Weisser2024, author = {Weißer, Hannes}, title = {Relevance of Bird Strikes on Wind Turbines in Germany: A Review}, series = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, journal = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, doi = {10.25974/ren_rev_2024_13}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-176500}, pages = {79 -- 84}, year = {2024}, abstract = {As Germany aims to increase its utilization of wind power, the potential threat to bird populations due to this expansion is a controversial issue. This paper aims to collect data on the magnitude of bird strikes on wind turbines, review existing protective measures and explore innovative solutions. After a thorough examination of the literature, it was concluded that although the impact on bird populations is significant, it may be overemphasized in popular debates. This statement is not final as further research is necessary to assess the impact of bird strikes and explore new solutions. Comprehensive studies on this specific topic in Germany are limited, which makes a thorough evaluation challenging. While there are measures in place to protect species that may be negatively impacted, it is possible that these measures will not be adequate for all of them. While several innovative methods are under examination, progress in testing and implementation is slow. Lastly, an information problem was identified. Since the topic is highly politicized and polarizing, it is crucial to provide the public with accessible and reliable information on the discussed themes.

Various challenges arise when it comes to upscaling. This article summarizes the technical challenges associated with upscaling wind turbines and presenting their problem-solving approaches and research trends based on other reviews. It was found that the most frequently cited challenges are related to individual components, such as rotor blades, drive train, generator, tower, and noise impact. For rotor blades, the challenges are increased flexibility, more aeroelastic vibrations, increased wear, interferences with radar and transportation difficulties. Proposed solutions include the use of carbon-fiber blades, prebending, novel paints, and for transportation, segmented rotor blades and on-site manufacturing. In the gearbox, torque increases, leading to higher weight and susceptibility to errors. As a result, the trend is moving towards gearless systems with permanent magnet synchronous generators. Transportation is the major issue with towers, which can be resolved with on-site manufacturing. In terms of noise emission, reducing aerodynamic noise plays the most significant role.}, language = {en} } @article{Reintjes2024, author = {Reintjes, Jannis}, title = {Dismantling of wind turbines - An overview of methods}, series = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, journal = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, doi = {10.25974/ren_rev_2024_11}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-176481}, pages = {67 -- 72}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This paper outlines the three main areas relevant to dismantling: the rotor blades, hub and nacelle, the tower and the foundation.

Challenges consist of logistics, accessibility and high costs. The paper presents the application of climbing robots, unmanned aerial vehicles and underwater robots to overcome these challenges. The combination of multiple robotic platforms, such as autonomous surface vehicles and autonomous underwater vehicles, represents a collaborative approach to O\&M. Obstacles include the need for accurate navigation, building trust between humans and robots, and research into artificial intelligence. In conclusion, the integration of robotics in O\&M presents considerable advantages, increasing efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness.

In the context of this paper, energy recovery in the outlet of wastewater treatment plants is examined using the specific example of the water wheel at the Warendorf central wastewater treatment plant. The "artificial" hydropower potential can be roughly estimated at up to 20 to 105 GWh/a , whereby this is largely dependent on the hydraulic gradient. The strong variance results, among other things, from the findings of the water wheel operation in Warendorf. The decisive aspect here is the differential factor, which describes the deviation between the theoretical and actual energy yield of the water wheel. The factor includes maintenance work, downtimes and insufficient inflows, which are associated with a loss of output. In the case study, the annual energy recovery amounts to approx. 2 \% of the annual electricity consumption of the wastewater treatment plant and can be estimated to 23,500 kWh (2022). In the context of the economic analysis, it can be seen that despite the "low" yield, economic operation is possible if the system is viewed as a long-term investment - payback period of the example is approx. 14,5 years. The 27-year operation (1996 - 2023) of the water wheel at the Warendorf central wastewater treatment plant confirms this and important findings on successful practical operation can be shown in the context of this paper.}, language = {en} }
