Die Integration von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) im Gesundheitswesen ist zu einem Schwerpunktthema geworden und dominiert aktuell Diskussionen in Kliniken allgemein als auch Pathologien spezifisch. Trotz des Enthusiasmus klafft nach wie vor eine Lücke zwischen den Erwartungen der Anwender und den tatsächlichen Vorteilen nach der Implementierung. Dies spiegelt sich in den Herausforderungen der KI-Integration wider.
In der folgenden wissenschaftlichen Studie widmen wir uns den Erwartungen von Akteuren im Gesundheitswesen – spezifisch in Kliniken und Pathologien – an KI-Lösungen und ihren Einsatz. Dabei wird ein besonderer Fokus auf die dahinterliegenden Faktoren gelegt, die die aktuellen Erwartungen und die daraufhin ergriffenen Maßnahmen beeinflussen. Unsere Ergebnisse stützen sich sowohl auf den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs als auch auf die weite, öffentliche Diskussion zur praktischen Umsetzung – wie in Expertenberichten, Interviews, Konferenzbeiträgen und Artikeln aus Politik, Kliniken und weiteren Institutionen.
Dadurch trägt die Studie zu einem besseren Verständnis der aktuellen KI-Erwartungen und ihrer beeinflussenden Faktoren bei und befähigt Akteure in dem Markt, die Zukunft von KI im Gesundheitswesen mitzugestalten.
Der Abschlussbericht fasst die im Wintersemester 2023/2024 erzielten Ergebnisse des Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojektes im Studiengang Master of Science Wirtschaftsinformatik an der FH Münster zusammen.
Das Forschungsprojekt befasste sich mit der Fragestellung, wie sich hochperformanter Code in systemfernen Programmiersprachen wie Java oder JavaScript integrieren lässt, um die vorhandene Hardwareleistung moderner CPUs und GPUs besser ausnutzen zu können. Derzeitig wird hierzu sowohl im Umfeld der Java-Plattform als auch in einer Working Group des World Wide Web Consortiums an Vorschlägen zur verbesserten SIMD-Integration gearbeitet. Im Forschungprojekt wurden diese Vorschläge aufgegriffen und hinichtlich des resultierenden Programmieraufwandes und der erzielbaren Leistungssteigerung qualitativ und quantitativ bewertet. Für JavaScript-basierte Browseranwendungen standen die Schnittstellen WebGPU und WebGL im Mittelpunkt, im Java-Umfeld wurden die drei Schnittstellen Foreign Functions & Memory API, Java Vector API und Java Native Interface (JNI) miteinander verglichen und bewertet.

Abschlussbericht FEP 2022
(2022)
Der Abschlussbericht fasst die im Sommersemester 2022 erzielten Ergebnisse des Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojektes im Studiengang Master of Science Wirtschaftsinformatik an der FH Münster zusammen.
Das Forschungsprojekt gliederte sich in drei thematische Blöcke. Der erste Block betrachtete den aktuell aufkommenden Ansatz, WebAssembly-Anwendungen in serverseitigen Umgebungen auszuführen. Die vielfältigen Leistungsfaktoren, z. B. mögliche Quellsprachen, Werkzeuge und Plattformen, wurde in systematischen Messungen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses und der Leistungsfähigkeit miteinander verglichen. Im zweiten Themenblock standen jeweils zwei Programmiersprachen im Mittelpunkt. So wurden die Programmiersprachen Rust und Go hinsichtlich der Unterstützung von Nebenläufigkeit anhand des Beispiels eines prototypischen Webservers analysiert und gegenübergestellt. Weitere Leistungsdaten wurden für die Sprachen Rust und Python hinsichtlich der Verarbeitung von Graphalgorithmen erhoben und verglichen. Der dritte Themenblock befasste sich mit Kommunikationsaspekten in Service-Mesh-Architekturen. Hier wurden verschiedene Circuit-Breaker-Implementierungen sowie unterschiedliche Proxy-Ansätze zur Steuerung des Nachrichtenverkehrs gegenübergestellt und bewertet.
Das vorliegende Handbuch ist im Rahmen des EU-Projektes "Energyducation" (Förderkennzeichen KA2 2018-1-ES01-KA202-050327) entstanden und von Berufspädagogen, überwiegend praktizierenden Berufsschullehrerinnen und -lehrern, aus Deutschland (Institut für Berufliche Lehrerbildung an der FH Münster), den Niederlanden (Alfa-college in Groningen), Norwegen (NTI-MMM AS in Oslo) und Spanien (CIFP USURBIL LHII in Usurbil) verfasst worden. Vorlage war eine englische Fassung die umfangreich überarbeitet und im Hinblick auf die im deutschen Sprachraum vorherrschenden Begrifflichkeiten und Konzepte hin geschärft wurde.
Es dokumentiert die mit dem projektbasierten Lernen gesammelten Erfahrungen aus der Sicht von Praktikern. Die Besonderheit ist, dass die Erfahrungen untereinander abgeglichen wurden und damit länderübergreifende Erkenntnisse zusammengeführt wurden. Das vorliegende Handbuch versteht sich dabei nicht als wissenschaftliches Werk, greift aber Erkenntnisse aus der Lehreraus- und -fortbildung auf und stellt diese vor dem Hintergrund der gesammelten Erfahrungen dar.

The EGU Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews (EGUJRenEnRev) is a teaching project rather that a regular scientific journal. To publish in this journal, it is a premise to take part in the master course wind power, hydro power and biomass usage at the faculty of Energy, Building Services and Environmental Engineering of the Münster University of Applied Sciences.
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 3000 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). I appreciate their contribution to scientific information, being available to every person of the world, almost without barriers. I also thank the corresponding authors and publishers of the cited work, for granting permission to reuse graphics free of charge. All other figures had to be replaced or removed prior to publication.
The global salinity gradient power (SGP) potential is between 1650 - 2000 TWH/a and can be converted by mixing two solutions with different salinities. The harnessing of SGP for conversion into power can be accomplished by means of pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED). PRO and RED are membrane-based technologies and have different working principles. PRO uses a semipermeable membrane to seperate a concentrated salt solution from a diluted solution. The diluted solution flows through the semipermeable membrane towards the concentrated solution, which increases the pressure within the concentrated solution chamber. The pressure is balanced by a turbine and electricity is generated. RED uses the transport of ions through cation and anion exchange membranes. The chambers between the membranes are alternately filled with a concentrated and diluted solution. The salinity gradient difference is the driving force in transporting ions that results in an electric potential, which is then converted to electricity. The comparison shows that there are two different fields of application for PRO and RED. PRO is especially suitable at extracting salinity energy from large concentration differences. In contrast, RED are not effect by increasing concentration differences. So PRO are supposed to focus on applications with brines or waste water and RED on applications with river water and seawater. Moreover, just a few measured values from processes under real conditions are available, which makes it difficult to compare PRO and RED.
The impact of hydro-power plants on the ecosystem was studied with focus on the fish mortality and types of damage for many years. The fish mortality have a wide range of causes. Types of damage can be different and are caused by different parts of the power plant. The most dangerous part of the system are the fast moving turbine blades. They can cause blade strike and barotrauma due to the high speeds. Different types of turbines were developed for a better survival rate. Five different types of different research groups and manufacturers are presented in this paper. By considering those newly developed turbine designs, a fish survival rate from 96 % to 100 % is achieved.
The first oscillating water column was invented in 1940. In the past decades the need of wave energy systems has significantly increased. This article quickly describes the Wells turbine and possibilities to enhance its performance and should answer the question: what are the design parameters that can be optimized?
Furthermore it gives a small outlook about the history of oscillating Water Columns.
There are many hydropower turbines for low heads or low flows on a small scale. Many technologies are unsuitable for developing countries because equipment or materials are limited, high-tech machines are to expensive or spare parts are not readily available. This review combines currently available technologies with the requirements of developing countries in small, micro and pico hydropower. In small hydropower a propeller turbine from Thailand has a high efficiency of 70 to 80 percent at calculated production costs of around $ 513 per kW. Pumps as turbines are suitable for developing countries in micro hydropower due to readily availability, low price and an large number of standard sizes. In pico-scale, a low-cost Turgo wheel can be made of spoons for $ 48 and yields acceptable values in comparison to a 3D printed Pelton wheel for $ 822. While the Turgo wheel is suitable for high heads, a homemade siphon turbine can be used for low heads. The siphon turbine generates up to 200 W, is made of materials that are available anywhere in the world, and costs less than $ 50.
Self-build small wind turbines are used for rural electrification in the developed and developing world as well as for educational purposes. To give an overview about self-build small wind turbines a systematic literature review was conducted. The identified literature deals with two different vertical and horizontal axis turbine designs. The vertical axis turbines are both prototypes while one of the horizontal axis designs, the design by Piggott is widely used in rural electrification projects. Different papers dealing with the optimization of the Piggott design exist. In retrospect the conduction of a holistic review was not possible due to limited resources and length of this review. Nevertheless it can give a quick overview and a starting point for further research.
Despite their important role in our energy system, common wind turbines have some disadvantages. Mainly, those disadvantages are connected to the intermediate conversion of wind energy in rotational energy. The resulting effects include maintenance costs and social acceptance problems. There are different technological approaches, that convert wind energy to electrical energy without its conversion to kinetic energy. As one of those technologies, the electrostatic wind energy conversion is to be discussed in this article. For this discussion, the historical development of this technology is presented. There are three important projects which will be presented to explain the technology and its different technological approaches. Those projects are the WPG, the EWICON and the SWET. Furthermore the results of those different experimental projects are collected and analyzed. On the basis of this analysis it is discussed, whether or not the electrostatic wind energy conversion could be of importance in a future energy system. Therefore the technology is set in relation to modern wind turbines. Also, important factors that influence the efficiency and energy output of those systems are outlined for further research. Due to different technological approaches a suggestion is made for the most promising system setting.
Because of the rapid expansion and widespread application of wind energy the overall environmental impacts of wind power plants have increased as well. For the further development of wind power, methods to lessen the adverse effects wind power has on avian populations have to be implemented. This review aims to find effective methods to reduce avian collision rates with wind turbines and that therefore can reduce bird fatality rates.
For the assessment the different mitigation methods, for which concrete data was found, are compared with each other regarding the hypothetical effort of implementation and effectiveness in reducing avian collision rates with wind turbines.
These methods are:
(a) Coloring of rotor blades
(b) Coloring of the tower base
(c) Ultraviolet/violet lightning
(d) Temporary shut-down of wind turbines
(e) Auditory warning signals
(f) Repowering
All of the mentioned methods report influence on reducing avian collision rates or at least the behavior of birds in flight.
This review found the following three methods to be most effective:
(a) Coloring of rotor blades
(b) Temporary shut-downs of wind turbines
(c) Repowering
The most effective method to reduce avian collision rates at horizontal axis wind turbines is to paint one of the rotor blades black and consequently increasing the visibility of the rotor blades. The presented study reports 71,9 percent reduction of found carcasses of birds at the treated turbines. For this method the effort of implementation is low while the effectiveness is high.
The effectiveness of the found mitigation methods has been proven and they are suited for application. The method of using lightning or sound fields require more testing to determine their effectiveness. Another topic for research could be how different mitigation methods interact with each other. Is there a significant advantage to be had if multiple mitigation methods are applied at the same wind power plant or turbine? Furthermore the environmental impacts of wind turbines are not limited to birds. Other animals like bats are affected too and might require different methods of mitigation.
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit Kostentrends in Zusammenhang mit technologischem Lernen von Windenergie an Land in den USA, in Deutschland und weltweit. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Lernkurve für Windenergie an Land zu bestimmen. Dafür wurden Daten zu Stromgestehungskosten (LCOE) und Kosten für die Installation (COP) von Windenergieanlagen (WEA) im Zeitraum von 1983 bis einschließlich 2020 gesammelt, grafisch dargestellt und weitergehend ausgewertet. Die grafische Darstellung der Datenlage verdeutlicht die zeitliche Entwicklung der Technologie. Zur Beschreibung dieser Lernkurven wurden die Progress Ratio (PR) und Learning Rate (LR) in fünf unterschiedlichen Modellen bestimmt. Anhand derer sich in Kombination mit der zukünftig installierten Leistung von WEA eine Prognose über zukünftige Kosten ableiten lässt. Die ermittelten LR bewegen sich zwischen 13 % und 28 %, woraus sich LCOE im Jahr 2030 zwischen 44,03 US$/MWh und 61 US$/MWh ergeben.
Wind energy has steadily gained importance in the generation of renewable energy over the last 25 years. A wind turbine has an average life expectancy of about 25 years. After that, thermoplastic composite materials from the rotors, among other things, accumulate and have to be recycled. Previous methods, such as landfilling, incineration and pyrolysis, have not yet proven to be effective in terms of the circular economy because the recycled material cannot be reused for equivalent products. The use of thermoplastic materials can be a sensible alternative, as thermoplastic resins can be recycled almost without loss of value due to their properties. Recycling of fibreglass is also possible with less loss of stiffness. In the future, it will be crucial to scale up thermoplastic rotor blades and create a market for the recycled material.
Wind energy conversion systems have attracted considerable attention as a renewable energy source due to depleting fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns as a direct consequence of using fossil fuel and nuclear energy sources. The increasing number of wind turbines increases the interest in efficient systems. The power output of a wind energy conversion system depends on the accuracy of the maximum power tracking system, as wind speed changes constantly throughout the day. Maximum power point tracking systems that do not require mechanical sensors to measure the wind speed offer several advantages over systems using mechanical sensors. In this paper four different approaches that do not use mechanical sensors to measure the wind speed will be presented; the assets and drawbacks of these systems are highlighted, and afterwards the examined algorithms will be compared based on different characteristics. Finally, based on the analysis, an evaluation is made as to which of the presented algorithms is the most promising.
Assessment of noise mitigation measures during pile driving of larger offshore wind foundations
(2021)
Wind energy is an important source of electricity generation, but the construction of offshore wind foundations causes high underwater sound pressure, harming marine life. In this context limiting values for underwater noise emissions were set to protect the marine flora and fauna. Therefore, noise mitigation measures during pile driving are mandatory to comply with these limits. Current development in the wind industry lead to increasing wind turbine sizes, requiring a larger pile diameter, which leads to higher underwater noise emissions. As a result, the state of the art noise mitigation systems might not be sufficient and a combination of different technologies is necessary. This article focuses on the issue of noise mitigation during pile driving with respect to large pile sizes. First, the most tested and proven noise mitigation techniques (big bubble curtain, hydro sound damper, and IHC-noise mitigation system) are described, following an analysis of noise reduction measurements in applications at different offshore wind farm projects. In the end the suitability of current noise mitigation systems for large monopiles is evaluated, regarding their effectiveness and practicability.
Floating offshore wind (FOW) holds the key to 80 % of the total offshore wind resources, located in waters of 60 m and deeper in European seas, where traditional bottom-fixed offshore wind (BFOW) is not economically attractive.
Many problems affecting floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) were quickly overcome based on previous experience with floating oil rigs and bottom-fixed offshore wind. However, this technology is still young and there are still many challenges to overcome.
This paper shows that electrical failures are amongst the most significant errors of FOWT. The most common cause was corrosion. It is also stated that the control system is most often affected, and that the Generator is frequently involved. Material corrosion is also the key factor when it comes to the most common overall reason for failures.
A particular attention must be paid to mooring line fracture. Mooring lines are especially vulnerable to extreme sea conditions and the resulting fatigue, corrosion, impact damage, and further risks.
It must be stated that the primary challenge is that of economics. Over time technological costs will decline making FOW more competitive and hence attractive for greater depth.
Originally this article was supposed to be a comparison between the technological differences of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines (BOWT) and floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT). However, several authors already contributed to this topic and came to the conclusion that the higher levelized costs of energy (LCOE) prevent FOWTs from successfully entering the energy market. Multiple sources seem to agree on this conclusion but often do not provide the reader with further information regarding the LCOE. This is the reason why this article understands itself as an in depth cost comparison between BOWTs and FOWTs. For this purpose, individual LCOE are calculated for the upcoming FOWT technologies such as spar-buoy (SPAR), tension-leg platform (TLP) and semi-submersible platform (semi-sub) as well as conventional BOWTs using the wind turbines hours of full utilization (HOFU). The resulting functions are visualized graphically in order to determine break-even points between BOWTs and FOWTs. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the influence of the weighted average costs of capital (WACC).
With floating offshore wind turbines, new sources of wind energy can be used, which cannot be tapped into by bottom-fixed wind turbine systems. However, due to their design, they experience additional motion caused by wind and wave loads. The motions that are induced into the system have an oscillating course. This affects the aerodynamic properties of the wind turbine and leads to changes in the thrust force and power output of floating wind turbines compared to bottom-fixed wind turbines. Furthermore, the motions lead to an earlier breakdown of the helical wake structure behind the wind turbine and moreover lead to a decreased reliability of the rotor blades. Differences in the effects of wind and wave loads on the aerodynamic performance of floating offshore wind turbines supported by different platform systems were found.
