Lab: Web Application for the Simulation of Solar Thermal Power Plants

Problem

This course is about implementing a web application for the management and optimization of Offshore Wind Farms and Solar Tower Power Plants. Renewable energy is estimated to account for around 35% of our energy production in Germany. Among other renewable energy sources like solar- or hydro power, wind power has proven to be an effective and reliable way to produce energy in Germany.

Preliminary work

The i2 chair has implemented algorithms that can measure the efficiency of a wind farm and of a solar tower power plant. Within this laboratory we are going to make these algorithms publicly usable by incorporating them into a well designed web application.

Requirements

Knowledge in web programming (AngularJS, Nx, Docker, Three.js, Leaflet) or web design is needed, since you will be working on an existing platform from a previous group and extend it with new functionality. Furthermore, experience in App development for Android and iOS (Flutter) would be helpful.

We will have weekly online meetings where we discuss the work done in the week and plan ahead for the next week. We are looking for people that like to work in a team, but are capable to solve problems on their own if necessary. If you are interested, please state your experience for the above technologies.
