Description

I joined TUMCREATE in January 2013, almost two years into the programme.
In the first five-year programme at TUMCREATE which spanned topics from “the molecule to the megacity”, my group first worked on charging strategies for electric vehicles considering battery ageing. The battery ageing model was based on in-house experiments with battery cells.
We managed to get a Singapore taxi operator on board whom we provided with a recommendations for a charging infrastructure and charging strategies for a fully electric taxi fleet.
We also looked into Singapore's energy demand – particularly of buildings – and analysed the contribution of buildings to the urban heat island effect.
Moreover, I initiated research on the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) power system and renewable potentials in the region. Today, almost ten years on, “regional power grids” are considered one of the four switches proposed by the Energy Market Authority for Singapore's future energy supply.
At the end of the programme, we started working on distribution grids and load flexibility. This would play a bigger role in TUMCREATE Phase II.
