Research- and Transfernetwork on sustainable public procurement in NRW

NRW has an enormous market power with an annual procurement volume of approx. 50 billion euros. Increasing demands on the sustainability of these products demanded by the public sector have already shown positive effects. At the same time there is still potential for improvement in the consideration of ecological and social aspects in public tendering procedures. Our research and transfer network on sustainable public procurement in NRW is dedicated to the identification of relevant barriers and drivers, value chains as well as potential solution options.

ELaBoR - Infrastructure for car charging stations

The goal of this project was to develop a strategy in order to extend the infrastructure of car charging stations in Bonn and the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis.  Based on goals set by the government and information about the distribution of the car density in the area of interest, scenarios for the extension between 2016 and 2020 have been identified. In order to achieve these goals, the number of charging stations has to be raised successively from 256 (in 2016) to a number of 935 in 2020. Therefore, a grid map for the distribution of charging stations for electronic cars and bicycles had to be created. Also so called "points of interest" (POIs) (tourist attractions, leisure time facilities, etc.) as well as park-and-ride stations have been taken into account. All those options have been ranked according to their priority and their individual traffic data. The current distribution of charging stations has been investigated beforehand. With the help of an algorithm, the best positions and distributions for charging stations have been determined. Though, further analysis is necessary in order to bring these proposals into practise. Therefore, a guildeline has been developed and tested in a workshop for the locations "Königswinter" and "Bonn City Centre".

One Health - A holistic approach to metropolitan regions Part 1

The research consortium "One Health and Urban Transformation - Recognizing Risks and Developing Sustainable Solutions" is a graduate school funded by North Rhine-Westphalia’s Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research NRW. It is coordinated by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) in cooperation with institutes of the University of Bonn, the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and the United Nations University (Institute for Environment and Human Security).

MobilCharta5

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative, sustainable, land-saving, climate-protecting and environmentally friendly mobility system (continuous, barrier-free and safe means of transport). The project area extends in a tangential brace starting from Hennef (area DB station with connection: Cologne, Bonn: mobility hub A) via the towns of Neunkirchen (portal mobility station) and Seelscheid (portal mobility station) to Overath (area DB station with connection Cologne, Gummersbach: mobility hub B).

AR/VR.nrw - Augmented und Virtual Reality in university education

AR/VR.nrw aims to integrate the key technologies augmented and virtual reality more strongly into teaching and research at universities and to improve collaboration in this area. Software is being developed for this purpose. In addition, exemplary learning scenarios will be developed and services for universities will be established to support teachers in the use and development of their own AR/VR teaching and learning content.

OMI

The OMI (Open Mobility Infrastructure) project creates a digital infrastructure consisting of three human-technology interfaces and a middleware. Local players can provide shared mobility services themselves via a self-service portal, and users receive an app in the form of the mobility assistant, which offers seamless access to the region's entire mobility services and turns the smartphone into a digital vehicle key.

Wine in Virtual Reality (Witality)

"Witality - Wine in Virtual Reality" represents a joint project of science and practice. The institutions involved in the project, Geisenheim University of Applied Sciences, Institute for Oenology (HGU), Bonn-Rhein Sieg University of Applied Sciences, Institute for Visual Computing (H-BRS), Pieroth Wein AG (PR) and DLG TestService GmbH (DLG), enable a close exchange between science and practice on the use of virtual reality (VR) for the sensory analysis of wine.

HyLeiT

In the HyLeiT joint project, research is being conducted into a new generation of electrolysis converters and electrical system technology for the energy supply of hydrogen electrolysis. The aim is to halve the system costs of electrical engineering from the grid connection point to the DC connection at the electrolyzer, taking into account associated operating costs and effects on H2 generation costs.

GaN-Highpower

The field of photovoltaics has been subject to enormous price pressure for many years, as falling feed-in tariffs worldwide make low component prices necessary to be able to manufacture and operate a PV system economically. At the same time, the demands on the functional diversity of the devices continue to increase (e.g. universal use in PV and battery applications, grid feeding, self-consumption and island operation, provision of grid services).
