Thu, October 10, 2013 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM CHEMICAL & BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING. FREE. Location: CHBE 202 (2360 East Mall)
Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Christian Doetsch
Dr. Doetsch is the director of the energy division at Fraunhofer UMSICHT in Oberhausen. He is responsible for the fields of electric and thermal energy storage, chemical storage and catalytic processes, polygeneration, and energy system optimization. The focal points of his work include the integration of renewable energies into the energy system by storing or converting energy (e.g. Redox flow, lithium batteries and CAES, heat/cold storage, and electricity conversion to products).
Christian Doetsch is the coordinator of the Fraunhofer network “energy storage systems and grids” and he is the operating agent at the IEA for “Future electric energy storage demand” (task ECES 26). Christian Doetsch studied chemical engineering at the technical university of Dortmund (1995) and wrote his PhD thesis in 2001. Since 2005 / 2002, he is a lecturer at the University of Bochum and Hagen.
*The MELENA model: spatial energy demand and energy production (renewables and fossil fuels) in Germany. Hourly resolution, approx.. 7000 “cells”, forecast, results, recommendations. Activities at the International Energy Agency (IEA.)
*The GOMES model: Modeling of single, large storage devices, modeling German energy market, different applications (T&D deferral, electric stock exchange, grid balancing etc.), results, recommendations
