This week, the 15th Aachen Acoustics Colloquium, organized by FEV, HEAD acoustics GmbH, Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics (IHTA), RWTH Aachen University and fka GmbH took place at the Parkhotel Quellenhof Aachen. Around 190 participants used the opportunity to learn more about the latest developments in the field of vehicle acoustics in 20 presentations. This year's focus was on vibroacoustic phenomena in the various vehicle components and on digital technology in the vibroacoustic development process.   Our colleague Michael Häußler presented the latest findings for low-noise charging in the mega-watt range for electric trucks. This is required in order to make the best possible use of the drivers' rest periods to top up the energy stores. Reducing the resulting noise was identified as an important factor in increasing acceptance among both users and the general public. As part of its study, the FEV team of experts identified the most significant sources of noise during the charging process and developed targeted measures for cooling systems. #feelevolution and visit www.fev.com for further information!

🌞 𝗙𝗘𝗩 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 🌞 Worldwide, more than one terawatt of #photovoltaic plants has been installed. As the electricity cannot always be consumed directly, intermediate storage solutions are required. The modular storage solution HVS 5.1 from BYD offers a capacity of nearly 40 kWh. With one full charge, you can for example, drive your ⚡ 🚗 electric car for almost 200 km, 🏠 vacuum for 40 hours, or run the ❄️ fridge for more than a month.    In today´s Tech Nugget, discover the expertise of our #Benchmarking team in stationary storage solutions.  Are you looking for independent studies on current electric vehicles or more sustainable technology? #FeelEVolution and discover further exciting results from our experts in our #carat database!   #benchmarking #photovoltaic #stationary #energystorage #batteries #sustainability 

🚗 🔋 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄! 🔋 🚗 FEV is developing and validating new algorithms that will allow precise predictions about the state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH) during ongoing vehicle operation. With the aid of #artificialintelligence, users of #electricvehicles will be able to predict in real time how the performance and service life of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and solid-state batteries (SSB) will develop.   The project is currently analyzing battery cell and battery pack data from numerous electrochemical tests on the various battery designs. In the next step, this data will be supplied to an AI model as training material. From this measurement data, the AI is used to describe the SoC and SoH of LFP and SSB. The parameters and algorithms are then used for extensive simulations and developed to a quality level that allows them to be used later in series production. For this purpose, extensive tests are carried out starting from a model-in-the-loop (MiL) up to hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) environment.   By the end of the project, the neural network will be fully integrated into the Battery Management System (BMS) software.   You want to be updated about the latest results of the project? Stay tuned! We will provide you with the latest information here on a regular basis! The project is funded by the 🇪🇸 Spanish PERTE (Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation) program and will run until 2026.

🏆🏆🏆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🏆🏆🏆 The DeCarTrans project coordinated by FEV has won the Innovator des Jahres public award! Last Friday, the consortium of FEV, CAC ENGINEERING GMBH CORYTON, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Lother GmbH and TU Bergakademie Freiberg was delighted to be announced as the overall winner of the biggest public award in the German industry. With the "Innovator of the Year" award, the jury and the public underline the importance of sustainable fuels for the mobility of the future, but also for Germany as a business location.   In the DeCarTrans project, the consortium partners are developing a process for the production of synthetic fuel 🧪 based on methanol from renewable sources. Improved catalysts and reactor technologies will increase efficiency and production capacity. By the end of the project, up to 300,000 liters will be produced and distributed to various research and commercial partners.   FEV is proud to be part of this strong consortium and congratulates the entire project team on the double award!

🇪🇺 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 🇪🇺 Recently, our business development team had the pleasure of joining the Sustainable Energy Cooperation in the hydrogen industry in 🇧🇪 Flanders as part of the NRW.Global Business delegation. One of the goals of this trip was to support the German-Belgian dialogue within the energy sector.   Our colleagues explored successful hydrogen projects at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges International, a key player in the import, local production, processing and transport of green #hydrogen and hydrogen carriers such as ammonia and methanol. The port also hosts the NextGen District industrial zone, an #innovation platform for companies that develop and test ideas for the circular economy, including the production of green hydrogen.   The team also had the opportunity to attend the Belgian Hydrogen Congress in Brussels, highlighting FEV´s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and exploring innovative partnerships in the hydrogen sector. Together, we are paving the way for a cleaner and greener future. Looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead!
