Electric Charging Station

In the course of the electrification of road traffic, new demands are being placed on the refuelling and rest stops on the European motorway network. In cooperation with the motorway service station company Autobahn Tank & Rast, basic knowledge of both the spatial programme of a filling station with service station and the requirements for an electrical infrastructure for charging operation as well as for the generation of regenerative energy above the paved traffic areas will be jointly developed in a seminar phase preceding the design, which will then be incorporated into individual designs. In doing so, the editors are free to select an existing filling station with service station, which will then be revised in their own design to meet the requirements of future CO2-neutral motorway traffic, or to develop an exemplary new electric filling station.

The design is supervised weekly and can be worked on in groups of two. Cooperation in teams with students from Faculty 2 (Civil and Environmental Engineering) is expressly desired.

About the online teaching:

For the analogous supervision of the students, a schedule was developed. This also applies to the digital form of the course. Video conferences are organized via Web-Ex on the indicated supervision dates to discuss questions. You will receive professional support on the topics "quick charging station" and "hydrogen filling station" from Dr. Schier from the DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts. Dr. Schier will join in a video conference for his presentation. Mr. Töpler, a civil engineer from KE, will be available to answer questions about the structure on the tour and test dates and will join the video conference on the tour dates mentioned in the schedule.

It is advisable to download the app from this link beforehand, but participation via internet browser only is also possible with a few small restrictions. The future requirements and the site plan for the Kassel-Ost service station will be provided by Tank & Rast from Bonn. Technical information and the allocation of the presentation topics will be uploaded on the platform Ilias. Thus all students receive the same accompanying subject information and data for the processing of the draft.
