Networked cloud cameras forecast light and shadow

October 8, 2019
Variations in the intensity of the sunlight over solar power plants is having an increasing impact on the energy supply system. In the future, grid operators will have to react quickly to the passage of individual cloud formations, because the shadows they cast immediately affect the energy yield of the solar panels across entire regions.
Digital simulation of a real power plant

September 25, 2019
Energy flows have to be considered across multiple sectors if the energy transition is to be implemented successfully. This increases the flexibility of the overall system to efficiently balance out energy supply fluctuations between the power grid, the mobility sector and district heating demand, while at the same time ensuring the stability of the power grid. Against this background, the Institute of Networked Energy Systems at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is currently developing a digital simulation of a real hybrid regulating power plant as part of the HyReK 2.0 (Hybridregelkraftwerk) research project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The power plant provides frequency containment reserve in the Hastedt district of Bremen and makes efficient use of an interface between the power grid and a district heating system.
DLR researchers want to stabilise power grids with publicly accessible cameras

August 3, 2018
Dealing with fluctuations in solar energy is one of the biggest challenges on the way to a sustainable energy supply. Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) are working on a technology that will hopefully make it possible to operate energy networks with a high proportion of solar energy in a more stable and efficient manner.
Wind power – innovative vibration tests on rotor blades

May 24, 2018
An electrodynamic vibration exciter pulls and pushes at the 20-metre SmartBlades DemoBlade with a force of 100 kilograms. The rotor blade oscillates with a deflection of 50 centimetres at the tip. Researchers from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) are conducting precise analyses of these movements and the material stresses on the rotor blade.
First ignition for Europe's most powerful rocket engine, the Vulcain 2.1

January 23, 2018
The new Vulcain 2.1 engine, which is set to carry the new European launcher Ariane 6 into space in 2020, is intended to achieve greater efficiency at lower costs. However, before such a launch can be successfully carried out, the development engines must prove that they can cope with the enormous 130-ton thrust, temperatures of approximately 3000 degrees Celsius in the combustion chamber, the high rotational speeds of the turbo pumps and the pressure in the propellant lines.
DLR and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy present their new strategy

July 24, 2017
On 24 July 2017, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) presented the new DLR strategy at the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
German Federal Government Budget Committee approves funding for additional DLR institutes

November 11, 2016
The Budget Committee of the German Federal Government has approved 42 million euro in funding to establish six new institutes within the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR).
DLRmagazine 150 – Eyes in the sky see the world changing

May 24, 2016
The world is changing in ways that our human eyes are not able to completely observe. Satellites see it all and reveal what cannot be hidden: damage caused by natural forces or the impact of human violence on the World Heritage Site of Palmyra, for instance.
