The DLR institute of Maritime Energy Systems researches and develops innovative solutions for defossilization as well as emission reduction in shipping and transfers them into practice by cooperation with industry. To support this, the department of Virtual Ship researches and develops methods and technologies for the virtual representation and evaluation of maritime energy and converter systems, as well as of related infrastructure.
To establish a first platform for experimentation and demonstration of maritime energy system research, the department of Virtual Ship currently develops a scaled down remote controllable ship model for easily implementation, adaption and validation of Digital Twin applications. As part of this research, a first concept has been developed through a previous bachelor's thesis. This concept now first needs to be reflected with respect to ongoing research activities within the institute and then to be further detailed until construction & testing within the scope of a follow-up master's thesis.
