Innovative and Sustainable Product and Process Development
Innovative and Sustainable Product and Process Development
For developing innovative and sustainable products and processes in industry, new advanced theoretical, numerical and experimental methods and strategies are being researched at Hochschule Offenburg, with a focus on additive manufacturing (3D printing), the development of functionalized components, the development and testing of new materials and substances, and the process of innovation management.
| Title | EU Hercules 2 |
| Short Name | HERCULES |
| Short Description | The project HERCULES-2 is targeting at a fuel-flexible large marine engine, optimally adaptive to its operating environment. The objectives of the HERCULES-2 project are associated to 4 areas of engine integrated R&D: 1) Improving fuel flexibility for seamless switching between different fuel types, including non-conventional fuels. 2) Formulating new materials to support high temperature component applications. 3) Developing adaptive control methodologies to retain performance over the powerplant lifetime. 4) Achieving near-zero emissions, via combined integrated after treatment of exhaust gases. |
