Das Fachgebiet gratuliert Frau Sabrina Deck herzlich für die Auszeichnung mit dem Dr. Karl-Heinz Weck-Preis der FGH e.V. Sie wurde für ihre Bachelorarbeit mit dem Titel „Untersuchung der nichtlinearen refraktiven Feldsteuerung von Isolierstoffproben mit antiferroelektrischen Füllstoffen mittels COMSOL Multiphysics“ geehrt.

In December 05, 2024, Eleonoren School visited the high voltage laboratory in Griesheim for an experimental lecture. Various fun experiments from the fields of high voltage and high current technology were demonstrated to the students. Through these experiments, the students were given small insights into important physical relationships between current, voltage, electric and magnetic fields. Among other things, the following topics were covered: – The principle of Faraday's cage – The force between two repelling magnetic fields – The relationship between alternating currents and magnetic fields – The effects of high electric fields and field strengths

From November 11, 2024, to November 13, 2024, the Department of High -Voltage Technical Equipment attended the VDE Conference on High Voltage Technology 2024 in Berlin.

From September 9, 2024, to September 10, 2024, the HBA department visited TU Braunschweig (ELENIA). The focus of the meeting was on scientific exchange regarding the respective research topics of the departments, as well as the identification of common research interests.

Meeting of the global energy industry

The CIGRE Paris Session 2024, which took place from August 25 to 30, 2024 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, is one of the world's most important events in the energy sector. The conference brings together leading experts, engineers and decision-makers to discuss current topics and innovations in power supply and energy technology. Participants can look forward to exciting technical presentations, interactive discussions and a comprehensive exhibition on the latest technologies. The conference offers a unique opportunity to analyze global trends and develop sustainable solutions for the challenges of the energy transition. All this in a professional exchange with numerous international experts from all over the world! Tobias Müller has worked on a paper together with HAEFELY AG, one of the world's leading suppliers of high-voltage testing and measurement technology. The paper “Requirements for onsite test systems for the after-installation test of HVDC cable systems” was presented as part of the poster session at the CIGRE Paris Session 2024.

From August 18, 2024, to August 24, 2024, the Department of High-Voltage Technical Equipment attended the International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application (ICHVE) in Berlin.

From June 17 to June 19, 2024, the annual High-Voltage (HuA) Colloquium took place. The colloquium primarily serves as a platform for exchange between various universities from the German-speaking region. This year, the colloquium was organized by the Technical University of Munich (Chair of High-Voltage Engineering). Departments from the following universities participated: – TU Darmstadt – TU Munich – TU Dresden – TU Ilmenau – Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences

The annual NET² colloquium took place from April 8 to April 10, 2024. The colloquium primarily serves as a platform for exchange between various universities in the region. This year, the event was organized by the TU Darmstadt (Department of HBA). Departments from the following universities participated: – TU Darmstadt – ETH Zurich – TU Graz – NTNU Trondheim
