The Institute

In April 2012, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences created a new research and teaching focus - the Institute of Sustainable Energy Technology and Mobility (INEM). Its task is to undertake high-quality work which makes its contribution to the key technological fields of energy management and transport in projects which are manifold and pioneering. INEM at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences sees itself as a unit which encompasses all campuses and all faculties, and welcomes any and all members of the university who are interested in collaborating with it.

The Institute in brief:

The faculties which make up the INEM are based in Esslingen and Göppingen:

Natural Sciences
Management
Automotive Engineering
Building Services, Energy and Environmental Engineering
Graduate School
Basic Sciences
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics and Electronics
Engineering Management.

Their competencies are organised and concentrated in clusters.

Testing station for fuel cell stacks (< 3 kW)
Fuel cell hybrid system
Testing station for heat extraction
Measurement of zeolite storage systems
Automated polymer membrane coating/MEA production
Testing station for cooling circuits of electrical drives (6 kW)
Battery test rig with impedance spectroscopy and thermal conditioning
Battery test rig with climatic chamber
Control of hybrid energy storage units (dSPACE).

Göppingen:

Testing station for electric drive units
Test rig for electric vehicle drive systems
Testing station for latent heat storage systems
Test rig for renewable energy (photovoltaics).

Planned testing stations and test arrays:

Climatic testing station for electrical energy storage systems
Testing station for electrolysers (< 3 kW)
Diagnosis, disassembly of electric drives (incl. battery)
Testing station for cooling circuits of electric drives (< 100 kW)
Electric drive testing station (< 300 kW)
Battery module and cell test rig
Fuel cell and system test stand.

INEM is involved in teaching and research projects relating to energy management and mobility all over Germany and Europe. The research topics and the opportunities which INEM offers are equally wide ranging and future oriented.

We can offer:

Internships, final theses and doctorates
The possibility of combining work and study (part-time/ full-time/graduate assistant)
Esslingen University of Applied Sciences is striving to increase the proportion of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore expressly encourages women to apply.
Applicants with a disability who have suitable qualifications will receive preferential consideration.
