DTU sharpens its electrotechnology profile The new department structure took effect from the turn of the year, and a news article on the changes was published on the DTU and DTU Elektro websites and was sent out to several industry media that shared the news.
DTU strengthens its position within digital energy An EUDP, Green Labs DK, grant enables DTU to establish a unique Digital Energy Lab supporting the ambitions defined
In the article Kristian Stubkjær stated: “The change makes

comprise three different - but closely related - elements: handling of energy data in real time, simulation of energy
Peder R. Pedersen, CEO of Weibel Scientific and member of our Advisory Board, agreed with this assessment, saying: “Denmark needs engineers with strong electrotechnical expertise. I expect that the new strengthened profile for DTU Electrical Engineering will secure that. In addition, I look forward to continue witnessing DTU’s world-class research. The researchers at DTU are amazingly talented and have always been at the forefront of the global development in their field,”
intelligence. “The new laboratory will complement the world-class facilities already established at DTU and enable us to accelerate our existing activities within the development of digital and data-driven solutions for the energy sector. The solutions will contribute to consolidating Denmark’s position in this field and pave the way for new major business opportunities,” says Frida Frost, head of PowerLabDK.

The match has been made – EVs are ready to support the electricity grid In January the end of the Danish EUDP-supported demonstration project, Parker, was marked by a major conference at DTU in Risø. The project showed that electric vehicles (EVs) can support the electricity grid already when parked. Furthermore, the project was the first to demonstrate that EVs can deliver vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services across car brands and on commercial terms, and the results thus pave the way for the roll-out of even more EVs that can actively support the Danish electricity grid.

Rechargeable hearing aids becoming ever smaller Dennis Øland Larsen, a young researcher from our Electronics group has discovered a solution for using rechargeable batteries in hearing aids without increasing their size or creating unwanted noise.

to take over the services that are currently provided by conventional plants,“ says Seyedmostafa Hashemi Toghroljerdi from our CEE group. He is the project manager of the new project called BOSS (BOrnholm Smartgrid Secured – by grid connected battery systems), which the Danish Energy Agency (EUDP) has just granted 19 million DKK. The total budget is 30 million DKK. Over the next four years, the BOSS project will develop and demonstrate an advanced battery energy storage system with a total capacity of 1MWh/1MW. This will be the largest grid connected battery installed in Denmark to date. Read more here: http://kortlink.dk/dtu/xbmc
This presents challenges to hearing aid manufacturers, and the problem is exacerbated when the battery is replaced with a rechargeable Li-ion battery, which is not as simple as it sounds. However, Dennis succeeded in finding a solution. The project was a collaboration between GN Hearing and our department which led to a three-year Industrial PhD position, which was filled by Dennis. Over the three years, he has developed solutions for several of the challenges GN Hearing was facing. Read full article: http://kortlink.dk/dtu/xbmd

TEACHING AND EDUCATION Faculty Meeting At the end of January our department faculty staff gathered at Comwell Holte. The purpose of the bi-annual faculty meetings is to exchange ideas on how we operate on a daily basis and also to discuss strategies and ideas for the long run. The programme of the day included: Intro to the meeting, Kristian Stubkjær DTU Learn at DTU Elektro, Jesper Engbo Larnæs, LearningLab DTU Status for the departments activities seen in the perspective of our Board of Studies, Jens Christian Andersen Inspirational talk by Dimitrios Papageorgiou, recipient of DTU Elektro “Best Teacher of the Semester” award 2018 Open discussion
Information Day: Tour of the sound labs In connection with DTU’s Information Day concerning the University’s MSc Eng programmes in February, our Acoustic Technology group opened its doors to 55 BSc students. The aim of the visit was to introduce the students to the Danish sound industry, the MSc programme in Engineering Acoustics and to the wider professional options within the sector. The afternoon was spent touring the labs in small guided groups. Each group visited a series of demonstrations which had been set up in the large anechoic chamber, the Audio-Visual Immersion lab, the Electrophysiology lab, the Structural Vibration labs, the Reverberation Chambers and the Virtual Reality Station. The demos each illustrated topics like audio, hearing, vibration and architectural acoustics. After the event Efren F. Grande --head of study, MSc Engineering Acoustics-- stated: “It is very gratifying to let these students experience the acoustic and hearing laboratories and to explain to them what we do, and to make them aware of the leading role Denmark plays in sound related science and technology. It is also valuable to raise awareness of the importance of acoustics and hearing

as a crucial element in the well-being of society, and explain how acoustic engineers make a difference in the world.”
A new video on the BSc Eng programme in Design of Sustainable Energy Systems was produced by DTU in the autumn 2018 at Lyngby and Risø Campuses. It has been launched by the end of January 2019. Two students from the programme Ida Marie Palm (22 years) and Emil Howaldt (21 years) participate in the video giving their views on the importance of the new bachelor programme.

Open House 2019 On 7 March the annual Open House event took place at DTU’s Sports Hall in building 101. Each year the event gives high school students and other potential students a chance to learn more about all of DTU’s undergraduate programmes. This year the time of the event was moved to 12 noon to 8 p.m. due to the fact that the Ministry of Education rehearsed a new exam system on the same day. Many of the country’s high schools therefore used the opportunity to hold semester tests (delaying potential visits to DTU). Around 2,700 potential students from all over Denmark visited Open House (last year: 2,300). Around 600 DTU students and staff welcomed the guests at the event. This time our department was represented by the two BSc Eng programmes: Electrical Engineering, and Design of Sustainable Energy Systems (Bæredygtigt Energidesign) – and indirectly by the BEng programmes in Electrical Engineering and Electrical Energy Technology. The robot booth operated by our staff from our Automation and Control group participated as well. Next time DTU ‘opens’ its house will be in February or March 2020.

Distinguished lecturers from the US and Europe, excelling both in research and teaching, are invited to give 4-hour lectures both providing the fundamentals and introducing advanced topics in their field. Every lecture will be followed by a 2-hour hands-on exercise session. Read more here: http://kortlink.dk/dtu/xc3p
Visit to KAIST In February members of our Acoustic Technology group visited the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea to kick off the signature project ‘Acoustic Metamaterials as Engineering Components’. The signature project is a collaboration between DTU and KAIST with 2 PhD students and 2 Postdocs involved from DTU Elektro. The collaboration between the group at our department and KAIST Mechanical Engineering has grown steadily since the dual degree programme in Engineering Acoustics was established in 2012. The two research groups have identified a large potential for using the idea of metamaterials in engineering applications. The purpose of the visit was also to lead the way for the DTU students who will visit KAIST on their future individual, external stays.

Sustainability at DTU DTU wishes to use the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a platform for its activities. DTU’s mission is to develop and create value using the natural sciences and the technical sciences to benefit society. The three overall dimensions of sustainability, as expressed in the goals, constitute an important framing of what benefit for society really means: to create a better life for human beings, to contribute to value creation, and to support sustainable use of natural resources.
