    Optimized utilization of decentral flexibility for the operational management of cellular multi-modal distribution grids
    Future energy systems rely mostly on supplydependent resources like wind and solar energy. Since most of the produced energy from distributed renewable sources arises as electricity, electrification of energy consumers and producers, called prosumers, expands. In this context, multimodal distribution grids make use of the storage capabilities of other energy sectors like heat, and abolish the supply-dependency and uncertainty of the feed-in of decentralized generators. This provides flexibility in the energy system, which increases security of supply and at the same time ensures economical energy provision. The subject of this paper is to exploit the flexibility of such a multi-modal energy system for operation in an optimal way. The cellular approach serves here as the energy system architecture. Aim is to provide flexibility with a cell by optimally distributing a flexibility request to subordinate prosumers changing their active and reactive power. The load change is hereby to be optimally dispatched to the different components of the prosumers under consideration of technical restrictions and dynamic behavior of components, the grids and economical aspects. For dynamic modelling and simulation the open-source modelling language Modelica is used. Using a lowvoltage benchmark model expanded by multi-modal technologies, the proposed methodology shows that the cells are capable of providing flexibility to the overlying grid with high accuracy at low costs.

    Large-Scale Experiments on the Formation of Surface Vortices with and without Vortex Suppression
    Experiments were carried out in a 50-m3 cylindrical tank to determine the influence of strong momentum on the formation of large-scale gas-core vortices. Gas-core lengths were measured for varying volume flow rates and submergence depths. The critical Froude numbers were also determined and the efficiency of different vortex suppressors on the gas-core formation was investigated. The horizontal velocity field inside the vortex core region was additionally recorded using particle image velocimetry. The experimental results were used to verify numerical simulations and compared to vortex models and correlations from literature.
