nir-vana innovation network

The use of energy is highly related to two factors: the environment and human comfort. By addressing both aspects, the SME from northern Germany seeks to support industry and research in improving energy technologies. The German SME contributes to that by performing complex computational simulations with state-of-the-art software for buildings, plants, engine and vehicles. Especially in the field of thermal energy systems, ventilation or a combination of several elements. The overall goal is general product improvement, increasing economic efficiency or research- and development. Highly qualified teams of engineers, mathematicians and physicists perform complex system simulations using numerical methods in order to solve technical energy problems. Beyond that, the client regular takes part in joint research projects with universities and institutions. With this scientific foundation knowledge transfer from theory into practical application significant experience linked and offered to their customers. With its long-term experience the SME offers modelling and simulation for thermo-hydraulic systems, computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) simulation, (sector coupled) energy supply systems, heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems, power plant processes, multi-domain systems (i.e. electrical, thermodynamic and mechanical systems and their control) and building simulation (see detailed list below). Among its customers are many major companies from the automotive sector. The SME is now seeking customers active especially in the field of renewable energies. Simulation calculations in: - Buildings - power plants - aviation - the shipping industry - process and plant engineering - the automotive sector Modeling and simulation areas: - thermohydraulic systems - coupled energy plants - Heat and cold generation in buildings and in mobile applications, compressed air generation and supply - Power plant processes - multi-domain systems (linking of electrical, thermodynamic and mechanical systems and their control) - Building and ventilation systems
