In this paper we present an overview of the mining track in the Social Book Search (SBS) lab 2016. The mining track addressed two tasks: (1) classifying forum posts as book search requests, and (2) linking book title mentions in forum posts to unique book IDs in a database. Both tasks are important steps in the process of solving complex search tasks within online reader communities. We prepare...

Multifunctional battery storage system. In the national research project " Multifunctional Battery Storage System (MBS) " open questions were answered concerning the technical feasibility and profitability of a grid-connected battery storage system using a vanadium-redox-flow battery in combination with the renewable power generation plants PV and small wind power (Sterrer et al., Multifunktion...

This paper analyzes and simulates the Li-ion battery charging process for a solar powered battery management system. The battery is charged using a non-inverting synchronous buck-boost DC/DC power converter. The system operates in buck, buck-boost, or boost mode, according to the supply voltage conditions from the solar panels. Rapid changes in atmospheric conditions or sunlight incident angle ...
