Meet Technische Universität Berlin

Driving Research in NEVERFLAT

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietmar Göhlich

Head of the Chair MPM at TU Berlin

“Building on our Mobility2Grid collaboration and expertise in electric mobility and V2G simulation modelling, we aim to develop integration and testing solutions for an innovative low-power, low-cost bi-directional DC V2G charger across four test sites. With a deep technical understanding of the overall system and its sub-systems, our goal is to provide accurate testing and data analysis models that enhance system integration insights from both developer and end-user perspectives. This will support the development, testing, and future commercialisation of next-generation charging infrastructure within the NEVERFLAT project and beyond.”

Meet the Partner: Technische Universität Berlin

The Chair of Methods for Product Development and Mechatronics (MPM) at Technische Universität Berlin, led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietmar Göhlich, advances ways to improve product development and transform mobility systems. Their work focuses on systems engineering, design methods, and combining mechanical and electronic components.

As a key partner in the Mobility2Grid research campus, the chair contributes to vehicle-to-grid integration, automated driving, and fleet electrification-supporting climate-neutral urban transport.

Funded by top German and European organisations, the chair collaborates with companies like Siemens, ABB, Daimler Truck, MAN, Fraunhofer, SCANIA, and Hubject. They also offer courses combining theory and practice in product development, sustainability in design, and mechatronic system design.

Role in the NEVRFLAT project

TU Berlin’s role is closely linked to Mobility2Grid. They focus on grid integration and developing new electric mobility solutions. Their expertise is vital for designing and testing smart EV charging systems.

As TU Berlin explains:

TU Berlin mainly contributes to Work Package 3 (Smart Grid Integration and Digital Infrastructure) and Work Package 4 (System Prototyping and Lab Testing). Their work ensures the system performs well and meets both technical and user needs.
By combining research excellence and practical know-how, TU Berlin helps NEVERFLAT create EV charging solutions that are affordable, reliable, and ready for the future of clean urban transport.
