Large data volumes arise when testing highly automated vehicles. The new KIsSME project is aimed at reducing these data volumes to save storage capacity, power, and evaluation expenditure and, at the same time, at compressing data to enhance vehicle safety. Algorithms based on artificial intelligence (AI) select the data in the driving mode and sort them into scenario catalogs. Within the collaboration project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) supplies data from test drives and simulations.

The year 2020 was marked by the corona pandemic. The energy industry was also badly affected by the effects of the pandemic and the various lockdowns. As things stand, the winners are renewables, especially in the PPA area, but also hydrogen as the industry’s new favorite topic.
The Covid 19 pandemic has had a major impact on the course of the energy industry in 2020. Due to social and economic restrictions, the demand for electricity has fallen by 3.6 percent compared to the previous year (source: Agora Energiewende ). This led to different effects on the futures markets.
The effects of the pandemic
What s True
It is true that colder temperatures can hamper the ability of wind turbines and solar panels to produce energy. What s False
Snopes did not find evidence that Germany was experiencing a “total collapse” in wind and solar energy. Furthermore, both solar panels and wind turbines are capable of functioning under cold and snowy conditions.
Origin
As Texas struggled with statewide rolling blackouts and much of the United States experienced a potent arctic storm with frigid temperatures and unprecedented ice and snow in February 2021, social media users speculated that frozen wind turbines in Texas played a major role in power outages there (false). And across the world, others argued that Germany’s renewable energy sources, wind and solar, failed that country, requiring greater output from nuclear and coal production to make up the difference.
