Internship: Methods and Tools for Multi Energy System Simulation

IEK-10 focuses on the optimal design and operation of integrated, decentralized energy systems with a high share of renewable energy. Computer simulation and numerical optimization are our essential tools to arrive at efficient, reliable and cost-effective solutions. We contribute both to the development of mathematical models and to the development of improved simulation methods and optimization algorithms. Our methods and software-tools are validated against operating data of real systems. Furthermore, we conduct comprehensive case studies in order to test and further improve the scalability and the performance of our models and algorithms. Specially adapted methods and codes enable us to exploit the potential of high performance computing with the aim of solving particularly large and complex problems.

Scope of the Internship:
Due to the increase of renewable energy share in the electrical network, the decarbonization focus has also been extended to other energy sectors. Sector coupling refers to the concept of interconnecting different energy sectors with the power sector, which can offer flexibility to the power sector and contribute to the decarbonization progress in other sectors. Therefore, new and efficient simulation methods and tools are needed in order to illustrate interactions between different energy sectors. Your goal will be the development and combination of modeling and simulation methods.

Your Profile:

  • You are a student with very good background in Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a comparable subject
  • Interests in numerical methods and analysis, and energy system modeling and simulation
  • Basic understanding of energy system modeling and simulation is preferable
  • Good knowledge of and some experience in a programming language, preferably C++ or Python
  • Fluent in English (spoken and written)

Our Profile:

  • Highly motivated scientists of different subject areas working together
  • Interdisciplinary work combining physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering
  • Intensive supervision by one or more experienced and helpful colleague(s)
  • Friendly and welcoming work environment

There is a salary and, due to the SARS-CoV-2 regulations, work is done in the home office. All necessary equipment (computers etc.) is provided. We are committed to equality and diversity and welcome applications from everyone! If you are interested, please send us your complete application.
