Student Employee (m/f/d)
The Chair of Thermal Energy Technology offers a position as part of a research project in direct connection with the Hydrogen Research Center at BTU as student employee (m/f/d). The topic is:
»Modeling and simulation of an alkaline electrolysis plant«
Outline: Within the framework of the Hydrogen Research Center at BTU we deal with fundamental studies of the alkaline water electrolysis process. In this context, the modeling and simulation of a semi-industrial alkaline pressure electrolyser plant is to be performed.
Tasks:
- Research, summary and evaluation of specialist reports / scientific articles on relevant issues
- Evaluation of experiments, preparation of measured values and evaluation of the measured data using suitable software tools (Excel, Matlab, ...)
- Creation of a simulation model in the software Ebsilon Professional on the basis of existing technical documentation including parameterization and testing of the operability
- Comparison of the model with the real, processed measurement data and validation simulations
- Processing of the simulation and validation results
- Documentation of the model and the results
Requirements:
- Basic understanding and interest in thermodynamics and electrochemistry
- Reliability
- Good software skills (advantageous): Ebsilon, Matlab, MS Office
If you are interested, please send an e-mail with the appropriate application. The start of work is possible from July 2023.
We welcome talented people regardless of where they come from!
