Internship, Bachelor or Master Thesis (w/m/d) – Modeling, Simulation and Analysis of Power System Components

Your Job:

To meet the need of advanced simulation capability required by the energy transition, we’re developing software that enables large-scale parallel simulation of power systems on with the aid of cutting-edge technologies such as the supercomputers of the Jülich Research Centre and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters with newest GPU and FPGA based accelerators.

Your tasks will be:

• Developing energy system component models (e.g. wind turbines, storage systems, etc.) in the framework of our parallel simulation environment
  
• Support in the design of test cases
  
• Performance evaluation in large-scale power system simulation

Your Profile:

• Good background in electric power engineering, physics, mathematics or other related subject
  
• Experience in energy systems and modeling
  
• Experience or good knowledge in programming
  
• Interested in modeling and simulation
  
• Fluent in English (spoken and written)

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

• 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
  
• An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented themes
  
• Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
  
• The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
  
• Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
  
• A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
  
• Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work
  

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
