Masterand (M/F/d) Thermal Modelling of Electric - Erlangen, Deutschland - Valeo

Beschreibung

Valeo is a tech global company, designing breakthrough solutions to reinvent the mobility. We are an automotive supplier partner to automakers and new mobility actors worldwide.

Our vision? Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions.

We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies.

The task of this master thesis is planned to be a part of research topic performed under "Electric Machines - Thermal Management and Verification" product group of Drive Control in software department.

These challenges await you to complete your master thesis:

• Literature survey on fundamental of heat transfer mechanism, electrical and mechanical power losses in an electric machine (PMSM) and modelling of state of art lumped parameter thermal network (LPTN)
• Development of an analytical thermal model of an electric motor in order to estimate hot spot temperatures in rotor and stator. (3-node LPTN)
• Design and analytical calculation of developed lumped parameter thermal network
• Identification und calibration of all necessary parameters of thermal model and state observer
• Validation of model with the help of simulation results and possibly verification of model on motor test bench measured with a special motor mounted with thermocouples
• Separate Analysis of integration of Luenberger observer and Kalman filter in 3-node LPTN
• Extension of 3-node LPTN by utilising measured stator temperature as state correction vector in order to integrate state observer in LPTN
• Interpretation and evaluation of the results obtained from motor test bench along with parameter fine-tuning using an iterative approach
• Development of a GUI-Tool to evaluate measurement routine and parameter calculation

Your Qualifications:

• Enrolled student (M/F/d) in the field of computer science, electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics, robotics, or equivalent
• Area of research: Electric Machines (PMSM / ASM), Advance Control Technology, Motion Control, Luenberger Observer / Kalman Filter
• Knowledge of C programming languages is a must (skilled MATLAB script coding)
• Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink and Simulink Toolbox is necessary
• You are an organizational talent with very good PC skills (e.g. MS Office, Data Management, Jabref, LaTeX)
• You are a comfortable working in a team and possess selfinitiative, structured and analytical approach
