Beschreibung

At the Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Energy Systems Engineering (IEK-10) we focus 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.

Your Job:

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, especially for the power and gas sector.

Your main tasks for this position are:

Support the further development of the gas network simulation tool
Integrate new features into the tool
Prototyping test cases

Your Profile:

Basic understanding of energy system modeling and simulation is preferable
Very good knowledge of and some experience in Python and packages, e.g. NumPy, scipy, pandas, etc.
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:

Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
Qualified support through your scientific colleagues
The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
