Job description:

Your Job:

In this Master's thesis, you will conduct research on various load and working profiles related to non-road mobile machines (NRMM), covering both construction and agricultural machinery.

Following this, you will develop a load profile generator based on the insights gathered from different types of machinery, such as excavators, wheel loaders, telescopic cranes, tractors, and combine harvesters.

This project aims to support the transition towards more sustainable energy systems within the NRMM sector by assessing efficiency and investments for different powertrain configurations.

Your tasks will encompass the following areas:

Conduct a review of existing literature to understand current load profiles used in nonroad mobile machinery. The focus should lie on their operational environment
Engage with several companies and stakeholders within the NRMM sector. Your goal is to gather realworld data and information that will help in the development of the load profile generator.
Design a unified strategy that allows for the creation of a flexible load profile generator based on existing models. It should accommodate various machine types and be customizable to meet specific user requirements
Develop a robust Python model to simulate the power requirements of NRMM under different operational scenarios. This model should rely on welldefined inputs and generate validated output types.
Integrate the newly developed load generator with the existing IEK3 model. This integration aims to enrich the broader analysis of NRMM by providing more accurate and comprehensive data on energy consumption and efficiency

Your Profile:

Very good academic record and currently enrolled in a Master's program in engineering (energy technology, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering) or a related field of study
Interest in topics and issues related to transportation or energy.
Ability to work independently and analytically as part of a project team
Experience in modelling and programming (especially in Python) is advantageous
Very good knowledge of written and spoken English and German

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:

An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented themes
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
Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
The possibility of (location) flexible working, e.g. home office for 23 days per week
A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
