Student* with Thesis (optional) Verification of a Wind Farm Simulator
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
Who we are ...
Our primary focuses at Fraunhofer IWES are on wind energy and hydrogen technologies. Our institute is home to more than 300 scientists and employees as well as over 100 students from over 30 countries pursuing careers in applied research and development at nine sites. We secure investments in technological developments through validation, shorten innovation cycles, accelerate certification procedures, and increase planning accuracy by means of innovative measurement methods.
This team needs your support ...
You will be part of the group »Global Turbine Dynamics« at our site in Bremerhaven. At present, our team consists of five research assistants and several students. We focus on conduct and research in the field of aero-servo-hydro-elastic simulation of wind turbines. The focus is on improving simulation and validation methods for onshore and offshore as well as for floating wind turbines. For this purpose, the MoWiT simulation model (www.mowit.info) was programmed for load calculation and real-time simulation. Become an active member of the team; we are keen to hear your ideas! As an international oriented IWES-team, we highly appreciate an open exchange, whether this be in German or English. Respectful cooperation is also very important to us. You are wondering what you can bring to the team?
What you will do
These duties await you ...
You will support our group in the verification of our digital wind farm simulator. You will learn to simulate individual wind turbines and entire wind farms using the tools developed at IWES. Based on this, you will design a methodology to compare the results of our wind farm simulator with other scientific simulation tools. To do this, you will familiarize yourself with the theory of wake effects within wind farms and with the evaluation of load calculations for individual wind turbines. The findings from your research will flow back directly into the development process in which you are welcome to participate.
What you bring to the table
What is your background?
Are you studying a technical or engineering course like Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace or Physics at Bachelor's or Master's level? Do you have experience with Git and Python software? Do you understand and speak English? Maybe you even have a basic knowledge of wind turbine simulation. Great, we are looking forward to your application!
What you can expect
What we can offer you ...
We offer various opportunities to join us as a student. Whether it is an internship, where you gain a comprehensive insight into the areas of work, or the role of a student assistant, which is easy to combine with your studies. Are you looking for an exciting topic for your thesis and do you want to delve deeply into a topic scientifically? Together, we will find the right path for you! We know that studying can also be very demanding and requires a certain level of flexibility. That is no problem here, as - in agreement with your colleagues - you can decide flexibly what days and hours to work. Temporarily, you can even work remotely, depending on the job.
