Intern - Energy System Modelling, Control & HIL Testing

About the job

You will join our Integrated Energy System working on the development and validation of integrated energy and power systems for large marine applications. During this internship, you will support the development of dynamic system models and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing environments used to develop and validate control software. The work combines electrical and mechanical system modelling, control engineering and practical system testing. A key focus will be understanding the interaction between different parts of an energy system, such as engines, generators, electric machines, drives, energy storage and power distribution systems, and representing these interactions in simulation and HIL models.

• Develop, improve and maintain dynamic models of electrical and mechanical systems.
• Support the development and clean-up of plant models used for HIL testing.
• Adapt models to different system configurations and applications.
• Model components such as internal combustion engines, electric machines, generators, drives, batteries and electrical power distribution systems.
• Support HIL-based testing and validation of control software.
• Develop and execute system-level test scenarios and analyse system behaviour.
• Support troubleshooting of model, control and software behaviour.
• Contribute to the development and evaluation of advanced control concepts
• Document models, test results and engineering findings.
