Master Thesis Industrial Energy System Modelling

Your tasks

We are seeking a master thesis student to contribute to the development of an optimization-based energy system model. This research aims to investigate the potential for electrification and energy flexibility measures to support the decarbonization goals of an industrial production site.

• During your master thesis, you will develop and validate a sector-coupled energy system model of an industrial site, integrating operational data and technical parameters to accurately represent the industrial site's energy needs and flexibility potential.
• You will use relevant present and future energy market data to model its impact on the industrial site.
• Furthermore, you will extend the existing mathematical modelling framework to include new features or constraints.

Your profile

• Education: Master studies in the field of Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: coding experience in Python for data science applications; knowledge of operations research and mathematical programing; previous research experience and knowledge of energy system modelling is an advantage
• Personality and Working Practice: you are collaborative, independent and work structured with an analytical approach
• Work Routine: hybrid model with required presence at the location
• Enthusiasm: interest in energy economics and decarbonization policy
• Languages: very good in English
