About the Position
Internship Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation for Thermal Systems
Aachen, NRW, Germany
Internship
by arrangement
Are you looking for an internship in the field of simulation with a focus on Hardware-in-the-Loop tests as part of your studies? Then you might be exactly right at TLK Energy in Aachen.
We are a specialized consulting and service company in the field of thermodynamics and energy technology. We simulate and optimize processes, primarily using the modeling language Modelica. In addition to existing software products, we develop our own model libraries and offer individual software solutions for our customers. Our clients include both small and medium-sized enterprises as well as well-known companies from the automotive and energy sectors. We are a young and committed team. You can learn more about us on our website and LinkedIn account.
Hardware-in-the-Loop:
Refrigeration cycles are part of many technical applications. The widespread use of heat pumps makes them one of the key technologies of the energy transition. The associated time pressure requires modern methods that enable efficient product development.
System simulation can make important design decisions long before physical prototypes are built. Furthermore, control strategies can be designed based on a simulation model, and the programmed physical controller can subsequently be tested using Hardware-in-the-Loop tests. This is to ensure the robustness of the real heat pump in later operation.
About You
Are you looking for an internship as part of your studies? Does your field of study match our company (Computational Engineering Science, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Computer Science, Physics…)? Then simply apply with a short letter of motivation, CV, and documents from your studies, such as grade overview and diplomas. Please let us know if it is a voluntary or mandatory internship.
Your Tasks
The tasks will depend on your skills and field of study. Possible activities include:
- Further development of existing refrigeration cycle models in Modelica as HiL track models
- Development of a test environment in Python or MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate the robustness and performance of track models
- Implementation of control strategies for heat pumps
- Model-in-the-Loop tests
What You Bring
- Strong interest in thermodynamics
- Ideally, prior knowledge of modeling languages such as Modelica and programming languages such as Python or MATLAB
- Motivation and willingness to independently tackle engineering issues
Framework
- Duration: 2-3 months
- Insight into industrial practice
- Young dynamic team
- Relaxed working atmosphere
- Partially possible home office
