Student in the field of engineering or a comparable discipline with preferable relation to energy technologies (f/m/x)

Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure.

Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge?

Then this is your place!For our Institute of Networked Energy Systemsin Stuttgart we are looking for

Student Engineering, Energy Technology or similar (f / m / x)

Master Thesis : Extension of a tool to estimate electricity demand and flexibility potential of electric vehicles in EuropeWhat to expect : The Institute for Networked Energy Systems employs around 185 people at its sites in Oldenburg and Stuttgart.

With its departments of Urban and Residential Technologies, Energy Systems Technology and Energy Systems Analysis, it is dedicated to system-technical and system-analytical issues concerning the intelligent and efficient coupling of the electricity, heat, industry and transport sectors.

The Energy Systems Analysis department pursues the goal of enabling the optimal design of energy systems with high shares of renewable energies by providing detailed orientation knowledge.

The Energy Systems Modelling group is dedicated to the analysis of energy systems transformation pathways in high spatial and temporal resolution, the further methodological development of energy systems models and the identification and open provision of data for these models.

Within this framework, we are continuously developing the open-source tool venco.py that estimates demand profiles and flexibility potential for future electric vehicle fleets in an aggregated manner.

The tool currently quantifies road and freight transport for Germany and, within the scope of this master's thesis, it is to be extended for other European countries.

With your work you will help raise the quality and informative value of venco.py to estimate electric vehicles demand and flexibility potential.

Specifically, the work entails the following tasks :

• extension of the scope of the tool to other European countries
• research of additional data bases
• characterisation and validation of country-specific electricity demand and flexibility profiles
• documentation of all input data and results according to FAIR principles
• presentation of (interim) results on a regular basis
• analysis and discussion of results regarding charging demand and flexibility potential of EV fleets in different European countries

What we expect from you :

• currently registered student in the field of engineering or a comparable discipline with preferable relation to energy technologies
• experience in data preparation and handling using Python
• basic knowledge of energy systems analysis
• high degree of initiative and pronounced willingness to work in a team
• analytical way of thinking and high motivation to develop your own ideas
• enthusiasm to contribute to a successful energy system transformation
• very good English skills, both in written and spoken language, other European languages are a plus (depending on specific country datasets)

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally.

To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular.
