Student Research Assistant Position: Python Simulation for Sector-Coupled Energy Systems

The ASN research group is looking for a student research assistant (HiWi) to support the IntelliEMEs project. Join us in developing a Python-based simulation environment for sector-coupled energy systems to test and evaluate control strategies before real-world deployment.

Project

In the IntelliEMEs research project, we develop predictive control and monitoring for sector-coupled energy systems that combine electricity and heat. To test new ideas before field deployment, we are building a Python-based simulation that replicates the behavior of a real energy system.

This simulation allows us to develop control strategies and analyze system behavior before they are implemented in real-world systems.

Your Tasks

  • Contribute to the development of a modular Python simulation framework
  • Implement models for PV systems, storage systems, heat pumps, and heating systems
  • Work with real input data (weather, prices, demand)
  • Run simulation scenarios and analyze the results
  • Support testing of the simulation software

Your Profile

  • Studies in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a similar field
  • Experience with Python and Git
  • Basic knowledge of control systems or optimization is a plus
  • Interest in renewable energy systems
  • Reliable and team-oriented working style
