Aufgaben

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation Development:

Maintain the existing Modelica-based tool and models (debugging, updates, release management, etc.).
Enhance and modify existing Modelica-based models, focusing on heat exchangers and thermal storage models.
Develop closed-loop heat pump system models for new plant layouts and refrigerants.
Validate existing models (components and complete system) using experimental data or supplier-provided information (e.g., heat exchangers).
Conduct sensitivity analysis simulation runs and analyze component limitations.
Dynamic Simulation Tool Usage for R&D and Engineering Support:
Implement real industrial project-based dynamic operation scenarios, such as start-up, shut-down, and grid stability balancing with fast load/power variation.
Utilize simulation results to determine operational limitations, collaborating with the Engineering team.
Propose and verify novel control and operation strategies.
Evaluate refrigerant fluid transfer during maintenance operations.
Assess performance variation of heat exchangers under off-design conditions.
Validate novel heat pump features through dynamic simulations.
Pre-dimension equipment, followed by iterative clarifications with sub-suppliers.
Develop novel energy import and export concepts based on existing load profiles (e.g., energy management optimization concepts).

Qualifikation

Education & Experience:

MSc in mechanical engineering (Technical University degree).
PhD is an advantage.
