Your role and responsibilities
Switchgear in medium voltage grids are systems controlling and protecting a large variety of grid assets. As they are very broadly used and in very different applications (from substations in urban and rural areas to wind farms or industrial plants) there are high demands on their reliability and safety. Furthermore, such systems have a very long lifetime of about 30 and up to 50 years in extreme cases. Considering this background, sustainability in the design of these devices and especially in their mechanical components has long been seen as a minor issue compared to its functional safety and reliability. With changing regulations and new customer demand the question of how to improve switchgear design towards more sustainable material choices arises. In the intended thesis, a study on material choices considering cost and sustainability aspects for mechanically loaded parts shall be conducted. To this end, the student will focus on a systematic material selection, but also simulate loaded parts with a FEM software and modify their geometry in CAD. A special aspect of this thesis is that in all these steps, care is taken to ensure that both economic efficiency and sustainability aspects are already favored through the selection of materials and processes in the early design phase. As a result, the systematic material selection should take the whole life cycle of the product into account. Eventually, the results of this thesis will contribute to a new engineering design method within a larger project at the German Research Center of ABB in Mannheim in cooperation with several universities. The following tasks and responsibilities will be part of your role: • We expect you to have the willingness to tackle difficult problems and proactiveness to come up with new ideas. • As part of our project team, you should have high motivation to get acquainted with an unknown topic, interest in code development, and independently drive your tasks.
Qualifications for the role
- You are studying for a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Environmental Engineering, Material Sciences or similar field.
- You are a good communicator, you have sound English skills in speaking and writing as required by an international team.
- You are interested in sustainable design, material selection and solving complex industrial problems.
- You have a strong background in material sciences and material selection.
- You should preferably be familiar with design methodology and material processing/manufacturing - that would be a plus.
- You have experience in CAD software, e.g., SolidWorks. Experience in Ansys Granta Selector and/or FEM simulation would be a big plus.
