Internship with Master Thesis

Vor 7 Tagen


Bremerhaven, Deutschland Wind Energy Systems Vollzeit

**Who we are...**
Our primary focuses at Fraunhofer IWES are on wind energy and hydrogen technologies. Our institute is home to more than 300 scientists and employees as well as over 100 students from over 30 countries pursuing careers in applied research and development at nine sites. We secure investments in technological developments through validation, shorten innovation cycles, accelerate certification procedures, and increase planning accuracy by means of innovative measurement methods.

**This team needs your support...**
You will join the group »Test and Method Development« at our site in Bremerhaven. At present, our team consists of four research associates and several students. Our group focuses on developing test methods for wind turbine nacelles. We evaluate new ideas for nacelle testing and improve our existing methods by utilizing high fidelity simulation models of our 10 MW test bench. Become an active member of the team; we are keen to hear your ideas As an international oriented IWES-team, we highly appreciate an open exchange, whether this be in German or English. Respectful cooperation is also very important to us. You are wondering what you can bring to the team?

**What you will do**

**These duties await you **
You will review the state-of-art methods of developing dynamic models of journal bearings. Based on your literature survey, you select the appropriate method to develop dynamic models of journal bearings for wind turbine gearboxes. Your work will be dealing with multibody simulation models of the drivetrain system, which have been developed by our group using MSC Adams Software. You will incorporate your developed models of the journal bearings in the system model. Furthermore, you will perform multiple case studies to analyze the vibration response of the drivetrain and investigate the journal bearing dynamics at different operating conditions.

**What you bring to the table**

**What is your background?**
You have a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and are currently enrolled in a master’s program. You have a good understanding of multibody simulation? Great Maybe you even have knowledge of applied mechanics and machinery in general, this would be even better. Furthermore, you have good programming skills in MATLAB.

**What you can expect**

**What we can offer you...**
We offer various opportunities to join us as a student. Whether it is an internship, where you gain a comprehensive insight into the areas of work, or the role of a student assistant, which is easy to combine with your studies. Are you looking for an exciting topic for your thesis and do you want to delve deeply into a topic scientifically? Together, we will find the right path for you We know that studying can also be very demanding and requires a certain level of flexibility. That is no problem here, as - in agreement with your colleagues - you can decide flexibly what days and hours to work.

**Eager to learn more?**

The position is initially limited to 3 months. During an internship, the working time consists of 39 hours per week. In case of a student assistantship, the working time consists of 60 hours per month. In the case of an internship, remuneration is based on the federal government guidelines for intern salaries. In the case of a student assistantship, remuneration is based on the general works agreement for employing assistant staff.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
