Research Assistant for Optimal Storage Management

vor 4 Wochen

Kassel, Deutschland Energy Economics and Energy System Technology Vollzeit

The Fraunhofer IEE in Kassel conducts research in the fields of energy management and energy systems technology. Around 450 scientists, employees and students develop solutions for the energy transition and generate around 38 million euros in revenue per year.

The energy transition in Germany is accompanied by a strong expansion of renewable energies. However, the expansion of offshore wind energy poses growing challenges for grid operators and electricity traders, which can lead to bottleneck situations in the electricity grid. One possible solution is flexibility based on storage systems that can absorb or supply energy in advance using forecasts for the next few hours and days. The aim is to investigate the extent to which ensemble forecasts offer added value for storage optimization compared to deterministic forecasts by better reflecting the uncertainties of weather forecasts.

**What you will do**
- support with data preparation and analysis
- analysis of meteorological situations
- development of customized ensemble power forecasts for critical offshore wind situations and the optimal operation of large-scale storage facilities
- collaboration in the preparation of scientific publications
- support in the organization of project meetings and workshops

**What you bring to the table**
- You are studying energy economics, meteorology, physics, data science, engineering, applied mathematics or a comparable degree program
- You have already worked with probabilistic forecasts or have a strong interest in them and address this in your cover letter
- You have good knowledge of programming and data analysis (preferably in Python or Matlab) or optimization
- You are interested in the integration of renewable energies
- knowledge in the field of machine learning is an advantage
- fluent English proficiency

**What you can expect**

The monthly working hours are between 40 and 80 hours. The position is initially limited to 6 months. A longer-term collaboration is being sought Remuneration according to 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.
