Vor 4 Tagen
The opportunity
At Hitachi Energy Research, we closely collaborate with business areas to develop foundations for the next generation of Power Grids products. Located in the proximity of Zurich, the research center employs approximately 65 scientists from all over the world with cross-disciplinary expertise. In the Systems Integration and Physics Team, we address the challenges and opportunities in enhancing grid flexibility and facilitating renewable energy proliferation. A key focus of our work is multi-physics modeling for power electronic systems, which plays a critical role in fast-growing applications such as electric vehicle charging, energy storage and renewables like wind and solar. In this context, we offer a 6 months master's thesis project on the design and comparative analysis of single-phase and three-phase DAB converters, providing the opportunity of working on real-world projects in an international team of researchers.
How You'll Make An Impact
- Extension of a MATLAB-based tool for systematic and comprehensive design and optimization of power electronic converters
- Literature review and comparison of single-phase and three-phase Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converters
- Performance analysis of key components, i.e. semiconductors, capacitors, and magnetics
- Implementation, testing, and documentation of selected topology
- Adaption of the code architecture as necessary to maintain clarity and facilitate easy maintenance
- Collaboration with an international research team and experts in power electronics
Your background
- Enrolled in a Masters degree program (official enrolment is essential) in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer sciences, or a or similar discipline (completion of at least six semesters)
- Experience with MATLAB programming
- Familiarity with power electronic converter operation and modelling is a plus
- Enthusiastic, self-motivated mindset and ability to work independently
- Highly conscientious person with keen sense of responsibility
- Fluency in English, written and spoken
