Bachelor/Master Thesis: Development of efficient gearbox models to analyse wind turbine dynamics
Job summary
A leading technical university in Aachen is offering an exciting thesis opportunity focused on improving wind energy technology by creating and testing gearbox simulation models for wind turbines. Candidates should have analytical thinking skills and an interest in wind energy. The position provides flexible working hours, intensive support, and the chance to participate in scientific publications.
Benefits
Qualifications
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Motivated and structured way of working.
- Interest in wind energy, gearboxes, and simulations.
- Previous knowledge in the field of simulation and programming (e.g. MATLAB/PYTHON) is desirable.
Responsibilities
- Research of the state of the art.
- Familiarisation with FE and MBS modelling.
- Compare different simulation models with varying levels of detail.
- Select and demonstrate the optimal model in simulations.
The Institute for Machine Elements and Systems Engineering (iMSE) together with the Chair for Wind Power Drives researches the behaviour of drive systems in modern multi-megawatt wind turbines. The research objectives are to increase the availability, robustness and energy efficiency of wind turbines and to reduce the energy costs. For this experiment’s with software simulation tools and modern test benches are combined.
In order to reduce the electricity generation costs of modern wind turbines, an increase in the power density of the planetary gears in wind turbines is desired. The use of compact planetary gears with journal bearings is becoming common. Therefore, research is being carried out at CWD on the journal bearing of planetary gears in wind turbine gearboxes.
This thesis offers an exciting chance to help improve wind energy technology. The project involves creating and testing gearbox simulation models for wind turbines using available experimental data. Different gearbox models will be built, each with varying levels of detail, and their accuracy and performance in calculations will be evaluated.
- Research of the state of the art
- Familiarisation with FE and MBS modelling
- Compare different simulation models with varying levels of detail with available experimental data
- Select the optimal model and demonstrate the applicability of this model in comprehensive MBS simulations for wind turbine systems
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
- Motivated and structured way of working
- Interest in wind energy, gearboxes and simulations
- Previous knowledge in the field of simulation and programming (e.g. MATLAB/PYTHON) is desirable, but not mandatory
- Working towards a climate-neutral future
- Intensive support during the final thesis
- Option to participate in a scientific publication
- Direct start and home-office possible
- Flexible working hours
Interested but still undecided?
We would be happy to discuss any questions in person.
