Master Thesis Battery Aging Optimization for Vehicle-to-X Applications

Job Description

• During your thesis, you design, implement, and validate an innovative predictive energy management algorithm for advanced Vehicle-to-Grid/Home (V2X) applications.
• Furthermore, you optimize daily energy flows to ensure maximum efficiency while proactively minimizing the degradation of vehicle batteries.
• You resolve the complex trade-off between short-term economic gains as well as the long-term preservation of battery State of Health (SoH).
• In addition, you select appropriate battery aging models—such as SPMe, ECM, or simplified PyBaMM models—and integrate them seamlessly into the optimization process.
• Lastly, you validate your models using a data-driven approach, leveraging both publicly available and confidential internal datasets.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Energy Engineering, or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: sound technical knowledge of battery technologies and battery degradation mechanisms; proficient use of Python for development and analysis; expertise in optimization algorithms and methods
• Personality and Working Practice: you enjoy working independently on complex issues and possess a high level of intrinsic motivation to develop innovative solutions
• Work Routine: with us, you benefit from a hybrid model that enables you to work both in the office and remotely
• Enthusiasm: you demonstrate a strong willingness to learn and find joy in discovering and integrating new technologies and concepts
• Languages: fluent in English
