Job Description

The internship consists of performing simulations for the development of a supercritical Once Through boiler (HRSG – Heat Recovery Steam Generator). Heavy-duty once-through boilers are high-efficiency steam generators that operate without a drum, pushing water through the system in a single pass to produce steam. They are ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature applications like power generation or industrial processing due to their rapid startup capability and compact design.

The target of the internship will be to check various risk scenarios such as flow instabilities, plant control challenges or equipment lifetime implications to be mitigated. The intern will be part of the Plant Simulation team and as such getting integrated into the project team working on this development. Through regular team meetings the progress will be monitored and simulation needs adjusted.

Simulation work:

Perform special studies to assess the feasibility of plant control features Apply dynamic calculation software and provide simulation of the complete cycle or an isolated system in order to mitigate the risk of operating problems Develop new Python and SCL scripts Develop and assess new control concepts at plant or system level.

Desired experience:

Enhanced knowledge in the field of Thermo-/Fluiddynamics or Automation Knowledge of dynamic calculation equipment and control concepts Detailed know-how in thermodynamics, general knowledge of thermal power plants is an advantageIT skills and experience in programming (Python, JS, SCL) Good written and spoken English

What do you get/deliver:

The intern will learn about complex Plant simulations, SLC programming of model generation, operability simulation and thermodynamic model tuning. As an outcome of this internship, recommendations about plant control concept will be give. A final report including the details of simulations performed and the results and the thereof derived recommendations will be provided.
