The Research Center Balanced Energy Systems contributes to the large and complex task of transitioning to sustainable energy by developing and validating practical solutions to keep the energy system in balance. Currently there are two main program lines: Flexible Energy Solution and Engineering Hydrogen Systems
Career prospects
At the Research Center Balanced Energy Systems you can work on technology developments in the field of energy conversion and storage, their application in new use cases and the integration with existing energy infrastructure. You will collaborate in a dedicated team with researchers, industry partners and other students, making use of modelling tools and experimental facilities in hydrogen, power and mobility lab, contributing to the validation and implementation of the energy technologies that we need for the energy transition.
Internship/graduation oppertunities
Every semester we are looking for several bachelor and master internship and thesis students for the applied research projects in our two program lines.
In Flexible Energy Solutions the focus is on the development, modelling and validation of (hybrid) energy management systems for (micro)grids. Feasibility studies are being carried out for all kinds of scenarios based on 'use cases' and with the use of its own test and development facilities. The approach is multimodal (electricity, heat and hydrogen) and transdisciplinary (technical, economic, social and legal).
In Engineering Hydrogen Systems the focus is on engineering issues in hydrogen systems, such as testing and integrating new components and optimizing control in relation to efficiency and service life. In addition, techno-economic analyses of decentralized hydrogen applications are also carried out. Safety and laws and regulations always play an important role in this.
