Objective of the internship is to carry out thermal-fluid-dynamic simulations to evaluate the performances of a GCB during operation under steady state and transient electrical loads. Additionally, 1D simulation is applied to speed up the simulation process for parameter studies. The simulations will be carried out with the software Ansys Maxwell, Fluent and Dymola.
The candidate will receive dedicated assistance and support from the Hitachi Energy engineers and scientists. Optional is the planning/design of validation experimental tests in collaboration with the Hitachi Energy Technology Center Team and Hitachi Energy Corporate Research Center.
