The Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) invites applications for 3 Research Associate/PhD Student positions in the field of control and operation of highly integrated electro-thermal systems of future electrified flight propulsion systems. Hybrid-electric as well as battery-electric propulsion technologies offer the possibility to partially or completely displace fossil fuels from regional aviation. To achieve the economic goals of environmentally friendly, safe, and competitive aviation, a holistic systematic approach to the design of electrified flight propulsion systems is necessary. Due to the significantly higher system complexity, this results in substantial new requirements for the control systems used for energy and power management. To accomplish this, we need your creative ideas and support!
The respective research focus of the three positions are:
- Predictive energy management system;
- Intelligent power control system for the electrical grid components;
- Real-time fault detection system for the propulsion components.
The research will be carried out as part of the LuFo joint project "Safe and reliable electrical and thermal networks for hybrid-electric drive systems (ETHAN)", which is led by Rolls Royce Germany and entails several partners at the BTU as well as at five other universities. The project is integrated into the "Center for Hybrid Electric Systems Cottbus (CHESCO)".
Starting date: As soon as possible
Duration: 36 months, fully funded, remuneration according to E13 TV-L
Closing date for applications: 18.01.2022
