Research Assistant (m/w/d) for the topic ''Optimisation of Large Heat Pumps''

INSTITUTE FOR ENERGY ENERGY AND RATIONAL ENERGY APPLICATION The Institute for Energy Economics and Rational Energy Application (IER) actively supports the sustainable energy system of the future and works interdisciplinary between engineering and natural sciences as well as economic and social sciences. For the processing of scientific and applied projects, we are looking at an M.Sc. of the engineering sciences in the fields of energy and process engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental protection technology or with a comparable scientific focus as Senior Consultant (m/w/d) ‘Optimisation of large heat pumps’ Reference number: SAM 01-25 Large heat pumps (GWP) are a key technology in the transformation of heat applications to climate neutrality. Depending on the design, GWPs can also provide district heating and process heat with up to 250°C for industrial processes. In the course of the IER's research in the field of optimization of large-scale heat pumps and their system integration, we are looking for a researcher*in (m/w/d) for our team with the possibility of promotion. The focus is on the energy-economic analysis of the options for system design, integration and dynamics of large heat pumps within the framework of national and international research projects. Specifically, it is about advantages and disadvantages resulting from high load change speeds of large heat pumps, different options of system design or integration, or the interactions with other heat producers from an ecological and economic point of view. To what extent a standardization/standardization of industrial high-temperature heat pumps can be carried out as a function of the application is also a research question. The place is limited to 2 years and is governed by the Science-Time Contract Act (WissZeitVg). The IER seeks to extend the contract. The adjustment is made in the compensation group TV-L E13 (BW).

Their tasks are to evaluate and optimise the integration of large heat pumps and their components in district heating systems and in industrial processes. For this purpose, models are to be developed and typed for applications.

Current and exciting research topics A collegial environment at the institute The possibility of promotion Cooperation in a team of scientists across all hierarchies Contacts to companies and public institutions within the framework of projects Payment by TV-L E13 (BW) The University of Stuttgart wants to increase the proportion of women in the scientific field and is therefore particularly interested in women's applications. Full-time jobs are generally participatory. In the case of the same suitability, severely disabled persons are primarily employed. JOBV1_EN
