Master Thesis: High-resolution calculation of hydrogen potentials in Karlsruhe bei Systems and Innovation Research

project to calculate Renewable Energy potentials with a high resolution. Join us in extending Enertile's cutting-edge Renewable Potential Calculator to efficiently calculate and optimize the hydrogen potential within the designated area. The calculation of the global renewable energy potentials would be the base for this work.

Objective: In this master thesis project, your main objective will be to enhance Enertile's Renewable Potential Calculator by incorporating advanced functionalities to estimate the cost-optimized hydrogen potential. By extending the model's capabilities, you will enable a comprehensive analysis of green hydrogen opportunities within the 6.5x6.5 km² grid, taking into account various influencing factors.

What you will do:

• Literature review of the current hydrogen calculation methodologies
• Thoroughly study and understand the existing Enertile Renewable Potential Calculator and its underlying principles
• Extend the current code to include your findings and calculate hydrogen potentials with a high resolution on a global level
Validate the model's performance using real data and scenarios, ensuring its accuracy and reliability

What you bring to the table

• Economics or engineering fields of study
• Interest in technical and economic issues
• Programming skills required. JAVA is a plus
• Independent, structured and goal-oriented way of working

What you can expect

• Working as a team: You work independently and take on responsibility in highly motivated teams. Our employees benefit from our flat hierarchy, which promotes an autonomous approach to work.
