Graduate Fall Intern – Modeling and Analysis of Distributed Hybrid Energy Systems
About The Position
NLR is seeking a graduate fall intern to design and optimize distributed hybrid energy systems focused on producing chemical end-uses. This will feature integration of technologies such as across generation, storage, the distribution system, and chemical end-uses. The intern will design and run analyses and optimizations of distributed hybrid energy systems to determine optimal sizing technically and economically. The researcher will need to deploy scalable strategies for varying hybrid plant sizes in real-time. The researcher will use a variety of simulation tools including, H2Integrate. This researcher is expected to demonstrate a broad understanding and wide application of engineering principles, theories and concepts as well as general knowledge of hybrid energy related disciplines and applications. The researcher will work with a variety of customers including federal, state, and industry partners. The successful candidate will have excellent writing, interpersonal and communication skills. The candidate will be expected to help publish results in technical journals/conference proceedings and present work at conferences, symposia, and sponsor review meetings. They will also be expected to support the development of new work proposals, preparations, and reviews.
