Internship Modeling and Diagnostics

2 maanden geleden


Helmond, Nederland TNO Voltijd

Mobility is an application areas that is highly investigated to accelerate the market share of hydrogen fuelled vehicles. The goal of this internship is to extend the simulation tool for hydrogen fuel cell (FC) vehicles to include FC degradation effects and/or FC diagnostics approaches. What will be your role?

You will implement degradation models for hydrogen fuel cell system into an in-house, physics based fuel cell model. For this purpose various degradation mechanisms from the literature need to implemented and tested. The base fuel cell model will be provided. The results will be verified/validated making use of measurement data.The hydrogen fuel cell model and simulation results will be used to improve understanding of the fuel cell degradation processes in relation to operating conditions. Based on this model, diagnostics for state-of-health of the fuel cell can be developed. This will help to increase the lifetime of a fuel cell system, which will enable the cost-effective use of hydrogen fuel cell systems for commercial vehicles.In this project, the following activities are foreseen:

  • Literature survey on degradation models
  • Familiarize with TNO’s fuel cell model
  • Implement degradation models into the main fuel cell model
  • Simulation of hydrogen fuel cell at a variety of conditions
  • Validation of the model with existing experimental data
  • Parameter variation study to understand degradation process sensitivities
  • Analysis simulation results
  • Report writing and presentation of results at TNO What we expect from you
    • You have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, for example mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, chemical engineering.
    • You are coursing a master in a relevant field, for example mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, chemical engineering.
    • Experience with and knowledge about Matlab.
    • You enjoy developing innovative solutions to technically challenging problems and have the right mix of intellectual curiosity and pragmatism. What you'll get in return

        At TNO we encourage an inclusive work environment, where you can be yourself. Whatever your story and whatever unique qualities you bring to the table. It is by combining our unique strengths and perspectives that we are able to develop innovations that make a real difference in society. The selection process

        After the first CV selection, the application process will be conducted by the concerning department. TNO will provide a suitable internship agreement. If you have any questions about this vacancy, you can contact the contact person mentioned below.For this internship vacancy it is required that the AIVD issues a security clearance (VGB) after conducting a security screening. Take into account that this process may take about 8 weeks. If you have been abroad for more than 6 consecutive months, or if you do not have the Dutch nationality, it may take longer.

        Important to be aware of before applying:

        • Before the start of the internship, the internship agreement from TNO needs to be signed. For students at a college or university based in the Netherlands, TNO uses the UNL-template (supplemented with a number of specific agreements from TNO). For students of foreign and MBO educational institutions, the TNO internship agreement applies. TNO does not sign any other internship agreements.
        • Before the start of the internship, the educational institution will need to confirm in writing that:
          1. you are enrolled at the educational institution during the internship, and;
          2. the internship takes place as part of the programme of the study.
            • The confirmation of educational institution takes place by signing the UNL template or forms prepared by TNO.
            • Interns at TNO must be in possession of a Dutch residential address at the start of the internship. Performance of internship activities from abroad is not possible.
