Graz, Steiermark, Österreich BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH Vollzeit

Welcome to the innovative world of BEST

BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH is the leading center in Austria focusing on pre-competitive industry-related research in the bioenergy and biobased economy sector.

Join our dynamic team at BEST where we actively contribute to the shift towards a sustainable and eco-friendly bioeconomy.

Your skills and passion for research and innovation are highly sought after here. Collaborate with us on engaging projects and unleash your scientific potential. Be part of the journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.

If you are a team player, enthusiastic, and open-minded, BEST is the perfect place for you.

Tasks

We are seeking a dedicated student (m/w/d) specializing in electrical, mechanical, or process engineering, or related fields. This paid Master's thesis opportunity is in partnership with the Institute of Automation and Control at Graz University of Technology.

Currently, we are focusing on a project to enhance the sustainability of drying agricultural products by creating a mobile drying system powered by 100% renewable energy sources. The system integrates a sorption storage unit, a solar thermal collector, and heat recovery mechanisms. The goal of the Master's thesis is to develop and validate an advanced operational strategy for a prototype, ensuring precise moisture control of the goods being dried and optimizing system efficiency through intelligent component integration.

Your responsibilities

  • Build and validate a simulation model for the drying system with support from BEST
  • Devise model-based control strategies for optimal system operation in terms of efficiency and resource management
  • Evaluate the new control strategies using the simulation model
  • Possibly implement and validate the controls on the prototype
Requirements

Your qualifications

  • Background in electrical, mechanical, or process engineering, or a related field
  • Preferably some knowledge in control or process engineering
  • Proficiency in MATLAB / Simulink programming
  • Enrolled in an Austrian university with EU visa or residence permit
Benefits

What we offer you

  • Be part of a motivated team
  • Potential involvement in future projects upon successful completion
  • Competitive financial compensation based on student staff salary structure
  • Access to a dedicated workspace and possibility of remote work

To promote diversity, BEST strongly encourages applications from female candidates.
