Studentische Hilfskraft "Agri-Photovoltaik Unterstützung von Projekten mit Bereich Ökologie"

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg is the largest solar energy research institute in Europe. Our approximately 1400 employees are working for a sustainable economic safe and socially just energy supply system based on renewable energies. We contribute to this with our research priorities of energy supply energy distribution energy storage and energy use. We are shaping the sustainable transformation of the energy system through outstanding research results successful industrial projects company spin-offs and global collaborations.

Hier sorgst Du für Veränderung

The feed-in of renewable energies into the power grids is increasingly influenced by self-consumption local storage and electromobility. Knowing the feed-in is important for power grid operators in order to ensure operational control and marketing.
In the Energy Meteorology we are developing new methods for extrapolating PV feed-in in addition to forecasting solar radiation and PV the current PVEV research project ( we are working on optimizing models for estimating PV self-consumption and based on this developing an extrapolation algorithm.

To support the PVEV project we are looking for a student assistant to start on 1 March 2026 with the opportunity to write a masters thesis on the topic of Modeling PV feed-in with energy management in the transmission grid. Initially you will work on the research project as a student assistant. After a training period of several months you will begin working on the content and questions of your masters thesis.

Your tasks will include:

• You will analyze various data sets for master data.
• You will implement a PV self-consumption estimate and a PV projection using the additional data sets.
• You will compare and validate your approach with existing projections.
• You will document your results and present your findings in meetings and project meetings.
• You will write a thesis and present it internally and externally.

Hiermit bringst Du Dich ein

• You study engineering natural sciences or related subjects in a masters program with admission to a thesis.
• You have a strong interest in mathematical modeling and data analysis.
• You work well with project partners and masters thesis supervisors.
• Knowledge of renewable energies and power grids is an advantage but not a requirement.
• It is important to you to contribute to your team and to achieve common goals through collaboration.
• You plan and complete tasks independently and to a high standard.
• You have strong analytical skills.
• You are experienced in scientific programming in Python.
• Ideally you have already worked with databases and geographic information systems.
