Energy optimization

What we offer you

You’ll be working at a growing and dynamic family company. The atmosphere is pleasant and informal. You will receive a stipend and compensation for travel expenses. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, you may work at home on your internship assignments and tasks, insofar as this is possible. This will be arranged in consultation with your internship advisor. 

The assignment

Making a computation model to determine the amount of energy needed for a ship to complete a certain route. Weather and other factors must be taken into account.

From this computation model, determine what the ideal on-board power supply would be to complete the route. This might be, for example, a combination of diesel, batteries, supercapacitors and/or other energy sources.
