2022 Summer/Fall Graduate Student Research Assistant / Student Assistant

TOPIC
Technical feasibility analysis of retrofitting conventional vessels into full battery-electric systems

ORGANIZATION
Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

DESCRIPTION
The Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division (EAEI) at Berkeley Lab provides innovative scientific analysis that enables countries to consider policies, implement programs, and deploy technologies to meet energy needs efficiently and sustainably. We conduct rigorous analysis of the policy, economic, and technical issues that are most relevant to transitioning to a clean, efficient, reliable, and affordable energy system. We work collaboratively with energy researchers, policy makers, suppliers, and consumers in emerging economies and elsewhere to facilitate effective clean energy policies and programs by providing objective analyses and building capacity.

The goal of this project is to develop methodologies of retrofitting conventional vessels to full battery-electric systems for prevalent types and estimate battery design specifications, including, but not limited to, nominal module voltage, nominal capacity, dimensions, weight, volume, specific energy, energy density, discharging/charging current, total energy consumption, number of battery modules in series, number of parallel battery strings, by vessel type and voyage distance defined.

SKILLS required
 Good understanding of technical characteristics in battery storage systems
 Data analysis skills

EXPERIENCE preferred
 Good understanding of naval architecture and marine engineering

HOW TO APPLY
Students interested in the position can send a resume that includes educational information, skills, and relevant experience to Won Young Park at wypark@lbl.gov.
You will be contacted only if you are being considered for selection for this study. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
