Praktikant*in Lebensdauer Lithium-Ionen-Batterien Übertrag Alterungsmodellen auf neue Zell-Chemie

Research And Development Incl. Design

Our work is shaped by the visions and requirements of e-mobility. We mean innovative products with the highest quality and efficient development processes. In Mercedes-Benz development, we shape the automotive generations of the future. We are already working on vehicles and components that will secure the technology leadership of Mercedes-Benz AG in the future.

Our center is responsible for the entire battery development in the drive development area of Mercedes-Benz AG. The customer's desire for a long runtime dictates the high requirements for EV and PHEV battery systems. Well-founded models of aging in batteries are essential for the optimal prediction of the lifespan. Understanding the physical-chemical processes is an important building block for optimizing the models.

These challenges come to you:

• Introduction to the topic of life expectancy and aging mechanisms of lithium-ion batteries
• Use of an existing model framework for the life expectancy simulation of lithium-ion batteries for model parametrization
• Conducting a study on the transferability of models to new cell chemistry and evaluating the model quality for different parametrization approaches
• Development of concepts to improve the prediction quality
• Documentation, presentation, and discussion of the results

The internship takes place in cooperation with a university. The final topic selection is made in consultation with the university, you, and us.

• Study:
  Course of study in the field of engineering, natural sciences, information technology, or a comparable course of study, ideally with in-depth knowledge in the field of battery technology
• Experience and specific knowledge:
  Experience with the simulation description of systems
• Strong programming skills, especially in Matlab/Simulink
• Secure use of MS Office
• Language skills:
  Secure German and English skills in speech and writing
• Personal competencies:
  Independent, structured, and goal-oriented way of working as well as pronounced analytical thinking
