Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

Siemens Energy, Finspång, develops and manufactures gas turbines for power generation and operation of compressors and pumps. We are a strong player in the energy transition and our gas turbines are leading the adoption of green fuels. This rapid development brings challenges also on the gas turbine measurement systems. You will be part of the group that is responsible for the design and technological progress of the measurement’s methods applied to our products.

You will apply on two projects with one application and more details will be given under the interview process. At that stage will be very interesting to know which project is more interesting for you, but feel free to highlight that in your application too.

The projects are performed at our labs, and they can be between 20 weeks and up to 7 months long with start in October to have enough time for you to introduce developments in the test methods and collect results to validate them.

Project 1

The operation and validation of gas turbines, as well as their performance, are monitored by thousands of sensors of various types. The project focuses on developing and evaluating soft sensors and anomaly detection methods for industrial sensor data. You will work with real-world datasets and build upon previous student work in data-driven modelling. The goal is to improve the reliability and predictive capabilities of our measurement systems. If you are passionate about advanced analytics and want to apply your skills to real challenges this opportunity is for you. This project is open for two students.

Project 2

One of the most critical measurements is dynamic pressure, which monitors the combustion process. The piezoelectric sensor should output an electric signal proportional to the pressure fluctuations, ideally without being influenced by the high temperature (~700°C).

All dynamic pressure sensors are tested using the in-house-designed dynamic pressure test rig, which has recently been updated with a high-temperature feature. This new rig will be an important tool in our effort to better understand the interference of heat variation in the pressure reading.

The next step on this journey will be to test different pressure sensors within this setup to gain knowledge of the combinatorial effects between dynamic pressure and heat radiation. Subsequent verifications will be performed during live combustion testing.

How You’ll Make an Impact

The master thesis project is well structured, and you will have a well experienced and competent supervisor. The project plan usually follows the path where you will be responsible for:

• Literature review
• Test rig or software model preparation for testing
• Perform testing
• Analysis of test results
• Apply changes on the test rig/software model, test procedure or analysis to improve the results
• Final report/presentation writing

During the thesis you will acquire improved skills depending on the project chosen:

• Understand the concept of dynamic pressure generation and piezoelectric sensor design (Literature study)
• Perform iterative tests in the newly developed sensor test rig.
• Perform test in the atmospheric combustion rig to verify knowledge from sensor rig testing.
• Develop new analysis methods.
• Being involved in R&D-projects and prototype testing
• Contribute to a good workplace and strengthen us as a team

What You Bring

Your profile should show (depending on project):

• Bachelor or master with technical profile and courses on electronics or software programming
• Labview programming experience
• Knowledge in measurement techniques
• Knowledge in signal analysis methods
• Fluent in Python programming and good knowledge in relevant machine learning packages
• A curious mind

About the Team

You will be a part of a global network of highly skilled professionals. You will be able to let your competence and professional life develop within Siemens Energy’s different initiatives and opportunities. Meet interesting new people while working and developing future energy generation solutions.

The Measurement and Component Testing team is composed of highly experienced and knowledgeable test technology engineers and measurement technology engineers. We are around 20 team members, and we have for labs where we perform prototype design validation. We are part of the R&D department at Siemens Energy AB in Finspång and therefore our test measurements and methods are always evolving to meet new design validation demands and new technology developments. We are responsible for validation of both full engine prototypes as component prototyping.

Our Gas Services division offers Low-emission power generation through service and decarbonization. Zero or low emission power generation and all gas turbines under one roof, steam turbines and generators. Decarbonization opportunities through service offerings, modernization, and digitalization of the fleet.

Who is Siemens Energy?

At Siemens Energy, we are more than just an energy technology company. With ~100,000 dedicated employees in more than 90 countries, we develop the energy systems of the future, ensuring that the growing energy demand of the global community is met reliably and sustainably. The technologies created in our research departments and factories drive the energy transition and provide the base for one sixth of the world's electricity generation.

Our global team is committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We uphold a 150-year legacy of innovation that encourages our search for people who will support our focus on decarbonization, new technologies, and energy transformation.
