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 on our products.

The operation of a gas turbine is monitored by hundreds of sensors. Over time some parts of the measurement chains get broken, experience disturbances, or are being replaced with slightly different components, etc. These errors, being visible enough, will eventually be found and corrected. If not, they can negatively impact the performance and lifetime of the gas turbine. 

With help of machine learning algorithms these degraded signals could potentially be found at an earlier stage. Having reliable sensor readings is further the enabler of more advanced ML models estimating the gas turbine health.

Many of the sensors in a gas turbine are heavily correlated, especially during specific operation conditions. Mapping these correlations and the changes thereof will give indications if there is a broken sensor or if a process change is taking place.

The scope of this Diploma Thesis is to continue the work of robustness of soft sensors. We are looking for two students, and you will be a part of a larger cooperation in a Vinnova sponsored project.

The project is expected to start in September for a duration of 20 weeks.


How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Understand the measurement system architecture, the ingoing components and previous work.
  • Work on a methodology how to implement develop and maintain soft sensors. (Literature study)
  • To run algorithms on fleet measurement data and analyze the deviations between physical sensors and the soft implementations.
  • Being involved in R&D-projects and prototype testing
  • Contribute to a good workplace and strengthen us as a team.


What You Bring

  • Bachelor or master with technical profile
  • Experienced in machine learning.
  • Knowledge in measurement techniques
  • Curious mind
  • Interested in data reduction.
