Sommerjobb at ECO STOR AS

Hello there, interested in “sommerjobb” in a startup reusing electric car batteries for renewable energy storage?

At ECO STOR AS in Oslo we do this, and we could need some help this summer from 2 -4 students. We are also looking for students interested in part time working from remote.

We have some interesting tasks suited we think could be well suited for “sommerjobb”:

Energy storage investment decision tool?

We have a 3rd party tool to for this, but we consider developing an inhouse tool. The tool can be an excel spread sheet, Phyton script or something else.

The tool can use input from Nord Pool energy spot price and a typical consumer energy consumption and calculate profitability if using the battery to buy electric energy when cost is low and sell energy when cost is high.

Also, income from other services like utilizing the battery to reduce peak 1 hour energy consumption and frequency services could be interesting to include in the tool.

Energy Management System?

This task is similar to the Energy storage investment decision tool, but in this task, the functions are written in Phyton and will run on our Energy Management System microprocessor. EMS sends charge and discharge commands to the battery inverters providing the real power to/from the grid.

We will help you with setting up the real battery storage test system and downloading your EMS functions into the EMS microprocessor and test its performance in our test lab.

Microcontrollers?

If you know anything about microcontrollers, we have several functions to be implemented in our new microcontroller-based Battery Interface Unit. Typically implementation in Phyton and C/C++

Fleet management and visualization –WEB design?

We have a small fleet of energy storage systems already delivered and we have a 3rd party web-based tool for visualization and access. The existing tool is not very advanced, and we are interested in developing an inhouse Web based tool for visualization of a few key parameters as battery state if charge, in operation, warning, fault, etc.

Søknad sendes på mail til helge.kolstad@eco-stor.no. Skriv litt om hvilke av de nevnte områdene som interesserer deg mest og legg ved en cv.
