At ABB, we help industries outrun - leaner and cleaner. Here, progress is an expectation - for you, your team, and the world. As a global market leader, we'll give you what you need to make it happen. It won't always be easy, growing takes grit. But at ABB, you'll never run alone. Run what runs the world.This Position reports to:R&D Team Lead In industry there are many possibilities to optimize process load with respect to electricity cost. This thesis work will focus on one such application, viz. mine dewatering. Generally, some kind of buffer is needed to act as "energy storage". The objective here is to validate possible savings for a longer period based on a realistic scenario (buffer sizes, electricity cost,…).A previous MSc thesis at ABB Corporate Research has studied optimization of mine dewatering. A large underground mine typically has multiple pumping stations, with a water reservoir at each level (see figure). The water reservoirs can be utilized to re-schedule pumping to time intervals when electricity prices are lower, and thus reduce the cost of electricity.The previously developed methods need to be improved and tested using real data and actual electricity prices for longer time period (> 6 months). We are also working on connecting in real-time such optimizations with the game engine Unity 3D for visualization.Details:Period: January/February – June/July months)Number of credits: 30 ECTSNumber of students for this thesis work: 1Location: On-site at ABB Corporate Research in VästeråsYour role and responsibilities Research questions:Quantify the cost saving benefit of optimized water pumpingVerify accuracy of simpler methods to predict optimization potentialApproach:Calibrate the simulation model with real data from a Swedish mineVerify cost saving potential for longer time period (min 6 months) based on hourly and 15 minute energy market trading periodsDerive a non-optimization based approach to predict savingsEvaluate prediction method against rigorous optimizations Qualifications for the role Drive and interest in working with real-world use casesBackground in control engineering, computer science, embedded systems, or a related field Knowledge on mathematical modelling and optimizationExperience with programming in MATLAB/SimulinkGood spoken and written EnglishSelf-driven and solution-oriented mindsetGood soft skills and a collaborative spiritMore about us Supervisor Alf Isaksson, , will answer all your questions about the thesis topic and expectations.
