About this role
The opportunity
Are you passionate about thermal engineering, simulation, and sustainable energy solutions? In this master's thesis, you will contribute to the development of next-generation dry-type transformer enclosures used in critical indoor and outdoor applications. Working closely with experienced engineers, you will investigate heat transfer, airflow management, and enclosure design using advanced CFD simulation methods. You will gain hands-on experience in solving real industrial challenges while developing expertise in thermal optimization, product development, and engineering analysis. This is a unique opportunity to combine academic research with practical application and make a meaningful contribution to future transformer technologies. The title of the thesis will be: Thermal Optimization of Dry-Type Transformer Enclosures Using CFD: Design of IP55 and NEMA 3R Solutions under AN/AF Cooling.
