Internship in the decarbonization projects for urban districts and industrial parks

 

From march to august 2021, my DAAD scholarship consisted of an internship in a German enterprise, where I had the fortune to take part in one of the largest companies not only in Germany but also worldwide. It was SIEMENS AG. From my expertise, working with Homer Energy Pro, the objective of the internship was to carry out a complete analysis of the software tools used for designing, simulating, and optimizing energy systems. The methodology was firstly based on a literature research of software tools that simulate and optimize distributed energy systems. The findings were classified in to three main groups and then they were deeply analyzed having interaction either with the tool or with their repositories. In the results section, the most versatile tools were expose and finally, in the section of conclusions, I summarize my work at SIEMENS. Furthermore, I suggest some future projects that might be interesting to develop at ITM.
