Teknik, data och digitalt · Mjukvaru- och webbutveckling · Mjukvaruutveckling · Datavetenskap

I korthet

Master thesis project at Volvo Penta in Göteborg, Sweden, focusing on developing predictive maintenance algorithms for alternators. The project involves data collection, health status determination, and remaining useful life prediction using AI/ML or physics-based models. The thesis is for 30 ECTS points and starts in January 2027.

Ansvarsområden

  • Develop an algorithm and predictive model for alternator health status and remaining useful life (RUL).
  • Collect data from a test rig or create a MATLAB model considering parameters like current, voltage, temperature, duty cycle, rotor speed, load history, and environmental conditions.
  • Create an algorithm to determine the alternator's health status based on collected parameters.
  • Develop a solution to predict RUL and continuously improve prediction accuracy using test data or the MATLAB model.
  • Explore different approaches including data-driven analytics, AI/ML methods, and physics-based models.
