FlexEnergy Fellowship Opportunity Portsmouth, NH
FlexEnergy will focus in 2011 on improving the value and features of its 250 kW microturbine product line. This will include projects related to qualifying new hardware and systems, improving the reliability and durability of various microturbine configurations, addressing new application requirements, or improving the performance of the microturbine. The UTSR Fellowship intern selected will interface with the gas turbine engineers, production engineers, laboratory technicians, and component vendors in the execution of these projects. Knowledge of gas turbines, either through classroom instruction or research is preferred. Laboratory experience is desired, as it will be necessary for intern to participate hands-on in the laboratory and the production floor.
LocationPortsmouth, New Hampshire, is the worldwide home of the both the technology center and the production facility for FlexEnergy. This is a 56,000 sq. ft. facility comprised of both offices, laboratory test facilities for development and testing of microturbines, and production facilities. Microturbines are built and shipped both nationally and internationally from this location. The site includes a state-of-the-art microturbine test facility capable of running up to 1MW of synchronous generation with the grid. The facility also includes a state-of-the-art fuel mixing facility that enables testing of microturbines with a wide range of gaseous fuel heating values and densities.
