• You analyze various check sheets (formulas, macros, data flows), correct errors in Visual Basic code, and increase robustness and user-friendliness (error handling, input validation, performance).
• For selected Pelton bucket designs, you extract parameterized design variables from the 3D model (e.g., angles, thicknesses, radii), document them in a standardized manner, and store them in a central database so that they are available for analysis, comparison, and reuse.
• Through your work, you contribute to current topics that support the energy transition.
