INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Proposal

1. Internship Proposed:

I am interning at PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia(PT CPI) for the period 23rd Feb 2015 to 11th May
2015.
The topic for my internship is “Hydrogen Strategy Formulation for driving PEM Fuel Cell
Technology Applications”.

2. Description of Internship in brief:

Organisation:

The Reliance Technology Group (RTG), RIL Group’s integrated, central technology organization, helps
create superior value by harnessing internal R&D skills and competencies and by innovating in
emerging technology domains related to RIL’s various businesses. Besides participating in various
collaborative projects in India and overseas, the RTG does research and development work in
cutting-edge technologies, such as fuel cells, carbon fibres, bio-fuels, and gasification of several
types of feedstock, etc.
The RTG also creates business value and competitive advantage for RIL by selecting, buying and
customizing the right technology - at the right cost and at the right time and is geared to meet the
current and future needs of the company through some of the following initiatives:
  Identification of the technology needs of various businesses of the RIL Group and top-level
coordination to ensure seamless technology integration across all businesses and
manufacturing facilities

 Ensuring economies of scale and optimization of selected technologies through a high

performance work culture, and on a real-time basis

 Maximizing value from current assets and creating new growth opportunities through a
process-centric approach

My project:

Reliance Technology Group is currently working on fuel cell technology. Fuel cell systems have long
been considered suitable for remote stationary power applications with a high cost of downtime,
such as mobile base stations. Fuel cell design and manufacturing improvements, combined with
increased volumes being produced, have seen costs decline whilst technical performance, reliability
and longevity has improved.
The fuel cell systems that would be installed in telecoms of Reliance all will convert hydrogen into
electricity at their final stage.
Therefore, Production and transportation of hydrogen and its delivery to the actual point of use in a
cost effective manner is a key component of hydrogen supply chain network. Hydrogen may be
produced at large-scale central locations and then transported to multiple end use destinations.
Alternatively, it can be produced onsite at small-scale decentralized locations closer to the point of
use.

The report describes the development of a strategy for hydrogen production (Central, Distributed or
On-site) and transporting (Road, Rail or Pipelines) it to geographically distributed PEM fuel cells by
analysing the cost associated with the different available production methods and modes of
transporting hydrogen to come out with an optimal hydrogen supply strategy with the help of an
economic model as a viable hydrogen supply chain network requires that hydrogen be able to be
delivered from where it's produced to the point of end-use.
 3. Objective of the internship:

a. To develop a hydrogen strategy for producing and transporting hydrogen to geographically

distributed PEM fuel cells.
b. To have understanding of the on-going project of the organization.
c. To understand the corporate culture.

4. Action Plan:

The action plan that I would be following is as follows:

a. Literature review i.e. Background analysis and Data Collection.

b. Building an economic model.
c. Cost Optimization.
d. Strategy formulation using the cost estimates.
e. Report writing.

5. Schedule:

Task Start Date Duration(Days) End Date

Literature Review and Data Collection 3/16/2015 10 3/27/2015
Building an economic Model 3/30/2015 8 4/8/2015
Cost Optimization 4/9/2015 10 4/22/2015
Strategy formulation using cost estimates 4/23/2015 2 4/24/2015
Report writing 4/27/2015 10 5/8/2015

6. Limitations:
a. Lack of available and/or reliable data.
b. Knowledge for understanding some of the technical concepts. Plan to tackle this limitation is by
taking guidance from the company guide and the colleagues.
7. Remarks:
The work I’ll be carrying out is a part of an on-going R&D project of Reliance Technology Group
(RTG) of Reliance Industries Limited. So, the report made in the end would be a confidential report
and cannot be submitted to the college in its original form. Generic version of the report would be
shared with the college to maintain the secrecy of the confidential data.
