This Admission Scholarship research was done in company with other universities, utilities and industry, and participation in international activities would be expected.
Job description
Admission Scholarship socio-economic and technical evaluation of intelligent energy systems require electrical power system model of the system. Wilmar stochastic optimization model (see here) is designed for modeling electricity markets with high share of fluctuating renewable electricity production. It has been used in several projects such as the international wind integration studies European wind integration (EWIS). Wilmar model has a resolution time per hour, but it is also important to model and analyze up and down within hours of power production regulation and market power related to intra-clock.
Topic of PhD project is to develop a model for intra-hour labor market with a resolution time of 5 minutes that can interact with the Wilmar model. This model should be able to handle the flexible electrical units such as electricity storage, electric vehicles and electric heat pumps. A similar models already in development stage company with energinet.dk TSO in Denmark, and a PhD student will use the existing work on the topic as a starting point. PhD scholarship is funded by and will be part of major new research project started about the electricity needs flexible activation is called iPower.
Qualification
Applicants must have:
master's degree in engineering or similar degree with an academic degree equivalent to a master's degree in engineering
Strong math background
Preferably experience in operations research such as optimization models
Better knowledge of energy systems and technologies
Better knowledge of C # or Java
In the assessment of candidates for consideration will be given to the ability to communicate at all levels in English and value.
We offer
We offer a challenging career with the possibility to play an active role in the development of new programs. Intelligent energy systems are high on the political agenda which is also reflected in the funding and other resources that are enjoyed by the group.
