We seek a talented and engaged PhD student willing to be part of a world leading research environment and contribute to the development of solutions that support the stable, reliable and cost-effective design and operation of offshore energy islands.
The Division for Power and Energy Systems of DTU Wind and Energy Systems provides cutting edge research in sustainable, reliable and cost-efficient energy systems to the benefit of society. At DTU Wind and Energy Systems you will enjoy the advantages of a creative and inspiring work environment shared with about 400 highly skilled and motivated colleagues.
The PhD position is part of the Offshore Energy Hubs (OEH) project funded by a grant from EUDP. The PhD will join an international team of industry and academic partners and contribute towards the development of solutions for establishing and operating very large Offshore Energy Hubs. The first Energy Islands which are currently being developed will be the first of their kinds but are envisioned to represent only an initial step towards a future network consisting of several interconnected offshore energy hubs. This “extreme power system” is entirely based on converter-interfaced generation and HVDC transmission technology. Designing and operating such a system with unprecedented characteristics, while ensuring operational stability and resilience of the offshore energy islands and of the power system as a whole, requires the development of new control approaches and methods that address the various challenges with respect to operational stability and fault management of the extreme converter-interfaced, zero/low-inertia, hybrid AC/HVDC electric infrastructure of OEHs.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You will be part of a dynamic working environment with a pleasant team atmosphere where you will have the opportunity to grow and develop your academic, industry, and personal skills. Besides cutting-edge research, PhD students participate in international research projects, collaborate with industry, and are given the opportunity to assist in teaching courses, and co-supervise BSc and MSc students, which allow them to develop necessary skills for the next steps in their career.
As a PhD student, you are expected to carry-out high quality research on the intersection of power systems, power electronics and control systems, from a theoretical/analytical point of view, through simulations and coding.
We are looking for a self-motivated and team-oriented person who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys working with complex topics.
A strong candidate for the position will have a solid background in four or more of the following points:
- Power system dynamics, stability and control
- Modelling and control of multi-terminal VSC-HVDC systems
- Offshore wind power technology
- Programming tools such as Python, Matlab, etc.
- Power system simulation software such as PowerFactory, PSCAD, RSCAD, etc.
You must also possess:
- Excellent command of the English language
- Good ability to present results in oral presentations, and prepare scientific papers for publication in international journals
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
