Overview
The Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) is seeking a PhD to widen the scientific activities in the program.
The IES program has recently been established at Risø DTU in order to strengthen and focus the research in this field. The programs contribute to research in energy systems with a high degree of stochastic energy, interconnected to other energy systems, architecture, technologies and systems. Modeling of electricity markets, using high level mathematical methods, taking into account the stochastic nature of renewable energy is one of the key elements. The research is carried out in corporation with other universities, utilities and industry, and participation in international activities will be expected.
The test facility SYSLAB is an experimental platform for research verification and demonstration in a real life power grid, able to run in islanding mode. SYSLAB consists of interconnected sites on the Risø DTU Campus with e.g. battery/storage, wind turbines, generators and loads. The integrated PowerFlexHouse serves research of strategies for Demand control and Technology verification. The facilities are currently being extended. SYSLAB is a part of the Danish Consortium PowerLab.dk and projects for close integration between the four labs are under implementation.
The research topics of the program are:
-Develop the architecture of energy systems that supports the link between energy sectors
-Experimental investigation and characterization of the system aspects of future energy technologies and components
- Development of models and tools for techno-economical analyses of energy systems with intelligent control and flexible technologies/components
- Analyses of energy system operation focusing on intelligent control, including analyses of power market design
- Development of control concepts that utilize distributed resources for achieving a robust, flexible and economically integrated energy system
- Utilization of information and communication technologies for establishing an effective infrastructure in the energy system
- Contribute to the development of relevant international standards for control, communication etc, in the energy system
Job description
Flexible and controllable distributed electricity resources (DERs), including generating, consuming and storing units, provides the option to contribute with power system services, necessarily to maintain proper operation of the power system – increasing with the amount of intermittent power generation like wind and solar. The contributions from the individual DER units may be modest, but the aggregated contribution from many DER units can be significant. Voluntary responses to broadcasted dynamic power prices is a simple, but stochastic and indirectly mechanism for control of many units. The PhD study will be part of a newly started project, FlexPower, investing this opportunity.
The specific topic of the PhD is to develop, implement and experimentally evaluate control algorithms based on dynamic power prices for selected components of the Risø DTU experimental power system, SYSLAB, including forecasts of power generations, power consumptions and power prices.
Eligible candidates
The applicants should have:
- Master degree in engineering or natural science or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering
- Preferably knowledge in power system operation
- Preferably experience in experimental work
- Preferably knowledge on energy systems and technologies
- Background in control
- Background in programming
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the
DTU PhD Guide.
Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
Further information
You are welcome to contact Head of Program Anders Troi, +45 4677 5057 +45 4677 5057 .
Application
We must have your online application by 14 June 2010. Please open the “apply online” and fill in the application form and attach your application, CV and information about academic grades.
Material received after this time will not be considered.
All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply
