PhD Position in Flexible Integration of Electrolyzers and Power-to-X Technologies into Smart Energy Systems
1 month ago
The Center for Life Cycle Engineering at the Department of Green Technology, University of Southern Denmark, invites applications for a 3-year PhD position in dynamic performance of electrolyzers and power-to-X technologies and their role in smart energy systems. This position is available from 1 January 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The application deadline is 30 June 2024 at 11.59 PM / CET/CEST)
About the project
Flexibility is key to tackling the variability of renewable energy sources and a flexible electricity demand-side process can potentially reduce fuel production cost. Besides, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of power-to-X technologies highly depend on the type of electrolysis technology and electrolyzer operating hours on the site. As demonstrated, flexibility in the electrolysis technology is crucial to integrate the massive fluctuating renewable capacities necessary to meet climate goals cost-effectively. This project compares the dynamic performance of different types of electrolyzers in a power-to-X system under the framework of high installed wind and solar power capacities that we will have in Denmark in the near future, and assuming the other varying background conditions, i.e. the hour-by-hour electricity price variations, seasonal variation of CO2 availability, seasonal and daily variation of district heating demand, 24-hour variations in electricity grid capacity at electrolyzer location and potential seasonal variations in heat supply from waste incineration at electrolyzer locations.
About the candidate (Qualifications)
We are seeking a candidate with a master's degree or its equivalent in Mechanical or Energy Engineering or a related field, who possesses a curious mindset and is highly motivated to pursue a PhD in the field of power-to-X. The ideal candidate should demonstrate a good understanding of energy system modeling, role of power-to-X in decarbonized energy systems, sector-coupling and holistic optimization of smart energy systems, where various sectors are interconnected. Fluency in both spoken and written English is imperative for this position. Responsibilities of the successful PhD candidate are as follows:
Complete PhD courses (30 ECTS).
Write scientific articles aimed at high-impact journals in the field.
Participate in an environmental exchange (research stay at an institution abroad).
Teaching and knowledge dissemination activities.
Write and defend a PhD thesis on your project.
About the team
The PhD fellow will work in the SDU Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) center at the Department of Green Technology. The main supervisor will be Professor Henrik Wenzel and co-supervision will be provided from Assistant Professor Hossein Nami.
SDU Life Cycle Engineering
The successful candidates will be affiliated with the SDU Life Cycle Engineering. The Department of Green Technology is located in Odense, the main campus of the University of Southern Denmark. Odense is a fast-growing international community with an open Scandinavian culture, affordable housing and living costs. Further information about this position is available from Assistant Professor Hossein Nami
