About the Job

DTU Management is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join its Energy Economics and Modelling section. As part of our dynamic community of PhD students, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects that aim to address the challenges of the green transition.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing large-scale integrated energy system models, with a focus on economic analysis of energy infrastructure, PtX, and green fuels. You will apply and further develop the modelling tool, Balmorel, which is built in GAMS.

We are looking for a talented and motivated applicant who wants to gain hands-on experience in energy modelling and analysis, while working alongside a dedicated team that values collaboration and mentorship.

About the Project

The project focuses on the green maritime fuel transition, taking into account risk and uncertainty. You will assess promising green fuel production locations depending on local availability of resources and infrastructures as well as quantify the cost risks via advanced sensitivity and uncertainty assessments.

Categorize options for adaptability in green fuel infrastructures and de-risk investments by considering the quantified key uncertainties and ensure solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and robust.

A main challenge in achieving a cost-efficient energy transition of the maritime sector is to identify where, when, which, and what quantities of green fuels to produce in the future. Furthermore, the future is uncertain, and research identifying the most influential parameters as well as the uncertainty space for green fuels production costs is urgently needed.

In addition, decision-makers need to de-risk future investment, thus future investments need to be adaptable, scalable, and robust.

Requirements

  • A master's degree in engineering or economics with a focus on energy system analysis or similar.
  • Experience with energy system modeling - ideally of large-scale multiple country energy systems, PtX, and renewable fuel production.
  • Strong writing and presentation skills.
  • A willingness and desire to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and teaching.
  • Good programming capabilities in advanced analysis software (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB, Julia, or similar) and mathematical optimization suites (e.g., GAMS, Pyomo, JuMP, or similar).
