PhD Researcher in Energy Demand Flexibility

7 days ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

At DTU - Technical University of Denmark, we are offering a new PhD position focused on enhancing energy flexibility in buildings through the application and upscaling of advanced data-driven energy management techniques. This project is part of SEEDS , a research and innovation project funded by the European Commission, and a large global expert network under the IEA EBC Annex 96 - Grid Integrated Control of Buildings .

The project aims to identify promising reinforcement learning (RL) and model predictive control (MPC) strategies for application in real-life building management settings. By employing these advanced control techniques, significant savings in operational energy management can be achieved. However, the impact and scalability of these results for the large variety of building stock are unknown.

Responsibilities and Qualifications
  • Develop and apply RL-MPC control strategies for energy demand flexibility in buildings
  • Contribute to the development of a scalable framework for integrating these strategies into building management systems
  • Collaborate with international experts in the field of building energy efficiency and grid-integrated control
  • Publish research results in high-reputation international journals
Requirements
  • Masters degree in a relevant field (e.g., building physics, HVAC system, computer science)
  • Experience in advanced controls (e.g., RL, MPC)
  • Programming knowledge (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB)
  • Fluent English skills, both written and spoken
