  • Model an uncertain power system for the benchmark case study including control layers interactions
  • Develop and assess nonlinear models and advanced controls for renewable power plants in uncertain power systems
Requirements
  • Master's degree in engineering, natural sciences, or a related field
  • Strong educational background in control engineering and power systems
  • Good foundation with robust and optimal control
  • Experience with mathematical modeling
  • Preferable general knowledge on renewable power plants
  • Motivated to specialize in future electrical power systems
  • Experience with technical tools such as Python, Matlab, and Matlab Simulink, Power Factory
What We Offer

We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and experts in the field of renewable energy and power systems. You will also have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment, as well as opportunities for professional development and networking.

We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility. We develop talent by offering national/European and global networking opportunities, unique research infrastructure, and a collaborative research environment.

How to Apply

To apply, please submit your online application no later than 15 October 2024 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. The file must include a letter motivating the application, curriculum vitae, grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma, and a 1-page research statement.

We welcome applications from candidates with a strong interest in analyzing the stability of future power systems and qualitative research experience. The working language of the project is English, and thus the candidate must have suitable skills in both written and spoken English.
