Offer Description
Mälardalens universitet (MDU) är Sveriges nyaste universitet. Med vår vision, att vara ett progressivt och samverkande universitet där vi tillsammans formar en hållbar framtid, vill vi göra verklig skillnad.
Vill du vara med och bidra till vår utveckling?
Tillsammans bidrar vi till en mer hållbar framtid genom kunskap och innovation. Vi anser att ny kunskap och nya perspektiv bäst skapas och uppnås i samverkan med andra - kollegor, studenter, näringsliv och offentlig sektor såväl nationellt som internationellt.
På akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik läser våra studenter till bland annat högskole- och civilingenjörer, statsvetare och ekonomer. Hos oss finns forskningsinriktningarna industriell ekonomi och organisation och framtidens energi. Vårt arbete sker i samverkan och i strategiska avtal med företag, organisationer och myndigheter i regionen.
Employment information
Employment: Tidsbegränsad anställning
Scope: Heltid
Number of positions: 1
Closing date for application: 2024-04-30
Campus location: Västerås
School: Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik (EST)
Position description
The purpose of the position is to give the employee an early opportunity to develop his or her independence as a researcher and to create the conditions for further acquisitions of qualifications after completing the doctoral degree.The position is part of efforts to underpin the future supply of skills.
Applications should aim at internationally leading and scientifically excellent research at MDU that directly or indirectly addresses renewable energy system analysis where electricity storage in batteries is an important part. To determine the state of health (SoH) and thereby the value to be used for second life applications as well as for continuous monitoring of state of charge (SoC) and evaluation of degradation, AI-models are developed from both experimental battery test data and by information from literature to model battery packs performance. Concerning the energy system analysis production of solar cell power, wind power, CHP from biomass and hydro power is considered where balancing production to consumption is made on an hourly basis. The demand for storage of electric power is determined. Here also V2G and G2V is considered as well as stationary battery packs.
To make this possible computer- and software-controlled systems are used. These can adapt to changing conditions and make decisions based on their inputs. Smart systems can incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies to enable them to learn, reason, and make decisions autonomously. The system will also be made as a simulator which can be used to test different scenarios.
Teaching may be included with a maximum of 20%.
Qualifications requirements
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in energy engineering including energy system modelling
The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period. You have not previously held a position as a postdoctoral researcher in the same or related subject area at MDU that exceeds one year.
The applicant should have knowledge about batteries and renewable energy systems with PV, wind, biomass and hydropower as well as use of energy.
Experience in renewable energy systems modelling and investigations as well as in use of batteries as storage in such systems is of special interest in the evaluation.
Assesment criteria
Experience in renewable energy systems modelling and investigations. Knowledge about use of batteries as storage in such systems is of special interest in the evaluation.
In an overall assessment of suitability, emphasis is also placed on personal abilities. All employees at MDU are expected to cooperate and treat colleagues and students with respect, take responsibility for the organisation and their own work duties and contribute to a positive work environment.
A postdoctoral researcher should be able to work independently within the framework of the specified tasks. This includes conducting simulations of systems, interpreting them, and participating in the evaluation of experimental battery tests to generate data used in the modeling and simulations of sustainable energy systems.
We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.
