Delft University of Technology is hiring a doctoral candidate on the subject of designing the integrated energy systems. In order to reduce the carbon footprint of our society, the energy system must be redesigned to accommodate sustainable heating solutions and sustainable electrical energy technologies. In this project, you will work on decision support models and tools to guide the decision makers through the redesign process, in particular with the focus on the heating and electricity systems. In this position, you will work as part of a team of three doctoral candidates in a project called 'DEMOSES: Designing and Modeling Systems of Energy Systems. In this project, TU Delft partners with TU Eindhoven, eScienceCenter, TNO and a range of industrial partners. The project is funded by NWO.
Your work will be to develop models and tools for designing heat, electricity and gas grids, focusing on the interdependencies between them and flexibilities that they provide. You will do this by using and improving existing energy models that are provided by the partners and by developing model coupling software to link these models together.
Specifically, your tasks will be:
This four-year doctoral position, with the start in the second half of 2022, will be supervised by dr. Milos Cvetkovic, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science and dr. Laurens de Vries, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management. The PhD will be hosted in the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids section within the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science.
About the department
The research in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy is inspired by the technical, scientific, and societal challenges originating from the transition towards a more sustainable society and focuses on three areas:
- DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCE&S)
- Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD)
- Intelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG)
The Electrical Sustainable Energy Department provides expertise in each of these areas throughout the entire energy system chain. The department owns a large ESP laboratory assembling High Voltage testing, DC Grids testing environment, and a large RTDS that is actively used for real-time simulation of future electrical power systems.
The Intelligent Electrical Power Grid (IEPG) group, headed by Professor Peter Palensky, works on the future of our power system. The goal is to generate, transmit and use electrical energy in a highly reliable, efficient, stable, clean, affordable, and safe way. IEPG integrates new power technologies and smart controls, which interact with other systems and allow for more distributed and variable generation.
