Postdoc On Modelling Renewable Energy Communities
6 dagen geleden
In the context of the European project RENvolveIT, the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development is looking for a postdoctoral researcher for a fully funded three-years position. You will work with Dr Luis Ramirez Camargo of the Energy & Resources group and with other project partners at institutions in Austria, Germany and Czech Republic.
**Your job**:
Mitigating climate change requires both citizen involvement and energy democratisation, which are key to the European Green Deal. Community efforts have a strong multiplicative potential which is amplified when a wide range of (non-expert) stakeholders are involved. They foster the installation of more renewable energy capacities, actively reduce the stress on the regional grid and optimise overall resource usage.
In the framework of the project RENvolveIT (Regional Energy Networking - cross-sectional involvement through a modular interactive toolbox), we aim to achieve these positive effects by focusing on energy communities as a leveraging strategy to facilitate regional energy transition. RENvolveIT is a transdisciplinary international project with partners in Austria, Germany, Czech Republic and The Netherlands. In this project, we will develop a user-friendly platform that will aid households, municipalities, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in navigating the complex renewable energy processes, offering networking, project guidance, participation, and energy planning tools. Demonstrator regions across Europe are the focus of the project, aiming to overcome challenges and foster cross-region synergies while prioritising the inclusion of communities.
The tasks for this position are as follows:
- You develop and implement spatiotemporal models for estimating energy demand for heating and cooling of buildings as a tool for high level planning of energy communities. The tool is expected to be mainly programmed in python and made available open source.
- You create an API of the developed tool that allows interoperability with other tools developed in the framework of the project.
- You contribute to the further development of enerplanet - A framework for regional smart energy planning using volunteered geographic information.
- You work in close collaboration with another postdoc in the project and two local energy communities to develop the Dutch case studies in the project.
- You work in close cooperation with RENvolveIT consortium members to implement and test the tools developed in the project in case studies in each one of the project countries.
- You disseminate project results and propose exploitation strategies for the developed tool(s).
While the tasks in RENvolveIT have to be completed as they are proposed, there is flexibility to place focus and emphasis on your own research interests and strengths. We aim to provide you with the conditions and support to advance in your academic and/or professional career.
This research is funded by the Clean Energy transition (CET) partnership. Resources are secured for the participation in multiple international conference and interaction on site with stakeholders in the Netherlands, Austria, Germany and Czech Republic.
**Your qualities**:
- has proven experience in programming (preferably python);
- has experience with methods and models to calculate energy performance of buildings such as the described in e.g. the ISO 13790:2008 or the ISO 52016-1:2017;
- has developed APIs and is familiar with the development of tools for planning or visualization purposes in the form of e.g. a QGIS plug-ins, webpage or online dashboards;
- has knowledge and interest in the energy transition. Having detailed knowledge and/or experience related to modelling, planning or implementing energy communities is a plus;
- has understanding and/or experience concerning the utilization of renewable energy technologies for energy supply in urban areas;
- has understanding and/or experience in the development or utilisation of optimisation models for energy systems;
- is able to work in an interdisciplinary team spread across Europe;
- has an excellent English proficiency (C1). Language proficiency in Dutch, German and/or Czech is also an asset.
**Our offer**:
We offer:
- a position for 36 months with the prospect of a permanent employment contract after a positive evaluation;
- a gross monthly salary between €3,345 and €5,278 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale 10 under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT prod
