PhD Position Predictive Prognostics and Adaptive Load Control: An Integrated Approach to Wind Turbine Blade Longevity and Efficiency Optimisation.-
Job description
- Developing an interpretable prognostic model along with an uncertainty management strategy to estimate the conditional reliability and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of wind turbine blades, considering historical data, expert knowledge, environmental conditions, and operational stress.
- Designing a self-learning control algorithm that adjusts blade loading in real-time based on the predicted RUL, conditional reliability, and current health state to optimize energy output and reduce maintenance requirements.
- Experimentally validating the developed control algorithm, measuring real-time energy output adaptations to optimize cost functions.

**Requirements**:
Applicant Requirements:

- Programming Skills: Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, or R.
- Teamwork and Responsibility: Ability to work effectively within a project team and take responsibility for your own research objectives.
- Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills in English, both written and oral.

Eligibility Criteria:

- You must not have been awarded a PhD. Applicants who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but have not yet formally received the doctoral degree are not eligible.
- You must not have resided or carried out your main activity in the Netherlands for more than 12 months within the last 3 years.
