PhD Position in Wind Energy Research: Classification, Modelling and Parameterisation of Tall Wind Profiles

2 maanden geleden


Delft, Zuid-Holland, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd
Job Overview

The energy transition is driving a significant expansion of wind energy, requiring a substantial increase in installed capacity. This PhD project is part of the NEXTgenT MSCA Doctoral Networks, aiming to train the next generation of engineers to design over 25MW offshore wind turbine rotor systems. The project will investigate the use of profile clustering and numerical modelling to provide accurate wind speed profiles up to 500m, using parameters that can be inferred from observations or reanalyses.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a robust wind speed profile model based on a small number of key variables
  • Cluster wind profiles into a small number of key classes
  • Assess the dependency of tall profiles on different parameters using numerical modelling
Requirements

To be eligible for this PhD position, you should have an MSc degree in wind energy or a related field, with proven experience in wind engineering. You should also have good mathematical and analytical skills, as well as a strong interest in numerical modelling and data analysis. Experience with numerical fluid dynamics and knowledge of data-driven techniques is desirable.

Eligibility Criteria

The European Commission's Horizon MSCA Doctoral Networks Programme dictates the eligibility criteria. You must not have resided or carried out your main activity in the country of your first host institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before your recruitment. You must also have a master's degree relevant to the chosen position or its equivalent, awarded before the start of the position.

Working at TU Delft

As a PhD candidate at TU Delft, you will be part of a dynamic and international community. You will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts, both from academia and industry, and to contribute to the development of innovative solutions in wind energy research. You will also have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, as well as a comprehensive benefits package.
