PhD Position in Offshore Wind Energy System Integration

2 maanden geleden


Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland Eindhoven University of Technology Voltijd
Job Description

This PhD position is part of a larger integrated research program with 6 PhD projects in cooperation between four universities in the Netherlands (RUG, TUD, TU/e and UU), RWE and TNO. The research program is investigating different aspects related to the development of the large-scale offshore wind farm – Oranje Wind – in the North Sea, about 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast.

Research Objectives

The PhD project will focus on developing a method and simulation system for describing, analyzing and optimizing the techno-economic performance of wind parks making use of a wide diversity of flexibility and storage options in the North Sea region as a whole and of the region(s) where the off-shore generation connects to the on-land energy system. Ancillary services provision (inertia, reserves, voltage regulation) from these assets will be important for the technical stability of the (regional) energy system as well as from an economical perspective.

Job Requirements
  • Background and proven interest in power and energy system modelling techniques, programming techniques (e.g. Python) and big data management techniques.
  • Experience with real-time digital simulation of power systems (based on OPAL-RT or RTDS hardware) is a prerequisite.
  • The candidate holds a relevant master degree in e.g. electrical engineering or energy sciences with a natural science basis.
Conditions of Employment
  • Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months.
  • Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
  • High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher.
