Job Description

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at TU Delft is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to work on a project focused on improving emergency load control and shedding schemes for critical frequency conditions in low-inertia power systems.

The project aims to develop novel and advanced load control and shedding algorithms that can operate rapidly and effectively in low-inertia power systems and scenarios, contributing to arresting frequency deviations and ensuring system integrity and stability.

The PhD researcher will be part of the Intelligent Electrical Power Grid (IEPG) group, which works on the future of our power system, aiming to generate, transmit, and use electrical energy in a highly reliable, efficient, stable, clean, affordable, and safe way.

Requirements
  • An MSc degree in a field with a strong emphasis on computer science, modelling, and algorithms.
  • Knowledge of the energy field is desirable.
  • Affinity with programming.
  • Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent English skills.
Conditions of Employment

The PhD candidate will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1.5-year contract with an official go/no-go progress assessment within 15 months, followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from €2872 per month in the first year to €3670 in the fourth year.

The TU Delft offers a customizable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
