PhD on Synthetical data generation using multivariate models

1 maand geleden

Eindhoven, Nederland Eindhoven University of Technology Voltijd

Job Description

The project focuses on synthetical data generation, AI-driven state estimation, stochastic modelling and reliability assessment, and grid-edge optimal solutions. These models will be combined with the AI-driven state estimations to enhance network observability and grid monitoring. Additionally, integration with the stochastic modelling and reliability assessment process will provide valuable insights into the impact of uncertainties on grid reliability. Finally, in conjunction with the developed edge intelligence, these advancements will enable optimal solutions for the electricity grids in the Netherlands and e.g. the rest of Europe, while maintaining user privacy.

The research results will be immediately utilized by Alliander for congestion estimation and flexibility procurement. To achieve this, it is part of this project that all the developed (AI-driven) models and algorithms are also implemented in production-ready open-source packages.

One of the four main research tracks (RTs) of AISO is as follows:

RT1: PhD on Synthetical data generation using multivariate models

This research will focus on a scalable approach by using multivariate models to capture uncertainties in spatial-temporal correlations. It is expected to combine both top-down and bottom-up approaches into a scalable and stable solution. More specifically, the research will include:

Requirement specifications for both real-time state estimation and long-term power flow analysis Design algorithms which combine the aggregated data and anonymized individual data Validation of the developed algorithms in the simulation environment with grid use-case scenarios Integrate and validate solutions in the virtual grid environment.

See for the other 3 reseach tracks below:

PhD2 / RT2: AI-driven state estimation and prediction
PhD3 / RT3: Stochastic modelling and reliability assessment.
PhD4 / RT4: Grid-edge optimal solutions.

Job requirements

A MSc degree related to modeling and analysis of power systems and distributed energy resources. Having a good understanding of distribution grid planning and operation. Experience in data-driven modeling, probabilities, stochastic optimization solutions is an advantage. Skills in scientific programming and/or numerical computing in languages like Python, Julia, or MATLAB are advantages. Excellent modeling skills in simulation tools such as PowerFactory or other equivalent open-source power system packages. Having experience in connecting such simulation tools with the programming environment of MATLAB and/or Python is an advantage.
