Challenge. Change. ImpactFaculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.

PhD Position Modeling and Simulation of Local Energy Communities - Delft, Nederland - Delft University of Technology
Beschrijving
Join us and start your carrier as a researcher and scientist in the field of power and energy systems. Develop models for local energy communities and speed up energy transition at local scale.
Job description
Delft University of Technology is hiring a doctoral candidate on the subject of "Modeling and Simulation of Local Energy Communities". In order to reduce the carbon footprint of our society, the energy systems must develop on the local scale. To create and operate local energy systems we first need to understand them, by modeling and simulating them. The role of this PhD is to develop models and algorithms for local energy commuities and deploy them in a real-world scenario. The main scientific challenge lies in modelling the system with various stakeholders (companies, governments, citizens) and with imperfect and partial information about the community.
This positions is a part of the REFORMERS Horizon EU project. The PhD will collaborate with partners from across EU and the Netherlands. The PhD will be required to occasionally travel within the Netherlands, and to the consortium project meetings across EU. Additionally, the PhD will contribute and lead several deliverables in this EU project.
In a nutshell, your work will be to develop novel models and algorithms for local energy communities. This includes models of energy demand within residential and commercial sectors, models of renewable energy sources, models of energy networks including electricity, heat and gas. On the algorithms side, the management algorithms that advice operation of the local energy community will be the central focus. There is a strong preference to publish models and algorithms as open source. The PhD will also be in charge of validating and testing the developed solutions.
We are looking for a candidate with strong algorithmic and computer science background and exceptional system thinking. The knowledge and experience in the energy field is highly desirable. The affinity with modeling and modeling formalisms (such as optimization modeling, simulation modeling, agent-based modeling) is desirable.
We are looking for candidates who can start as soon as possible, although there is some flexibility in the starting date for the suitable candidate. The candidates will be screened as the applications arrive until the position is filled or the posting has expired.
