PhD Positions in Energy Science
At the Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Energy Systems Engineering (IEK-10) we focus on the development of models and algorithms for simulation and optimization of decentralized, integrated energy systems. Such systems are characterized by high shares of renewable energies and increasing sector coupling, which leads to high spatial and temporal variability of energy supply and demand as well as a high degree of interdependence of material and energy flows. Our research at the IEK-10 aims to provide scalable and faster-than-real-time capable methods and tools that enable the energy-optimal, cost-efficient and safe design and operation of future energy systems.
Institute issuing the offer: IEK-10
Your Job:
In response to the urgent demands posed by climate change in an increasingly global economy and in addition to the goal of reducing dependence on imported energy sources and raw materials, the European energy system is considering a shift from an energy system based on fossil fuels that relies on large power plants, to a dynamic, supply- and demand-driven approach, often organized in local energy communities where renewable energy is the main source.
The envisioned system exhibits a level of complexity related to the coordination of distributed renewable resources connected to the electrical grid and the stochastic behavior of consumption and generations, which introduce a high level of uncertainty. To counteract it, optimization methods that can make accurate predictions by compensating for stochastic effects are needed to achieve the goal of sustainability and maintain the stability of the energy system.
