Job description

Offer DescriptionThe PhD project will be focused on the optimal design and control of the heat-driven cooling system developed in the CharCool project. In particular the main aim of the research activity will be:

• To define all possible configurations for system integration, including techno-economic assessment
• To develop a multi-objective optimization method to size and integrate the storage system
• To develop ad hoc control strategies and control algorithms and a digital twin of the CharCool demonstrator

Dynamic modelling of the system under consideration will be developed by means of open source tools (e.g. Python/Modelica) and optimization frameworks will be created to support the design and control of the innovative cooling system.RequirementsResearch Field Engineering Education Level Master Degree or equivalentLanguages ENGLISH Level GoodAdditional InformationBenefitsWe offer a 4 year contract as PhD student at KU Leuven. The contract can start after October the 1st 2024 (to be agreed). The candidate will attain a KU Leuven PhD degree reflecting skills in modelling, design and validation of new renewable cooling technologies.PhD scholarship:Eligibility criteria
