PhD position in Co-simulation tools for Integrated Energy Systems
Eindhoven University of Technology
Job descriptionEindhoven University of Technology (TU/e, ) is one of Europe’s top technological universities, situated at the heart of a most innovative high-tech region, with a wealth of collaborations with industry and academic institutes. In 2017, TU/e was ranked 15th in Europe in the Times Higher Educational World University ranking for Engineering and Technology. TU/e has around 3,000 employees and 2,300 PhD students (half of which international, representing about 70 nationalities).Research Programme DescriptionThe envisioned research is part of the research program Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) performed within the Electrical Energy Systems (EES) group of TU/e. Within the IES program, research is conducted into operation and planning of future sustainable energy systems, with an emphasis on electricity systems, markets and systems integration. This research is performed in two research labs: the Digital power and energy systems lab (EES DigiPES lab) and the Electricity markets and power system optimization lab (EES EMPDO lab). The former focuses on intelligent energy network research, including: demand management and flexibility, digital twinning, data analytics, smart grid ICT architectures and systems integration in multi energy systems. The latter specializes in electricity market design (centralized & decentralized), market products & system services to integrate new technologies, forecasting, market participation strategies and risk management, large-scale, distributed, multi-objective optimization techniques applied to energy markets and power systems and AI for optimization and control in power and energy systems. The EES group has strong ties with industry both nationally and internationally, with several part-time industry researchers working in the group and a large group of strategic collaboration partners.Recently, the Electrical Energy Systems group received grants for nationally-funded projects in Intelligent Electricity Systems. Therefore, this group currently has multiple vacancies in this field. We are currently looking for researchers with strong computer science, modelling & simulation, and research software development skills that want to develop cutting-edge knowledge and software for the energy transition.. The focus of the work will be on the application of intelligent software approaches (distributed control systems, distributed optimization, market mechanisms, multi-scale modelling, etc.), in electrical power systems (energy system flexibility coordination, local energy markets, capacity & congestion management, etc.).PhD position: Development of Co-simulation tools for decision making in Heat end Electricity Systems of positive energy districts.The need to address climate change and digitalisation has triggered a revolution in the energy sector by bringing both new challenges and technological solutions. One of the main effects of this revolution has been the growth in the use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES).
Given the volatility of the RES’ supply, energy systems are facing a growing demand for flexibility. Among the multiple mechanisms being considered to satisfy that growing demand, one receiving a growing interest is sector coupling. In this mechanism, flexibility is obtained as the result of coupling the different energy networks into one single energy system. Traditionally, evaluation, planning and operations of energy networks was undertaken with limited consideration of what happened in other networks. However, the EU is considering/introducing requirements for the integration of the operations of different energy networks as sector coupling allows for a more efficient use of the energy networks as SOs can use alternative energy networks as sources of flexibility.
To ensure full benefits of sector coupling, the focus of this project will be to identify and quantify the flexibility that can arise from sector coupling. More concretely, this project aims to develop an integrated approach that addresses the challenges posed by future power systems through the coupling of sectors through optimized operation strategies. The main objectives for this PhD plan are defined as follows:
These goals are achieved through the implementation of a comprehensive analysis on the status of the future energy systems following the steps described below:
