Jobbnorge ID: 121673

The Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, http://www.ntnu.edu/ime at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has vacancies for four 100% positions as Post Doctoral Researchers at Department of Electric Power Engineering http://www.ntnu.edu/elkraft

 

Information about the department

Currently there are 13 professors and 4 associate professors at the department. In addition

there are 6 adjunct associate professors, 4 postdoctoral researchers, approx. 25 active PhD students, and 15 technical/administrative staff. Research activities are organized into two groups; Power Systems and Electric Power apparatus

 

The department has a wide range of teaching responsibilities, ranging from fundamental education in electric power engineering for other engineering students, Master's programs in Energy and Environment, International MSc programs within Electric Power Engineering and Wind Energy, as well as PhD education and continuing education.

 

Information about the positions

The first Post Doc position (for 3 years) is within the topic "Converter interoperability in multiterminal HVDC systems" and is part of the CloudGrid research project. The CloudGrid project connects 5 Smart Grid lab facilities/demonstrators of the consortium partners (NTNU, STRI, Chalmers University, Zurich University of Applied Sciences and Institute of Physical Energetics) to provide recommendations, market design, control strategies and increase inter-lab validation and transnational cooperation.

 

The second Post Doc position (for 3 years) is within the topic "Multi-layer control optimization in complex offshore HVDC grids" and is part of the IDeCON research project. The IDeCON project is developed in the field of offshore energy systems. It will create internationally competitive and highly multidisciplinary competence in the strategic area of design, control and optimization of offshore grids. It is supported by the Norwegian Research Council and external partners such DNV GL, Tecnalia Research and Innovation and the University of Nottingham.

 

The third Post Doc position (for 2 years) is available within "Modelling of Flexible Resources in the Distribution Grid". The project aims at developing novel methods for optimal operation, sizing and placement of flexible resources (such as batteries) in constrained distribution grids, and use the developed methods to evaluate the economics of realistic flexibility options as alternative to grid reinforcements in selected case-study grids.  

 

The fourth Post Doc position (for 2 years) is within "Synchrophasor/PMU Application, Implementation and Data exchange". This is part of a project to develop a control centre platform where PMU-based applications can be implemented and tested in the operational environment at transmission system operators.

 

Work description

Converter interoperability in multiterminal HVDC systems

The first Post Doc Researcher will work on multiterminal HVDC systems offshore, with a particular focus on converter interoperability. Based on selected test cases, the candidate is expected to identify the impact of topological choices in the design and interoperability of power converters for use in HVDC systems for large scale w
