Description:

The Intelligent Energy Systems (IES) is seeking a Researcher to widen the Power activities in SYSLAB.

The IES program has recently been established at Risø DTU in order to strengthen and focus the research in this field. The programs contribute to research in energy systems with a high degree of stochastic energy, interconnected to other energy systems, architecture, technologies and systems. Modeling of electricity markets, using high level mathematical methods, taking into account the stochastic nature of renewable energy is one of the key elements. The research is carried out in corporation with other universities, utilities and industry, and participation in international activities will be expected.

The test facility SYSLAB is an experimental platform for research verification and demonstration in a real life power grid, able to run in islanding mode. SYSLAB consists of interconnected sites on the Risø DTU Campus with e.g. battery/storage, wind turbines, generators and loads. The integrated PowerFlexHouse serves research of strategies for Demand control and Technology verification. The facilities are currently being extended. SYSLAB is a part of the Danish Consortium PowerLab.dk and projects for close integration between the four labs are under implementation.

The research topics of the program are:

Develop the architecture of energy systems that supports the link between energy sectors
Experimental investigation and characterization of the system aspects of future energy technologies and components
Development of models and tools for techno-economical analyses of energy systems with intelligent control and flexible technologies/components
Analyses of energy system operation focusing on intelligent control, including analyses of power market design
Development of control concepts that utilize distributed resources for achieving a robust, flexible and economically integrated energy system
Utilization of information and communication technologies for establishing an effective infrastructure in the energy system
Contribute to the development of relevant international standards for control, communication etc, in the energy system
Job description
The Postdoc/Researcher will work in the area development of simulation models for power systems with RE and DER, control methods for flexible demand incl. Electrical Vehicles, power system operation and control incl. optimisation, performance verification methods of aggregated DER behaviour and modelling of DER components.

Job Profile
