Denmark : Two PhD scholarships on Future Renewable Energy System Studies The Centre for Electric Power and Energy, Department of Electrical Engineering, invites applications for two PhD positions on future energy system studies. The PhD projects are part of the Danish ForskEL project Application of Synchronous Condensers in Low Inertia Systems, grant no. 12196, funded by PSO (Public Service Obligation). Responsibilities and tasks The PhD projects will assess the impact of the future generation mix on inertia and short circuit power, and evaluate the system performance under disturbances. Possibilities of applying synchronous condensers will be investigated. The research will be carried out using the real time digital simulator (RTDS) at PowerlabDK as a primary tool for simulation and testing. The PhD projects are in close collaboration with Siemens and the Danish transmission system operator Energinet.dk. Qualifications Candidates should have a MSc in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the MSc in engineering. Approval and Enrolment PhD scholarships are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general PhD programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Guangya Yang, Associate Professor Arne Hejde Nielsen and Project Manager Martin Sjøberg, Siemens.
