Posted 5d ago
Apply by Aug 23
~40 hrs/week
Responsibilities
The candidate will develop and validate RMS and EMT simulation models for hybrid power plants combining wind, solar, and battery storage. Responsibilities also include participating in experimental testing at the Risø HPP facility and disseminating research findings through academic publications.
Requirements
Applicants must hold an MSc degree in power systems engineering or a related field with a strong understanding of power converter technology. Proficiency in simulation tools such as PSCAD and PowerFactory is required, along with knowledge of relevant IEC standards.
Full job description
If you have competencies in electrical power engineering and in modelling of power converter technologies and you would like to use those competencies for modelling of converter based units like wind turbines, solar PV systems and batteries in power systems, this PhD position is an opportunity for you.
The PhD will be performed in a university environment including an experimental research facility and industrial collaboration.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The driving purpose of this PhD is to develop and validate simulation models for grid connection of renewable Hybrid Power Plants (HPPs) combining wind turbines, PV systems and storage. DTUs experimental facility Risø HPP will be chosen as the scope of the modelling, and tests performed in Risø HPP will be used for validation of the simulation models in a real environment combining wind turbines, PV systems and battery storage. Grid operators request properly validated simulation models for converter based plants in order to permit grid connection for the plants.
You will work with a university team of academic researchers, engineers and technicians who will supervise your research and ensure that you will have access to test results from a real HPP environment.
Your primary tasks will be to
Complete courses according to your study plan
Develop RMS and EMT time series simulation models for Risø HPP in PowerFactory and PSCAD
Participate in planning of tests in Risø HPP to provide real test results for the validation of the RMS and EMT models
Develop, analyse and validate frequency domain models for Risø HPP
Specify and apply methods for validation of simulation models based on tests in real environment
Share your research results in meetings with DTU and external supervisors and project steering meetings
Disseminate your research in conference and journal papers
Co-supervise BEng, BSc and MSc students final projects
Teaching assistance in relevant courses
Guidance for visits to Risø HPP
You should possess the following key competencies
MSc level in power systems engineering or similar
Understanding of power converter technology and control
Experience with EMT simulations of converter based units, preferably in PSCAD
Experience with RMS simulations of converter based units, preferably in PowerFactory
Experience with frequency domain analysis including Fourier transformation
Awareness of IEC 61400-21 test standards and IEC 61400-27 modelling standards
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education.
Assessment
The assessment of the applicants will be made by supervisors Prof. Poul Sørensen and Associate Professor Kaushik Das, and hiring manager Head of Section Gregor Giebel.
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.
If you are applying from abroad, you may find useful information on working in Denmark and at DTU at DTU – Moving to Denmark. Furthermore, you have the option of joining our monthly free seminar “PhD relocation to Denmark and startup “Zoom” seminar” for all questions regarding the practical matters of moving to Denmark and working as a PhD at DTU.
Application procedure
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 23 August 2026 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply now", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The file must include:
A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
