Deadline: 1st October 2012
The Department of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) invites applications for a PhD position in Real-time Voltage Stability Assessment based on Wide Area Measurements.
In relation to our research project, “Secure Operation of Sustainable Power Systems” (SOSPO), we offer five PhD positions and two PostDoc positions.
This project focuses on a critical, difficult and not yet treated problem regarding how to ensure secure operation of future sustainable power systems with very high percentage of wind and solar energy. The research focuses on methods that enable system stability and security assessment in real-time and on methods to automatically determine control actions that regain system security when an insecure state of operation has been detected.
Proficiency in spoken and written English is mandatory and should preferably be documented in your application by including a certified TOFL test certificate.
In the future sustainable power system, where a large share of power production is based on uncontrollable renewable energy sources, the system operating conditions may change very rapidly due to fluctuation in the power production. The traditional and computational intensive off-line approaches for system assessment will no longer be sufficient to ensure a stable and secure operation of such systems. Hence, there is a need for methods, which allow fast evaluation of the power system stability and security.
