PhD position (f/m/d) in the field of control of integrated energy systems

As part of the international team of the "Networked Multi-Energy Systems" research group, you play an active role in shaping the energy transition. You develop physics-, data- and learning-based methods to operate the sustainable energy systems of tomorrow in a coupled, efficient and safe manner

Your research focuses on:

• Modeling of sector-coupled energy systems (electricity, gas, district heating)
• Development of innovative methods that enable the optimal, techno-economic operation of sector-coupled energy systems (i.e. a fusion of market mechanisms and technical operation)
• Demonstration and validation of your methods in realistic simulation studies (Matlab/Simulink, Modelica)
• Participation in research-oriented teaching as well as in publicly funded and industrial projects

Persönliche Qualifikation

• Very good, completed Master's degree (electrical engineering, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, power engineering or similar) with a focus on automation technology, control engineering, and optimization
• Previous knowledge in the field of energy systems is advantageous, but not necessary
• Independent working style and a strong interest in advancing your own research topics
• Business fluent level (B2) in English

Salary category 13 TV-L, depending on the fulfillment of professional and personal requirements
