Job description

Are you our next PostDoc in exploring AI-driven approach to manage multi-energy flexibility assets and contribute to the acceleration of the on-going energy transition?

As the coordinator of Digital integration of multi-energy flexibility assets in Regional Energy Systems (DigiRES) project under the CETPartnership joint call, TU/e will lead a consortium, involving collaborators from KU Leuven and Chalmers University together with 8 industries partners, focuses on integrating diverse multi-energy flexibility assets across five pilot sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden. By developing and validating innovative AI solutions, we aim to advance sustainable energy transitions in Europe. We look forward to this collaborative effort and its impact on regional energy systems.

Are you eager to get involved into the integrated systems approach of energy transition, to develop and implement optimization strategies to maximize the value and profitability of both industry and end-users? Are you our next Eng.D. trainee? If so, you will enjoy the position very much.

We offer you an attractive and modern workplace with access to the excellent equipment of the TU/e, a varied work, a wide range of training opportunities, and possibilities to access advanced, state-of-the-art technologies, platforms from industrial partners of the DigiRES project.

Job Description

The candidate is expected to conduct research into the development and implementation of the IoE platform for assessing the value and profitability of flexibility services, optimizing multi-carrier energy systems and developing control strategies.

Based on specification of the Internet-of-Energy models, integration of the services will be developed to yield synchronized relevant data and decision-making. It focuses on possible clusters of EMS to realize viable flexibility services by staking possible energy and market values into account. The candidate will implement the developed platform especially in the Dutch pilot, monitor the measurement data and control in real-time. Finally, the candidate needs to design a dashboard to visualize the measurement data, results from the control strategies and calculated KPIs. 

You will contribute to the EU project DigiRES , as a part of the Electrical Energy Systems group at Electrical Engineering dept at TU/e.
