Job description

• Doctoral research on modelling and optimisation of high-power Solid-State Transformers (SSTs), focusing on Medium-Frequency Transformers (MFTs).
• Investigation of high-frequency and high-voltage MFTs for PV systems and medium-voltage grids.
• Integration of battery storage systems and control of dynamic power flow between batteries and the grid.
• Development of multiphysics models for losses, temperature, cooling, resonances and electrical insulation.
• Optimisation of core, windings and cooling for improved efficiency, power density and power transfer.
• Development and optimisation of SST systems and power electronic converters.
• Integration of models into computationally efficient optimisation procedures and collaboration with other Doctoral Position.
• Design, construction and experimental validation of MFT prototypes and converter systems.

Profile

• A diploma/M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering with excellent grades.
• Fundamental knowledge of power electronic converter systems.
• Good communication skills.
• Fluency in English.
• The willingness to fully commit yourself as part of an international team.
• In addition, you should be interested in the detailed modelling and design of magnetic components and the optimisation of power electronic systems.
