Project description
The offshore renewable energy sector is driving the green transition globally and becoming one of the largest industries with a great potential for growth in coming years. Nonetheless, managing the intermittency of offshore renewable energy supply due to weather patterns imposes challenges in their grid integration.

This PhD project will model and develop offshore renewable energy systems focusing on offshore wind, microgrids, energy islands, and energy storage systems. The PhD candidate will work on the development of digital twins of offshore renewable energy systems with integrated energy storage, as well as various innovative grid-supporting solutions.The project is offered within the Interreg North Sea programme co-funded by European Union, and involves a close collaboration with industry and other research organizations located in the North Sea Region.

We have an exciting work environment designed by the doctoral student and the research team together. The doctoral student will be supervised by at least two supervisors. The Department of Electrical Engineering also gives a salary supplement in addition to the local guidelines for doctoral students at Uppsala University.

Duties
The PhD student will use numerical simulation tools to carry out research about offshore renewable energy systems, energy storage and their dynamics. The PhD student will need to participate in project meetings and project-related activities. The main duties of a PhD student are to devote themselves to their research studies, which include participation in the research projects and the third cycle courses. A large part of research includes writing the research papers and presentation of research results orally in different forums project group meetings as well as international research conferences. The third cycle courses should comprise 60 credits and the majority of the courses are elective and can be taken during the doctoral time. Other work duties also include educational and administration tasks, for example, giving tutorials or supervising labs / project work. Teaching and other department duties can take up a maximum of 20% of the working time.

Requirements
