Postdoc in experimental validation and control of hybrid power plants - DTU Wind

Job description

DTU Department of Wind and Energy Systems inaugurated Risø HPP in October 2024. Risø HPP is a Hybrid Power Plant facility based on two 225kW wind turbines, two 185kW PV systems and a 1155kWh / 250kW battery system. The facility is located on DTU’s Risø campus. We are right now working with TotalEnergies from France to purchase a 1000kVA controllable grid interface (CGI) which will enable us to test Risø HPP when it is connected to different electrical power grids, which we will emulate with the CGI. We are looking for a Postdoc who will be engaged in experimental research and model validation, focusing on models for the grid connection of the HPP. So far, we are working on RMS, EMT and frequency domain (harmonics) types of models. The candidate is expected to have experience with RMS and EMT modelling of converter-based energy resources and with experimental hardware in the loop (HIL) systems.: Responsibilities and qualifications The main purpose of the post-doc position is to strengthen the experimental validation of our hybrid power plant research and to integrate this new experimental opportunity in our research and teaching activities. The postdoc will work with the following t...
