hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 2 billion per year. We currently have 1,500 employees and 17,900 students.
In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.Luleå University of Technology (LTU) and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) announce the joint recruitment of a single PhD student position in electric power engineering.
About the University | Luleå tekniska universitet
Electrical Power Engineering We have a close collaboration with industries and authorities in both research projects and student projects. The research is of high international standard, and we collaborate with researchers worldwide. In the area of power quality, the subject has a good reputation for its world-leading research.Electric Power Engineering | Luleå tekniska universitet
VTI
The Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) is an independent and internationally prominent research institute in the transport sector. Our operations cover all modes of transport, and the subjects of pavement technology, infrastructure maintenance, vehicle technology, traffic safety, traffic analysis, users of the transport system, the environment, the planning and decision-making processes, transport economics and the interdependencies of the transport and energy systems.

Subject description
Electric power engineering covers the study of the system for production, transport and consumption of electrical energy. This includes the interaction between the power grid, electricity production, and electricity consumption.
Project description
The project will link electric vehicle (EV) charging patterns with their impact on power quality in low-voltage power distribution grids. The focus of the project is to systematically and scientifically compare the results for two-way vehicle charging (V2X) and smart charging against a base case consisting of unmanaged one-way charging. The project is expected to lead to increased knowledge on a broad front regarding the levels and spread of waveform distortion (harmonics, interharmonics, supraharmonics) in future low-voltage networks in connection with various types of vehicles charging solutions. The project is a collaboration between LTU and VTI and the successful candidate will be supervised and work closely with researchers from both institutions.
Duties
A PhD student position involves both theoretical and practical work. As a PhD student, you are trained in scientific work in the form of publishing scientific papers in journals and at national and international conferences. You also study compulsory and voluntary doctoral courses. In addition, you can have the opportunity to try out the teaching role. As a researcher, you work as a neutral party in many contexts, which provides a fantastic opportunity to learn how to run challenging research projects. Your work will mainly include theoretical models and simulations, but some practical measurements may also be included.
Qualifications
You are qualified to apply for this position if you have an MSc or equivalent technical degree with specialization appropriate for research in electrical power engineering such as electrical engineering, electronics, energy, engineering physics or similar areas. Alternatively, an individual fulfills the general eligibility requirements for the third-cycle educational program when he or she 1) has completed a second-cycle degree, 2) has completed higher education courses worth at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 are for second-cycle courses, or 3) in some other manner, in this country or abroad, has acquired the equivalent qualifications courses in electrical engineering. Advanced knowledge of written and spoken English is required. Previous experience in research, development or research-oriented education in a subject relevant to the tasks is considered a merit. In addition, ability to contribute to the education done by the group (in Swedish) is regarded meriting.
