Our purpose is to develop interdisciplinary research areas within the university as well as with external partners. Research activities at the division can be organised in four main areas: Electric power systems, power electronics, electric machines and high voltage engineering.
The strength of our research is based on a solid theoretical basis and extensive experimental verification in our laboratories as well as in the field. Our goals are to enhance the knowledge base regarding electrical systems for renewables, vehicles, buildings and industrial applications. The division has recently been involved in a number of research projects in the area of smart energy buildings and microgrids, transmission system monitoring and protection etc., funded by EU, state funding as well as by Swedish power industry.
As a postdoc you will be working in an open and inovative environment with a high level of freedom. You will be part of a team with different background and experience , ranging from PhD students to Professors, as well as with external partners. The work will include both model development as well as demonstration of the developed solution on the Campus testbed.
Project description
You will mainly work in an EU project dealing with energy management systems for local energy systems, considering a variaty of different flexibility resources including, batteries, vehicles, heatpumps, ventilation etc. The project will develop and demonstrate innovative solutions and technologies, enabled by digitalisation, for local energy communities (LECs) aiming to increase the benefits from LEC. In addition the project will also investigate different market based solutions and its impact on LEC.
You will work in close collaboration with international project partners within the consortium of the projects. The position also includes departmental work (e.g., teaching) up to 20%, apart from the research tasks.
