If you are aspiring for a career in industrial R&D or academia, with a passion for the production of low carbon energy, particularly wind energy and its most intriguing research challenges, then this subject may be of interest to you.
We are seeking a passionate, curious, and enthusiastic new team member committed to addressing climate change by advancing renewable energy systems. We are looking for someone who thrives on solving complex problems, isn't afraid to ask challenging questions, and possesses the determination to pursue innovative solutions in a rapidly evolving field.
DTU Wind invites applications for a position as a PhD student in Wind Farm Control (WFC) Optimization, focusing on Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques, as part of Design and impact assessment of autonomous actions investigated in IntelliWind.
In this role, you will have the chance to evolve
within academia at DTU Wind, located in Risø, near Roskilde, just 30 minutes from Copenhagen. You will benefit from advanced training in various European universities and industry, participate in scientific discussions within the rich context of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network (MSCA DN) "Intelligent systems for autonomous Wind power plant operations" (IntelliWind).
You are a committed individual with a strong background in engineering or computer science, with a keen interest in scientific programming and machine learning. Your curiosity drives you to explore and understand the intricacies of wind energy systems, and your self-motivation pushes you to expand the boundaries of what is currently possible for a better tomorrow.
If you also work efficiently in a project team and take responsibility for your own research goals you will be a good fit in our team. There are additional criteria for Marie Skłodowska-Curie DNs

- Not resided or carried out your main activity in Denmark, for more than 12 months within the last 3 years.
Your primary tasks will be to:
- Develop and test new AI-driven algorithms for WFC, emphasizing accuracy, reliability, and robustness.
- Include impact assessment to estimate the potential benefits of the AI-driven WFC strategies compared to physics-based approaches.
- Assess the risk and uncertainties through uncertainty assessment involving, for example, ensemble modeling.
The present project will take advantage of collaboration with researchers and engineers at DTU and at external partners in academia as well as the industry.
We offer
you the opportunity to be a part of IntelliWind, which will not only facilitate sixteen DCs in reaching a high level of technical and project-specific excellence but will also provide you with many opportunities for developing skills that are transferable to a broader landscape of opportunities.
