Are you a curious, self-driven individual with a strong passion for developing sustainable energy solutions? The Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) invites applications for a PhD position focused on the creation of a Wind Turbine Load Surrogate for Wind Farm Control. This is your opportunity to make a significant contribution towards improving wind farm efficiency and sustainability.
We need a passionate, curious, and enthusiastic new team member committed to addressing climate change through advancing renewable energy systems. We're searching for someone who flourishes in the face of complex problems, isn't afraid to ask probing questions, and possesses the grit to pursue innovative solutions in a rapidly evolving field.
You are a committed individual with a strong engineering or computer science background. You have a keen interest in scientific programming and machine learning. Your curiosity guides you to explore and understand the intricacies of wind energy systems, and your self-guided nature encourages you to push the limits of what is today possible for a better tomorrow.
You have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
As a PhD candidate, you will be tasked with the creation of dynamic and transient load surrogates that can interface with both reduced order models of wind farm wake flow and Dynamic Wake Meandering (DWM) type of engineering models. The aim is to develop versatile load surrogates that can predict time series or statistics of power and loads based on a range of data-driven/machine learning methodologies. Such models can accelerate the prediction of wind farm performance, and be used to devise sophisticated wind farm control strategies.
This project is co-financed by the EU-H2020 SUDOCO project , which focuses on developing new methods for the control co-design of offshore wind farms. In line with the goals of the SUDOCO project, the load surrogate should be capable of predicting changes in power and loads with respect to control set-points such as yaw misalignment, global pitch/RPM changes and cyclic pitch RPM.
You will get the chance to work in one of the best Technical University Europe, at the Risø campus, the cradle and world renown campus of innovation and research in wind energy. Furthermore, by being part of an EU project you will have the opportunity to meet regularly and work closely with a distributed team of experts, both from academia and wind industry located all across Europe.
Required Qualifications and Competencies
- A Master's degree in an engineering field or computer science
- Proficiency in scientific Python programming
- A background in machine learning
Desirable additional background knowledge
- Wind energy
- Data-driven methods, such as SVD/POD and deep learning
- Control or optimization
- Wind turbine aero-elastic modelling
- Wind farm flow physics (wind farm wake)
Wind and Energy System Department is a mission-oriented organisation focused on accelerating the development and integration of wind based energy systems. The System Engineering and Optimization (SYS) section work closely with experts from all across the department and companies to create simulation, design and control solutions for wind farm, wind clusters and hybrid-power plants.
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
