PhD Scholarship:Coordinated Control of Wind Power Plants and Energy Storage Systems, Denmark

PhD Scholarship in the  Department of Electrical Engineering at Denmark Technical University in Denmark

Study Subject(s):Coordinated Control of Wind Power Plants and Energy Storage Systems
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Denmark Technical University
Scholarship can be taken at: Denmark

Eligibility:Candidates should have a MSc in engineering (or will graduate in the near future – documentation for final thesis and date of examination must be enclosed in the application) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the MSc in engineering. Good knowledge of wind turbine models, control theory and power system simulation tools, e.g. PowerFactory, PSS/E, etc. is expected. Experience within the wind power industry is an advantage.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: This PhD project will focus on the coordinated control of wind power plants (WPPs) and energy storage systems. The project will investigate the feasibility of smoothing the power output from WPPs by coordinated control. Sizing for energy storage systems will be studied on top of the coordinated control of WPPs if they are needed to help smooth the power output of WPPs.The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in the PhD programme at DTU and in parallel at the Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
