KU Leuven and EnergyVille are offering a fully funded PhD position on scalable wide-area electromagnetic-transient (EMT) simulation and automated stability assessment for future transmission systems. The project is hosted within the ELECTA research group of the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) at KU Leuven, with work connected to EnergyVille and the research team led by Prof. Jef Beerten. The group works on power systems, smart grids, HVDC, LVDC, renewable integration, and stability o...

KU Leuven has launched a PhD vacancy within the FLEX-SMR project on dynamic modelling and control of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for combined heat and power applications. The project aims to develop cost-optimal solutions for integrating SMRs into industrial energy systems, with a focus on operating SMRs alongside other energy assets such as electric boilers. The research will use a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework to optimally balance electricity and heat production. This is a strong ...
