About this position
DTU Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark is advertising a Postdoc in Experimental Validation and Control of Hybrid Power Plants. The position is centered on the Risø Hybrid Power Plant (HPP) in Roskilde, one of Europe’s notable experimental facilities for hybrid renewable energy research.
The project combines wind turbines, PV systems, battery storage, and an upcoming controllable grid interface (CGI) for grid emulation. The research is aimed at bridging high-fidelity modelling with real-world experimental validation of hybrid renewable power plants, especially under weak grids and low-inertia, converter-dominated power systems.
Research topics include RMS, EMT, and frequency-domain modelling, development of plant-level controllers, real-time implementation using OPAL-RT platforms, and power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) testing. The role also mentions integration of research into teaching and supervision.
Preferred background includes converter-based energy resources, experience with RMS/EMT modelling and control, hands-on work with HIL systems or experimental setups, and programming skills in C++ and Python. The post is especially relevant for candidates interested in renewable energy systems, power electronics, grid integration, and experimental power system validation.
Deadline: 22 April 2026. Applicants should use the DTU application link provided in the post. The announcer is Kaushik Das, Associate Professor at DTU Wind and Energy Systems.
