Robert Eriksson

This PhD project focuses on resilient power systems and how electricity networks can maintain reliable operation and recover effectively under crisis, war, and other strained operating conditions. The work is situated at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Uppsala University , with the position placed in the Division of Electricity at the Ångström Laboratory . The research addresses increasing demands on the electricity system due to electrification, higher use of existing transmission and distribution networks, and a changing security environment. You will work on advanced modeling, system simulations, and scenario analyses to develop methods that improve robustness, resilience, and recovery capability in power systems. The project includes investigating optimized system operation after major disturbances, developing new indicators, forecasting methods, and control strategies, and studying how electricity supply can be sustained under difficult conditions. The position is part of RESILIENT , a national research centre that brings together academia, industry, and societal actors to develop future resilient and sustainable energy systems. The research environment is described as international and active, with a strong doctoral network, experimental projects, and close collaboration with Swedish companies, public and private, as well as other stakeholders in the energy sector. Research work will involve both theoretical studies and practical use of simulation tools such as PowerFactory, PowerWorld, and PSS®E or equivalent software. The project is closely connected to energy-sector applications and aims to combine research with implementation in collaboration with external partners.
