About this position

A PhD doctoral scholarship is available at the TUM ENERGISE Center, Technical University of Munich, for research on Dynamic Modeling and Stability of South African Transmission Networks.

The project focuses on power-system challenges created by large-scale integration of inverter-based resources into South Africa’s transmission network. Research topics include: (1) open-source dynamic transmission network models and grid-forming/grid-supporting controls, (2) stability margin estimation in weak grids and congestion bottleneck analysis, and (3) grid code modernization for high shares of non-synchronous generation.

The position is supervised by Prof. Reinaldo Tonkoski and is aimed at a PhD student interested in stability, control, transmission networks, renewable integration, and computational modeling.

Funding includes a EUR 1300/month stipend, EUR 2000 mobility support, and insurance support. The scholarship runs for 36 months and may be extended to 42 months.

To apply, submit a CV, motivation letter, 2–3 page research proposal, recommendation letters, and transcripts through the linked Google Form. Use the subject line: Dynamic Modeling and Stability of South African Transmission Networks. Deadline: October 31, 2026.
