PhD scholarship in Energy System Analysis in Modelling of Transport Systems in Energy System Modelling Tools

jobbeskrivelse:
The Systems Analysis Division at DTU Management Engineering has a vacancy as Ph.D. in the Energy Systems Analysis Group. The Energy Systems Analysis Group provides research within the field of energy, environment and economy. The programme is a cross-disciplinary research unit employing 23 scientists/senior scientists and PhD students with expertise in economics, operations research and/ or technical research. The research is project oriented in collaboration with Danish and international research institutes. Responsibilities and tasks •Modelling of transport systems in energy system modelling tools •Model emerging transport technologies •Incorporate modal choice in the existing TIMES-DK model by linking to Landstrafikmodellen from DTU Transport •Review methodologies for representing modal shift in optimisation models •Test different ways of modelling modal choice inside the TIMES-DK model •Develop a new advanced transport model for TIMES-DK enabling modal shift by including e.g. infrastructure capacity, travel distance and time. •Application of linear programming and when relevant integer and stochastic programming •Analysis of different scenarios for future joint development of the transport and energy system The research will require competences within mathematical modelling. Further competences within the TIMES modelling tool, national energy system analysis and chemical or thermal engineering will be an advantage. As part of the Ph.D. project the student is expected to contribute to teaching at the M.Sc. in Sustainable Energy at DTU. Qualifications Candidates should have a master's degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering.
