Would you like to explore the exciting secrets of modern battery energy storage systems, BESS, and do you strive to understand all aspects of battery applications? Through development and use of cutting-edge measurements techniques and diagnostics, data analysis and modeling, DTU Wind offers you the opportunity to pursue your dreams, working with the key enabling energy technology of the future, the BESS, and at the same time contributing to the green energy transition. Further, you will be part of a dynamic working environment with a pleasant team atmosphere, and the opportunity to grow and develop your academic, industry and personal skills.
We seek PhD students who are willing to drive advanced measurements (EIS, ICA, pulse-excitation techniques and embedded sensors) research on BESS and based on data analysis develop the next generation high fidelity BESS models that can push the limits of understanding of all battery systems.
The Division for Power and Energy Systems of DTU Wind and Energy Systems provides cutting edge research in sustainable, reliable and cost-efficient energy systems for the benefit of society. At DTU Wind and Energy Systems you will enjoy the advantages of a creative and inspiring work environment shared with about 400 highly skilled and motivated colleagues.
The PhD position is part of the Nordic5Tech (N5T) battery initiative at the 5 Nordic technical universities. Joining the team, you will be one in a pool of prestigious PhD students breaking new ground at the absolute forefront of BESS technology. As part of the N5T program you will spend up to 6 months external stay at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden.
Responsibilities and qualifications
Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s BESS competences in the intersection between theory and the real world by using advanced condition monitoring, modeling and control.
