PhD: CITCEA-UPC, Cinergia, and Alstom Wind, Spain
Contributed by: Oriol Gomis, oriol.gomis@upc.edu
Call for PhD students (Early Stage Researchers) to develop the PhD in CITCEA-UPC, CINERGIA, and ALSTOM WIND in Barcelona (Spain) involved in the Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN project "Multi-terminal DC grid for offshore wind" MEDOW.
Applicants are invited for Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions in the Marie-Curie Multi-terminal DC grid for offshore wind, initial training network (MEDOW ITN) at CITCEA-UPC, CINERGIA, and ALSTOM WIND. ESRs will work with leading researchers from the UK (Cardiff University, National Grid), Spain (UPC, Cinergia, Alstom Wind), Portugal (Uporto, Efacec), Belgium (Leuven, Elia), Denmark (DTU) and China (EPRI Electric Power Engineering Co. Ltd). To utilise the expertise of the ITN, and to facilitate multi-disciplinary collaboration, the researcher will have the opportunity for international secondments.
Fellow ESR4:
Host institution CITCEA-UPC (Barcelona)
Duration 36 months
Start date October 2013
Project title Control of multi-terminal HVDC systems for offshore wind power
Supervisor name Oriol Gomis, Antoni Sudrià (UPC)
Objectives • Develop dynamic control systems for the offshore DC grids
• Applied advanced control techniques to M-HVDC systems
• Apply the proposed schemes to voltage and power flow control in M-HVDC
• Model development and validation
• Experimental validation with scaled platforms
Dissemination Conference and journal publications, participation in all the project meetings and outreach activities.
Planned secondment EFACEC (3 months), NGRID (3 months), DTU (3 months)
Fellow ESR5:
Host institution Cinergia (Barcelona) + academic supervision UPC
Duration 36 months
Start date October 2013
Project title Power converter design and control for multi-terminal DC grids
Supervisor name Miquel Teixidó (Cinergia), Oriol Gomis (UPC)
Objectives • Analyze and develop voltage source converters for multiterminal HVDC grids
• Applied advanced control techniques for the control of VSC
• Model development and validation
• Construction of a scaled prototype
Dissemination Conference and journal publications, participation in all the project meetings and outreach activities.
Planned secondment DTU (3 months), CU (3 months), KU Leuven (3 months)
Fellow ESR6
Host institution Alstom Wind (Barcelona) + academic supervision UPC
Duration 36 months
Start date October 2013
Project title Control of wind farms interfaced to multi-terminal DC systems
Supervisor name Marc Sala (Asltom Wind), Oriol Gomis (UPC)
Objectives • Develop operation and control systems for offshore wind farms
• Applied advanced control techniques to such offshore wind farms
• Coordination between wind farm and wind turbines
• Model development and validation
• Experimental validation with scaled platforms
Dissemination Conference and journal publications, participation in all the project meetings and outreach activities.
Planned secondment UPC (3 months), CU (3 months), UPorto (3 months)
Benefits and requirements
This FP7 project is funded by the European Commission. Full time 3 year contract. Very competitive salary and mobility allowance. Rules for recruitment are that ITN are limited to early stage researchers (ESR) in the first 5 years of their career. Therefore the applicant must not have been awarded a PhD and their research experience must total ≤ 4 years at date of recruitment (counted from the diploma/degree that gives the right to embark in a doctoral degree). ESR recruitment is also subject to the mobility rule, "The researchers may be a national of a Member State, of an Associated Country or of any other third country". The researcher must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc) in the country of his/her host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Short stays (e.g. holidays) are not taken into account. The ESR will ideally commence PhD enrolment/employment in October 2013.
Interested applicants should send the CV, academic report, cover letter and two or three references to: gomis@citcea.upc.edu, before 30/06/2013 (with reference: Medow ESR), indicating which of the positions are of interest.
