PhD project: Energy storage and energy system integration

Main research areas:

• Optimization problems in the energy system (unit commitment, economic dispatch, optimal design size, and others).
• Solutions for integration between the electric power system and other parts of the energy system.
• Energy storage technologies focusing on options and technologies related to thermal energy storage.
• Investigation into future energy needs.
• Variability of renewable sources (wind & solar) as well as electrical and thermal loads.
• Laboratory testing of fuel cells on a small-scale system.

Scientific tools:

• Matlab; GAMS; STAR-CCM+ (CFD); EES
