PhD Study - Real-time dynamic rating and condition monitoring of offshore wind farm export systems
Project description
You will be enrolled for three years as an industrial PhD student at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Center for Electric Power and Energy under the Danish industrial PhD programme, and you will be employed at DONG Energy
The project is part of a wider collaboration between DONG Energy and DTU concerning
- solutions for optimised design, dimensioning and utilisation of transmission systems
- reducing invested capital and operating expenditures.
The part you mainly will be involved in is 'Real-time dynamic rating and condition monitoring of offshore wind farm export systems.
You will join DONG Energy as an Electrical Engineer in the offshore wind farm substations area and become part of our group of skilled HV engineers in the Transformers and HV Components department. We are responsible for planning, designing and purchasing components, eg, switchgears, transformers, reactors, harmonic filters, dynamic reactive compensation and protection systems for on- and offshore substations for offshore wind farms.

Type
3-year Industrial PhD study
Requirements
Experience from high voltage transmission component research will be considered advantageous. As we are an international company and cooperate closely with our colleagues abroad, it is essential that you speak and write English fluently. You will perform cross-disciplinary work and cooperate with colleagues and external partners at both DONG Energy and at DTU and it is therefore essential that you thrive in teamwork. Additionally, sharing your knowledge internally as well as externally with others researchers is part of the Industrial PhD programme.
As a prerequisite for enrolment as a PhD student at DTU, you are expected to have achieved excellent grades in your MSc programme. It is an advantage, although not a requirement, that your professional skills are based on relevant working experience, including measurements and testing.
