[交流] Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow - Smart Grid Modelling

Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow - Smart Grid Modelling

De Montfort University - Institute of Energy & Sustainable Development (IESD)
Fixed term for three years in the first instance

£30,594 - £43,622 per annum

Ref: 6278

The IESD is a research-led multidisciplinary group of specialists whose aim is to make a worthwhile and significant contribution to sustainable development through research, consultancy and education. Research to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon emissions of buildings is a particular strength.

A researcher is sought to work on an exciting £1.25M research project Complex Adaptive Systems, Cognitive Agents and  Distributed Energy (CASCADE): a Complexity Science-Based Investigation into the Smart Grid Concept led by De Montfort University in partnership with Cranfield University. The project runs for three years, and is funded by EPSRC under the Energy Challenges for Complexity Science programme (ranked first).  It has a number of other industrial and public body sponsors including E.ON UK and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research organisation (CSIRO), Australia’s national research agency. Its aim is the development of an advanced agent-based modelling framework that will radically improve the technology represented by existing models of the electricity grid - including enhancement of technical, economic and end-user aspects of electricity supply - to enable the possible consequences of smart grid evolution to be assessed and disseminated to policy makers, service providers and end-users.

The researcher will work alongside acknowledged experts in the field of complexity science and agent based modelling and with fellow researchers working on energy economics and social science aspects of the project. They will  be responsible for reviewing the state of the art in electricity grid modelling, designing and developing more advanced agent-based models to support smart grid concepts, and will be required to participate in the development of scenarios, deployment of the models and dissemination of the results in an international context.

The post will be for three years in the first instance, with excellent prospects for further extensions. A good first degree and a PhD or equivalent research experience are essential. These should be based on power systems or a related area. Good technical software design and development skills, software based modelling experience and report writing ability of a high order are essential. Previous experience of a responsible role in significant technical projects and a track record of publication in peer-reviewed journals in the energy field are also required for appointment at the Senior Research Fellow level. Excellent general computing and communication skills are important as are an interest in complexity science and a genuine aptitude for, and commitment to, sustainability research.
