Job description
TU Delft is a top tier university and is exceedingly active in the field of Artificial intelligence and the TU Delft's campus has strong expertise in energy systems as well as the design and governance of complex sociotechnical systems. Energy systems are the backbone of our modern society, but are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to operate as renewable energy, heating and transport sectors are integrated into the system. It's crucially important that energy systems are sustainable, safe, reliable and socially just, now and in the future. Contributing to this vision, the newly Energy Grids Lab unites TU Delft, Radboud University, University of Twente, HAN University of Applied Sciences and Alliander.
Alliander is a Distribution system operator there to maintain, operate the medium-low voltage grid and connect end-users with generators to the transmission high-voltage grid. With the goal to enhance the transport capability of the distribution grid, this lab aims to address distinct challenges arising in the Netherlands and the thousands of distribution grids worldwide. This lab focuses on two ways of impact towards extending the grid capability where one improves the grid operations and the other investigates targeted infrastructure expansions. This lab combines the expertise of Alliander data scientists and electrical engineers, the latest digitalization programs that make grid data available, with the academic expertise on methods from artificial intelligence enabling the lab's scientific success and broa...
