About the Division of Electric Power Engineering

The Division of Electric Power Engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering conducts research across a broad range of electric power technologies, aiming to advance interdisciplinary research within the university and with external partners. Our research is organized into four main areas: electric power systems, power electronics, electric machines, and high-voltage engineering.

Our research is rooted in strong theoretical foundations, complemented by extensive experimental verification in both laboratories and real-world applications. We strive to expand knowledge on electrical systems for renewables, vehicles, buildings, and industrial applications. Recently, the division has participated in numerous projects on smart energy buildings, microgrids, and transmission system monitoring and protection, funded by the EU, Swedish power industry, and government agencies.

Job description

The primary responsibility of this position is to pursue doctoral studies and meet the requirements of the PhD program at Chalmers University of Technology.

Your research will focus on the development and demonstration of the concept of "multi-energy flexibility as a service", covering, among others:

• Multi-energy flexibility needs analysis and products' design
• Advanced forecasting for multi-energy systems
• AI-based energy management system for multi-energy system 
• Market structure for multi-energy flexibility resources
• Real-world demonstration of the concept in collaboration with project partners

You will develop your own scientific concepts and present your research findings in both verbal and written English. The role may also include teaching or other departmental duties, amounting to no more than 20% of your working time.
