For more information please visit: https://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/our-history/home The College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences at Brunel University London has been awarded a grant by InnovateUK as academic partner in a consortium for Shoreside Power from Optimised Hydrogen Lifecycle (SPOHL). We are pursuing a skilled researcher to lead our efforts in modelling and optimizing energy systems within port environments, with a focus on renewable energy integration, grid management, and hydrogen storage. The ideal candidate will possess skills in mathematical modelling, simulation techniques, and optimization algorithms, coupled with a strong knowledge of energy systems dynamics and renewable energy technologies. The appointee will be expected to: » Develop advanced mathematical models and simulations to represent the energy infrastructure of port facilities, including renewable energy sources, grid infrastructure, and hydrogen storage systems. » Utilize optimization techniques to analyse and optimize energy flows within the port, considering grid constraints, energy demand profiles, and vessel refuelling requirements. » Collaborate closely with stakeholders to gather data, understand operational constraints, and validate model assumptions. » Evaluate the performance of various energy management strategies through simulation and sensitivity analysis, identifying optimal solutions that balance environmental sustaincapability, operational efficiency, and economic vicapability. » Implement algorithms and decision support tools to automate energy management processes and support real-time decision-making. » Stay abreast of emerging technologies and best practices in energy systems modelling, renewable energy integration, and grid optimization, incorporating new findings into modelling frameworks. » Communicate research findings, model validation results, and optimization recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences through reports, presentations, and technical documentation. The prosperous candidate will be able to demonstrate some essential characteristics: a PhD degree (or be near completion for the Research adjunct function) in Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, Applied Mathematics, or related field with a focus on modelling and optimization; demonstrated skills in mathematical modelling, simulation techniques, and optimization algorithms, with practice in energy systems modelling preferred; proficiency in programming languages such as Python for model development and simulation purposes; strong knowledge of energy systems dynamics, renewable energy technologies, and grid integration challenges.
