PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Modern Economic History
PhD Candidate will focus on the work package Living Standards. This work package will examine the effect of blockade-induced shortages in order to establish the extent to which these shortages affected the standard of living and post-war consumption habits of households. The project will focus on one major blockaded belligerent (e.g., Germany, or Austria-Hungary) and on one blockaded neutral or occupied country (e.g., Norway, Poland, Belgium) in the First World War or in the Second World War. The PhD will have to develop meaningful indicators as standard concepts on measuring living standards do not work for wartime. They will also have to isolate blockade effects from larger wartime factors. Published and unpublished quantitative data, diaries, newspapers, government files, as well as files from municipal and regional archives will serve as source base.
The PhD candidate is encouraged to develop their own approach to these questions, for example by focusing on specific goods typically consumed by private households. The working package is one of four positions across the four BLOCKADE locations that should speak to the theme of violence/care that determines the impact of blockades on demographic developments and living standards, on their adoption as a seemingly ‘benign’ form of coercion by the League of Nations and on the humanitarian responses they evoked. The theme aims to offer new insights into the connection between blockades and the totalisation and civilianisation of warfare as well as the making of modern humanitarian law and practice. The team members will work together across locations to build a rich source base for BLOCKADE.
The PhD candidate will work with the project leader of the Trondheim team, Jonas Scherner, and their immediate ‘line manager’ will be the Head of Department.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in Modular DC/DC converters for Battery Energy Storage and Fuel Cells for Marine Applications
The maritime sector accounts today for 9% of Norway’s GHG emissions and 12% of global transport emissions. However, the urgently required decarbonization of the maritime transport sector imposes the need to phase out traditional fossil fuel powered propulsion. A way forward to address this challenge is to increase the degree of onboard electrification including electrification of propulsion. Such approach will necessitate the integration of modern energy carriers onboard, as for example battery energy storage systems and fuel cells, leading to a more environmentally friendly operation of the vessels. Integration of batteries and fuel cells with the vessel’s onboard DC distribution grid (1-1.5 kV or even MV) require power electronics, which enable power and voltage control. Designing high-efficiency and low-footprint power electronics is of outermost importance for maritime applications. To achieve these design constraints both Silicon (e.g., IGBTs) and wide bandgap (WBG) (e.g., Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN)) power semiconductors will be utilized.
The PhD candidate will develop compact, cost-effective and high-efficiency modular and galvanically isolated DC/DC power electronic converters employing WBG power semiconductors for interconnecting batteries and fuel cells with the vessel’s onboard DC distribution grid. A particular focus of the project will be on delivering optimized converter designs in terms of voltage, power, specific topologies, their control methods and suitable power semiconductors technology.
The PhD candidate will work in the 300 MNOK Centre for Environment-Friendly Energy Research (FME) “Maritime Energy Transition (MarTrans)”, which is funded by the Research Council of Norway and industry.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Scalable Model Predictive Control for the Space-Heating Flexibility of Buildings
Buildings are energy-flexible in the sense that they can move their loads in time, typically to provide services to the electricity or district heating grids (also called demand response). For instance, one key objective can be to decrease energy use during peak hours of the grid while maintaining acceptable comfort for occupants. In cold climates, the space-heating is a dominant load, and advanced control can adapt this load by changing the indoor temperature in time. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is gaining increasing interest in performing this space-heating flexibility. While this solution has been extensively investigated using simulations (meaning “virtual experiments”), there are still limited examples where tailor-made MPC has been deployed and tested in a real building and over a long period. However, the road to scalable solutions still lies ahead. Firstly, the amount of measurement data can be limited and not properly structured, contextualized, or standardized. Secondly, the building may not be built and operated exactly as originally planned. Thirdly, physical phenomena may be more complex in reality than in simulation (such as the heating system and the occupant behaviour). Finally, the existing “legacy” automation system may not be suited for smart control. Therefore, this PhD aims to define a scalable MPC setup (or technical pathway) that can support some of these limitations and to test it in a real building. The final objective is to provide thorough documentation of the scalable MPC workflow and test case.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Well Plugging and Abandonment – IV-80/25
We have a vacancy for a PhD Candidate at the Department of Geosciences (IGV) in Well Plugging and Abandonment (P&A) Technology and within the framework of the ongoing industry sponsored research program SFI – Center for Subsurface Well Integrity, Plugging and Abandonment (SWIPA) https://www.sintef.no/en/latest-news/2020/new-research-and-innovation-center-to-provide-climate-friendly-value-creation-on-the-norwegian-continental-shelf/
Cement is the traditional material used in the well construction phase and in the well plugging and abandonment phase to seal off any leak paths between the reservoir and surroundings. Improved sealing performance using cement includes, among other things, the use of additives to make the cement more flexible and reduce crimping when the cement sets. In some types of clay formation, the bore hole diameter will shrink and make a tight seal against the casing in the well bore. Bismuth can be an alternative material for improved sealing of wellbores. The metallic material, which has a typical melting point between 140 – 270 0C depending on material composition, is typically expanding 0,5 – 3% when it sets. For some applications, this material can be applied to avoid or reduce leaks and thus improve the integrity of the well.
The PhD research work will focus on the use of expanding materials like Bismuth, and investigate how this material affects the interaction between the casing, cement (if any) and formation, and further how this will affect sealing along the bore hole section.
