PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in software retrofitting for converters
The electricity grid is undergoing rapid changes due to the implementation of renewables and large increase of power electronic converters. For example, High-Voltage Direct-Current (HVDC) technology is a key enabler for offshore wind integration and has massive expected growth rates. HVDC converter systems that are put in operation are normally expected to last 20-30 years, however during this time the surrounding electricity grid will change. For that reason, it is likely that the converter control and protection software needs to be adapted. In this project we will investigate the boundary conditions, such as initial hardware overdesign, energy storage, or tradeoffs between required and added functionalities. Ideally, the converter control and protection software is designed such that as little as possible or no adaptation will be needed. A deeper understanding between power electronics design and high-level functionality in the power system is a main outcome of the project. The studies are supposed to be executed in computer simulation and verified in a down-scaled laboratory prototype.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in HVDC grid protection expansion
High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) technology is a key enabler for the integration of offshore wind energy into our power system. Today, we see the first multi-terminal systems appearing, however their design is typically done for the complete system and “plug&play” is not yet available. In this project we want to investigate the design of HVDC protection in multi-terminal systems, in particular during expansion. Here, both software and hardware parameters need to be considered and topics such as software re-design vs hardware re-design (or both), single- vs double-ended fault detection, and interaction with converter controls need to be taken into account. The outcome of the project is a deeper understanding of plug&play HVDC protection design. The studies are supposed to be executed in computer simulation and verified using a protection intelligent electronic device.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Hybrid Energy Storage
To combat climate change, the power grid is evolving and many countries around the world are increasing their utilization of energy storage systems. Energy storage systems can, at various levels of the power grid, provide different services directly to the user but also to the grid itself. However, not all types of storage systems are equally suitable in all situations, e.g., an inherently large power capability is not naturally coupled with a high energy capacity and vice versa. The approach of combining different types of storage systems is called hybrid energy storage system (HESS). This allows for more flexibility and opportunities but can, e.g., increase losses if not properly handled. The development of new electrochemical batteries, hydrogen storage and fuel cells, electrical vehicles (and their connection to the grid via Vehicle-to-Grid, V2G), new services (for stability and sustainability) and actors in the grid all allows for interesting possibilities where HESS can contribute.
In this PhD project hybrid energy storage systems will be investigated for different applications in the grid, their ability to provide different services with optimized performance over time, reduced climate impact and/or maximized revenue possibilities.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Electrical Engineering
The significant progresses in 5G, cloud, and AI are revolutionizing the world of industrial automation and robotics. However, there are still major concerns about safety, security, and availability before the 5G, cloud, and AI technologies can be used in safety-critical applications such as industrial control systems and massive infrastructures. This challenge has become even more crucial for sustainability, humans, and the environment because we need to cope with the impacts of not only unintentional interferences in the infrastructure but also malicious attacks. The safety concern is the root cause of the stringent requirements on latency, reliability, security, and resilience in general.
In this project, we hope to crack this “hard nut” by interdisciplinary innovations. Our goal is to guarantee both functional safety and uptime of the safety-critical automation systems controlled over wireless, cloud, and AI. Therefore, we will not limit ourselves to a certain discipline or tool, instead, we will leverage the co-design of communication, computing, and control with the generative artificial intelligence tools. We will explore from two directions, 1, how to make the infrastructure aware of and optimized for safety applications, 2, how to make the safety applications aware of and optimized for the insufficiencies of the infrastructure.
The use cases include autonomous robots and machines, automated mobile vehicles for manufacturing, hoisting and ventilation systems for mining, remote operation of cranes at container terminals, heavy-duty grinding motors and drives, and large petrochemical systems, to name a few. We aim not only for theoretical breakthroughs but also leaps in industrial practice through real-life proof-of-concepts with our industrial partners.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in nanostructure electrosynthesis for organic oxidation reactions
Water-splitting electrolysis is a promising technology to produce green hydrogen fuel. However, this technology is limited by the slow kinetics of the reaction at the anode, i.e., the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Alternatively, the oxidation of renewable biomass-derived organics, such as glycerol, requires lower applied overpotentials and produces industrially valuable chemicals. This project aims to prepare bimetallic and trimetallic catalysts to perform organic oxidation reactions coupled with hydrogen production at the cathode. Non-toxic and affordable solvents, such as deep eutectic solvents, will be explored to prepare bi- and trimetallic nanostructures with tuned morphology and composition using the electrodeposition technique. In this project, we will evaluate how the composition and catalyst structure affect product selectivity and stability under different applied potential conditions. For further details of the employed methodology, read more here.
This recruitment is connected to the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE). WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and will encompass major efforts at Sweden’s foremost universities over the course of 10 years.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Molecular simulation of wetting
The energetics and dynamics of wetting are of high interest from both fundamental scientific and technological points of view. Often the macroscopic behavior of wetting is dominated by processes at molecular scale at the interface. Here in particular the three-phase contact line is of importance, where substrate, liquid and gas (or another liquid) meet. The scales involved can not be observed directly in experiments. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations can provide the required spatial and time resolutions. In this project we will study how mixtures of two liquids or a liquid plus surfactant wet surfaces. The surfaces can be either simple or have molecules attached to them that interact with the liquid in different ways. In experiments non-trivial behavior has been observed. There can be several reasons for this, e.g. preferential wetting of the substrate by one of the liquids (energetics), but also differences in dynamic behavior of liquids at the contact line. Molecular dynamics simulations enable us to disentangle such effects and will allow to rationalize behavior observed in experiments. As a further step, we might be able to capture certain types of behavior as boundary conditions or extensions of continuum models, which are being developed together with collaborators at the department of Mechanics.
