<p style="margin:0in;font-family:Arial;font-size:11.0pt">The project
investigates the design and optimal operation of green minigrids
in rural
Africa, combining renewable energy sources with batteries and
diesel generators
in weak coupling to the main grid. The research comprises control
strategies
for the daily operation, accounting also for battery degradation
and bi-level
optimization problems for the design of minigrids respecting
probabilistic
constraints.</p>

looking for
candidates with a master’s degree and a strong background in
applied
mathematics or computational electrical engineering. Prior
knowledge in optimal
control, stochastic optimization or circuit simulation are
beneficial.</p>
