Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Technology, Environmental and Social Sciences has a open position for PhD Research Fellow in AI Integration in the New Nordic Energy Balance Model
About the position:
The Department of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, has a vacancy for a research fellow (PhD position) for a period of 4 years, in data-driven techniques for improving energy-balance model and hydropower optimization
The PhD research fellow will be part of the PhD programme in Computer Science: Software Engineering, Sensor Networks and Engineering Computing (https://www.hvl.no/en/research/phd-programmes/phd-programme-in-computer-science/). The research programme in Computer Science currently includes 20 professors and associate professors, more than 30 PhD and post-doctoral fellows, and a large number of master’s students.
The place of employment is Campus Bergen.
The future of the Nordic power system is expected to be increasingly weather-dependent and integrated into new consumption patterns. Nordic energy policies’ aim is to significantly increase the share of variable renewable energy sources (VRES), especially offshore wind to the grid, by 2040. These new changes require a new Nordic Balancing Model (NBM) to ensure the security of supply in the most effective manner. Norway’s hydropower systems are especially important for improving NBM flexibility and integrating more VRES into the power systems. One of the considerable changes to the current NBM model is the transition from hourly resolution to shorter resolution (minutes-based resolutions). Implementing shorter resolutions significantly impacts the Nordic transmission system operators, for running balancing processes and shortening planning and operation horizons. Therefore, it is essential to develop highly automated tools to aid decision-makers facing the future challenges of the NBM. Meanwhile, AI and Machine learning techniques offer new opportunities to revolutionize the design and operation of NBM. However, it is important to ensure that results obtained from AI models are trustworthy, given the sensitive requirement of meeting the demand of power supply. In this project, the PhD student should find solutions to address the challenges related to implement trustworthy AI-based NMB. The PHD student is responsible to explore and develop physics aware AI models for maximizing NBM flexibility by facilitating the use of Norway hydropower capacity.
The PhD research fellow must hold a master's degree in computer science, Electrical engineering, Applied or computational mathematics or in a closely related field. Candidates who have submitted a master’s thesis (but who has not yet been awarded a master’s degree) may also qualify for the position provided that the master`s degree is awarded within 4 weeks after the application deadline.

A possible outline of a research plan for a potential PhD project will also be taken into account.
The candidate must be diligent and display the ability to work independently, supplemented with regular guidance, and is expected to carry out high-quality research and to publish the results in international workshops, conferences, and journals.
