Master student – Flexibility Demand in Electrical Distribution Networks

Jülich

October 19, 2024

Achieving a secure, greenhouse gas-neutral energy supply is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. At the Institute for Energy and Climate Research – Jülich Systems Analysis (ICE-2), we conduct research into how a sustainable energy system can be achieved and what it might look like. In this context, we develop a wide range of highly complex and detailed energy system models that we utilize to assess local-to-global energy systems in an integrated manner. Therefore, we aim to provide the best possible knowledge-based support for the implementation of the clean energy transition.
Your Job:
In order to address the challenges associated with climate change, it is necessary to analyze future distribution networks as we transition to sustainable energy sources. Moreover, the flexibility of decentralized energy sources, coupled with the increasing emphasis on incorporating self-sufficiency in buildings and energy-intensive technologies, has significant implications on distribution networks. Moreover, these changes would impact the reliability of the distribution grids and introduce challenges in resolving issues associated with the volatility of grid development and reinforcement. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to analyze the adaptability and instability of flexibility demand in strengthening distribution grids by using geo-referenced synthetic distribution networks. Here, you will analyze the performance of distribution networks in different scenarios and configurations towards achieving greenhouse gas neutrality. The task is being carried out in close cooperation with a well-known regional energy service and infrastructure provider. You will perform the following tasks:

  • Conducting comprehensive study on the flexibility demand in electrical distribution grids, evaluating various scenarios and their impacts
  • Defining scenarios with and without restrictions in infrastructure; focus on West of Germany
  • Implementing methods to adjust the energy consumption in response to supply in the selected distribution networks
  • Different scenarios for sizing and placement of generation and storage technologies as alternative to distribution network expansion
  • Simulating the use of flexibilities with given scenarios to quantify the impacts on distribution networks
  • Finding metrices and systematically compare the impacts with and without flexibility demand


Your Profile:
  • Bachelor`s degree in the field of Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, Computer Science, Data Science or a related field of study
  • Interest in Energy systems analysis, integration of renewable energy sources, grid resilience
  • Good Knowledge in electrical networks analysis and simulations
  • Experience in data analysis and programming (preferably Python)
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a research environment
  • Fluent English language skills, both written and spoken


Our Offer:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

  • A highly motivated working group in one of the largest research institutions in Europe
  • Our canteen has a wide choice of food on offer – and the chance to enjoy your lunch break with a view of the lake
  • A large research campus in a forested area, offering fantastic opportunities for networking with colleagues and pursuing sporting activities alongside work
  • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
  • Intensive supervision through web meetings, with the option to complete the work entirely remotely
  • Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed, and collegial team environment

The position is initially for a fixed term of 6 months.

In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have more to offer: https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/careers/julich-as-an-employer/benefits

We particularly welcome applications from people from a diverse range of backgrounds (e.g. regardless of age, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation/identity, as well as social, ethnic, and religious background). We strive to offer a diverse and inclusive working environment in which people enjoy equal opportunities and are able to fulfill their potential.
