PhD in Regulatory Engineering with a focus on regulation of data centers

Doctoral student in control technology with a focus regulation of data centers Lund University, Lund University of Technology, Department Subject and project description The AEGIS project is in the intersection between two rapidly growing areas: data center and AI-Infrast Today, it is few who have expertise in both areas, which means that the expertise you develop here are both rare and very requested. More specifically, there is a gap between overall goals that "reduce carbon dioxide emissions now" and the concrete control of a data center's cooling system, batteries and computational hardware. In this project you will bridge this gap. You will develop a control system that receives overall goals ("intents") and translates them into a coordinated set of control measures for the plant's physical resources. The models are reconnected in the control loop and automatically adapted online using both classical control technology and AI and reinforcement learning (Reinforcement Learning).

You will work within the project to work to: design methods of expressing a variable control goals (Intent Language) describing targets for carbon dioxide emissions, flexibility and cost.

Break down overall goals into concrete control measures.

Adapt models for power performance and thermal process online.

Tasks You will primarily devote yourself to your postgraduate education, which includes both participation in research projects and postgraduate courses, seminars and conferences.

The doctoral student consists of three main parts and the tasks include: research projects, including writing articles, travel to conferences, seminars, etc.

Postgraduate courses, local, national as well as international courses (90hp) teaching (however max 20% of working hours), including lab supervision, examination responsibility and development work. This part also includes institutional service, e.g. Work on diversity and equal treatment, organization of arrangements at the department M.M.
