Postdoc in AI and digital modeling of electric power systems

Tasks

Do you want to build the models, data and calculation environments needed to analyze and control the future electrical system? The department for electric power technology is looking for a postdoctoral doctor in digital modeling and AI for electric power systems. You work in a research project where AI, system development and data modeling of electric power systems are at the center. In one, a national digital twin of the Swedish electrical system is built, with open data sets, catalogs of information models and interfaces and demonstrators for data exchange between network companies, flexible electricity customers, aggregators and electricity market The work is done in close collaboration with industry and network companies.

Most of the work consists of developing methods and related system support for analysis, modeling, optimization and control of electric power systems from a system perspective. In the employment, it is included:

• Building a development environment with databases and computational platforms for development and training of AI models for power system applications
• Independently pursue the information lying on KTH's responsibility in the projects: Method and system development, reporting and documentation
• Publish the results scientifically and present them to the parties of the projects
• Monitor developments in the area

Some tutorials of students can occur. The work may include managing data on the Swedish electricity grid covered by security protection.

Qualifications

Requirements

• Deposed PhD or foreign degree deemed to correspond to a doctoral degree. This authorization requirement must be met at the latest at the time when the employment decision is made.
• The doctoral degree must be within electric power technology or related area, focusing on modeling, machine learning or optimization at power system.
• Documented experience of system development for analysis of large amounts of data, for example in Python or Julia.
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English in speech and writing when it is required in the daily work.

As a person, you are independent, creative and structured, and you cooperate well with colleagues and external parties. We are happy to have awareness of diversity and equal treatment issues with a particular focus on gender equality.

• Documented scientific skill in the field, substantiated by publications.
• Good knowledge of open source in the subject area, such as Pandapower, PowerSystemblocks, Grid2OP and / or CIM-based tools.
• Experience of using and developing data and calculation platforms: databases, containerization, version management and cloud or HPC resources.
• Experience of information models and protocols for data exchange in the electrical system, such as CIM, OpenAdr or OCPP.
• Experience of collaboration with industry or network companies in applied research.
• Educational experience, such as tutoring of students.

We will add great emphasis on personal qualities.
