PhD Fellow in AI-Automated Voltage Control for Future Distribution Networks

The position A PhD position is available at the Department of Electrical Engineering , Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology in AI-Automated Voltage Control (VC) for Future Distribution Networks. The position is for a period of three years. The objective of the position is to complete research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to the PhD programme is a prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position. The workplace is at UiT in Narvik. You must be able to start in the position within a reasonable time after receiving the offer. The position’s field of research The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and flexible loads is making distribution networks more dynamic and challenging to operate using conventional voltage regulation methods. To address growing voltage variability and the limitations of traditional controllers, this PhD project proposes the development of advanced AI-
