About the job

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

The Department of Marine Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacancy for a PhD candidate for the EU funded project “Smart, Aware, Integrated Wind Farm Control Interacting with Digital Twins (ICONIC)”.

The ICONIC project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Actions, the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee scheme, and Innosuisse. The consortium aims to develop innovative digital and physical tools to achieve fundamental breakthroughs for the integrated control of wind farms, considering the whole physical system at farm, turbine, and component levels, in particular the complex aerodynamic interactions among turbines. The proposed integrated control solutions will be demonstrated by an extensive validation study via high-fidelity simulation models, experiments at a national-level wind tunnel, historical operational data, and real-world wind farm field tests.

The main task of this PhD project is to develop an integrated digital twin for estimating online loads and the remaining useful life of critical components of wind turbine. This PhD project is supervised by Professor Amir R. Nejad.
