Your tasks
The researcher will participate in a project under the NCCR Automation consortium, collaborating with Principal Investigators from FHNW and ETHZ. The research project is dedicated to designing multi-objective controllers to optimize the efficiency, reliability, and lifespan of electric vehicles.
The individual will tackle the challenge of defining reliability and lifespan models for electric vehicle components, including batteries, converters, and capacitors. They will utilize various time and frequency domain control techniques to integrate these sustainability criteria into the design phase. They will also establish optimal, reconfigurable operating profiles for different driving conditions, highlighting the controller's adaptability. The researcher will be involved in national research projects within the NCCR framework, which will include collaboration with other NCCR researchers at ETH, EPFL, and EMPA. The initial contract will be for two years, with the option for renewal.
Responsibilities Include
* Developing an optimal system layout for facilitating decentralized control and optimal operation of a network of power converters with generators, storage, and loads.
* Creating a switched systems model of a reconfigurable grid and designing adaptive controllers.
* Writing scientific papers.
* Collaborating with other researchers within the NCCR network.
Your profile
Required
