power system monitoring
Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe’s biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
At the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems - Energy Systems Engineering (ICE-1) we focus on the development of models and algorithms for simulation and optimization of decentralized, integrated energy systems. Such systems are characterized by high shares of renewable energies and increasing sector coupling, which leads to high spatial and temporal variability of energy supply and demand as well as a high degree of interdependence of material and energy flows. Our research at the ICE-1 aims to provide scalable and faster-than-real-time capable methods and tools that enable the energy-optimal, cost-efficient, and safe design and operation of future energy systems.

Activities and responsibilities
Maintaining an efficient, sustainable, and stable energy supply requires integrating various technologies, which poses complex challenges for modern energy systems. In particular, given the limited observability of the energy systems advanced monitoring solutions are needed to observe the behavior of the entire system in order to provide reliable data for system monitoring and control.
In this framework, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), thanks to the cryptographic protocol, can play a key role in ensuring safe communication between the monitoring devices and the control room.
We are currently seeking a PhD student for the following research topics:
