Research Fellow in Modelling and Optimisation of Energy Systems with Thermal Energy Storage - Birmingham, United Kingdom - University of Birmingham
Description
Salary: Full time starting salary is normally in the range £34,980 to £44,263 with potential progression once in post to £46,974
Closes: 5th May 2024
Fixed Term Contract up to February 2026
Role Summary
We are recruiting a highly motivate researcher to join the teams at the University of Birmingham and projects funded by EPSRC and Horizon Europe (EPSRC Supergen Energy Networks Hub; THUMBS UP). The researcher will join the School of Chemical Engineering, the Birmingham Energy Institute, and Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage.
Deep emission reduction is ubiquitously associated with the need of development and adoption of efficient zero-carbon energy technologies and thermal energy storage, particularly in local multi-energy systems (industrial clusters and energy districts). This is exemplified by national and international strategies toward decarbonization.
The researcher is expected to contribute to develop and develop of models, based on existing and new simulation environments, for simulation and tecno-economic optimization of multi-energy systems with zero-carbon technologies (Heat pumps, PV, Power-to-X) and energy storage.
