About the position

Through a collaboration agreement between CERN and NorCC (Norwegian Centre for CERN-related Research), this position is one of a number of jointly-funded NTNU-CERN PhD vacancies in the field of the technological sciences (engineering projects). The successful candidate will spend 18 months at NTNU and 18 months at CERN, while remaining active in the PhD Programme at both institutions for the full 36 months. For the position of PhD Candidate, the goal is the completion of doctoral education at NTNU and CERN, including an obtained doctoral degree from NTNU.

A jointly-funded NTNU-CERN PhD vacancy is available at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics at NTNU on the topic of Model Predictive Control for Energy Optimization in Cooling and Ventilation Systems.

There has been considerable effort recently to reduce energy consumption at CERN, which currently stands at roughly 1.3 TWh per year.  One attractive means to achieve this, which typically also requires minimal capital expenditure, is to improve control algorithms.  At CERN, cooling and ventilation applications account for a considerable proportion of electrical consumption (in the order of 100 GWh per year). Improving control systems for these applications could therefore enable considerable energy savings.  A recent pilot implementation of Model Predictive Control (MPC) on an Air Handling Unit (AHU) at CERN has demonstrated promising results with respect to energy savings.  The focus of this project will be to investigate how MPC may be efficiently implemented for large numbers of similar installations.

Your immediate leader at CERN will be Dr. Brad Schofield, and at NTNU Prof. Morten Hovd.

Duties of the position


	Develop methodology for efficient roll-out of the piloted control methodology.  At CERN there is a large number of AHUs, of several different designs, and operating in different environments.
	Continue to develop energy-optimal advanced controllers for other process areas, in cooperation with the equipment groups.
	Be admitted to and, within the timeframe of the project, completing the requirements of the PhD programme in Engineering Cybernetics at NTNU 


Required qualifications


	You must have a Master’s degree or equivalent in Engineering Cybernetics or Control Engineering with a strong background in industrial control systems, or a Master’s degree in process technology (from Mechanical or Chemical Engineering) with a strong background in control and optimization.
	Your education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree program, where 120 credits are obtained at master's level
	You must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education.
	You must meet the requirements for admission to the NTNU PhD programme in Engineering Cybernetics.
	You must have good written and oral English language skills. Applicants from non-English speaking countries outside EU/EEA/Switzerland must provide documentation of English language proficiency, in terms of an approved test (such as TOEFL, IELTS, or similar).
