ppbDense urban areas demand user-friendly charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Join our team to push forward Europe's electromobility transition by developing wireless charging solutions /b /ph3Job description /h3pWireless power transfer (WPT)-based electric vehicle charging provides a user-friendly, seamlessly integrated into the urban landscape and cost-effective solution for urban environment. When combined with bi-directional charging feature, the WPT-based charging infrastructure enables a quick and grid integrated roll‑out and can be a game‑changer technology for passenger cars (static, especially overnight) and for fleets (stationary, daytime). There are still several challenges to be addressed before the mass deployment of WPT chargers including foreign object detection, interoperability and electromagnetic compliances. /ppThe postdoc will work on the design of the WPT system, particularly on the foreign and living object detection subsystem, charger ground unit and system validation in collaboration with industrial partners. /ppThis postdoc is co-funded by a Horizon Europe project. Together with 22 other academic and industrial partners this project aims at developing wireless charging demonstrators in several European cities. /ppThe postdoc will work in the DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCES) group of the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy at TU Delft. The research in the department is inspired by the technical, scientific, and societal challenges originating from the transition towards a more sustainable society and focuses on four areas: /pulliDC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCES) /liliIntelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG) /liliHigh Voltage Technologies (HVT) /liliPhotovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD) /li /ulpThe department owns a large ESP Laboratory assembling High Voltage testing, DC Grids testing environment, and large RTDS that is actively used for real‑time simulation of future electrical power systems, AC and DC protection and wide‑area monitoring and protection. The DCES group is responsible for research and education in the fields of DC systems, high voltage technology, energy storage, electronic power conversion (power electronics), and electromechanics. DC systems is a multidisciplinary field of research, exploring the integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage (electric vehicles) in DC networks and systems and future DC transmission grids. The group is currently active in applications such as Direct Current distribution and transmission grids and microgrids, electrification of mobility (charging of electric vehicles), and renewable generation of electrical energy (such as wind and solar energy). /ph3Job requirements /h3pWho are we looking for? /pulliYou have a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline from a well‑established university. /liliA solid background in wireless power transfer, power electronics or motor drives and the development of experimental setups. /liliExcellent English and programming skills are a requirement. /liliA combination of excellent mathematical and analytical skills. /li /ulh3TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) /h3pDelft University of Technology is built on strong foundations.
