Electrotechnical Engineering - Energy modelling in ports

Work description

• Identify and select the physical models that will serve as the basis for developing the energy consumption models, for example, for the Onshore Power Supply;
• Development of the algorithms that will allow the modelling of the consumption of the different assets and equipment that support the ports' logistics activities.
• Python implementation of the developed algorithms.
• Supporting the integration of the modules developed into energy management platforms and tools for ports.
• Prepare a scientific report on activities and write scientific articles.

Minimum profile required

• Basic knowledge of energy systems, namely demand models for different sectors and integration with decarbonized energy vectors;
• Knowledge of the Python programming language, or similar;
• Fluency in English (written and spoken);
