Project background
The transition to future renewable energy sources-based power systems is crucial for achieving sustainable and environmentally friendly power generation. Hybrid Power Plants (HPPs) combining multiple generation sources, such as wind power plants, photovoltaic systems, and battery energy storage systems behind a single grid connection point are becoming popular due to their capability to provide additional value for both plant owners and power systems compared to individual renewable technology plants.
Modern renewable energy systems are becoming increasingly complex. Integrating and coordinating various renewable energy assets to provide system services introduces additional layers of complexity and poses significant control challenges — particularly when combining multiple technologies, as is the case in HPPs. Traditional control architectures struggle to coordinate fast, local responses with slower, system-wide actions, often leading to inefficiencies. Communication delays and interoperability issues between different vendors add further challenges.
To address this, the objective of the PhD project is to develop a simplified and scalable control solution for next-generation HPPs, using a two-layer control architecture to streamline operations, reduce communication delays, lower costs, and enhance the reliability, efficiency, adaptability, and overall performance of renewable energy systems
As part of the WindConnect research consortium you will interact with researchers and experts across the network. This requires strong collaboration and communication skills, enabling you to contribute to the ambitious goals of the project. You will also have the opportunity to cooperate with leading European research institutes and are expected to undertake external research stays of approximately 6–9 months at other partners within the consortium.
Responsibilities and qualifications
During your PhD studies, you will model and develop a technology-agnostic control architecture for utility-scale HPPs, enabling direct communication with individual assets.
You are expected to model the state-of-the-art control architecture for utility-scale HPPs, identify its challenges in terms of dynamic performance and grid service provision, develop a new simplified HPP controller, address interoperability issues across control and operational layers, and quantify the performance of the developed controller. Your work will involve both theoretical analysis and simulation-based validation of the proposed control method.
As part of your PhD studies, you will publish your work in reputed journals and present it at peer-reviewed scientific conferences. A detailed project plan will be developed with the supervisors within the first two months after enrolment.
You will also play important supporting role in the deliverables of IEA Wind Task 50 on Hybrid Power Plants.

Project background
Hybrid power plants (HPPs), combining wind, solar, and energy storage behind a single grid connection, are gaining traction for their potential to increase energy yield and profitability. With multiple converters and technologies, HPPs offer enhanced capabilities for advanced grid services. However, control and coordination across diverse assets remain a major challenge, especially for emerging services like black start. Research in this area is still in its early stages, presenting exciting opportunities for innovation.
As conventional fossil-fuel generators are phased out, converter-connected renewable sources like wind power must take on critical power system services such as black start and system restoration. While black start capabilities from individual renewable plants are being explored, research on HPPs in this context is nearly absent. Delivering black start from HPPs requires coordinated control across diverse technologies and storage systems, with careful management of stability, transient behavior, and system stress. Control modes must adapt across different phases of black start, while accounting for uncertain renewable resource availability and interoperability across multiple control layers.
To address this, the objective of this project is to develop a black start strategy for hybrid power plants (HPPs), focusing on control, protection, and system stability. It will model a utility-scale HPP that includes an offshore wind power plant, an onshore solar power plant, and onshore energy storage systems, all relevant for black start studies. The project will develop electromagnetic transient (EMT), root mean square (RMS), and statistical models to support control and stability analysis for black start service provision.
As part of the WindConnect research consortium you will interact with researchers and experts across the network. This requires strong collaboration and communication skills, enabling you to contribute to the ambitious goals of the project. You will also have the opportunity to cooperate with leading European research institutes and are expected to undertake external research stays of approximately 6–9 months at other partners within the consortium.
Responsibilities and qualifications
During your PhD studies, you will model and develop advanced operational strategies needed for an HPP for a reliable black start.
You are expected to identify the potential of utility-scale, multi-technology HPPs to provide black start services. It will model an HPP combining offshore wind, onshore solar, and energy storage systems, tailored for black start studies. A comprehensive black start strategy will be developed, addressing control coordination, technology interaction, and controller stability to support system restoration. Finally, the project will quantify the added value of black start services from HPPs compared to single-technology renewable plants, emphasizing improved availability and reliability.
As part of your PhD studies, you will publish your work in reputed journals and present it at peer-reviewed scientific conferences. A detailed project plan will be developed with the supervisors within the first two months after enrollment.
You will also play important supporting role in the deliverables of IEA Wind Task 50 on Hybrid Power Plants.
