JOB DESCRIPTION ESR 6
Job Title: PhD position in Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN MEAN4SG: Postgraduate Research on
Virtual Power Plant applications
Job Summary: The PhD candidate will work on the development of replicable solutions for optimal
management of distributed energy resources at customer sites, coordinated with
larger generation assets, enabling the provision of energy services to the ancillary
services market, following a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept.
Solutions will be scalable and applicable to different and heterogeneous contexts,
from a geographical, social and economical point of view and will demonstrate the
whole energy services value chain.
Job Description: The successful candidate will be employed for three years (36 months) and will receive
a generous financial package including an additional mobility allowance according to
the rules for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in an EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Innovative Training Networks (ITN)

msca_en.pdf.
The candidate will be hosted at Enel R&I facilities, located in Pisa, Italy. As part of the
intra-network training of the MEAN4SG project, the candidate will carry out the
following:
- identification of interaction schemes that may allow customer active participation to
the electric markets
- Modeling of customer capabilities to interact in active demand response programs
and development of predictive algorithms to estimate actual customer
willingness/capabilities to offer flexibility on the market
- Development of decision support system that identify optimal customer’s resources
configuration/set-point and of an energy brokerage tool to allow VPP interaction with
energy and services market
- Development and integration of steady-state and real time tools in a distributed
intelligence system to guarantee customer heat and power supply and to enable
interaction with Virtual Power Plant centralized manager
- Validation of developed tools
2 secondments will take place during the 36 months of employment:
- 1st Secondment (6 months), hosted by University of Genova (IT), DITEN (Department
of Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture),
the Academic institution that will be in charge of the doctoral program related to the
present job vacancy
- 2nd Secondment (3-4 months), hosted by Laboratoire National de Métrologie et
d’Essais- LNE (FR)
