Optimizing Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems for Widespread Access to Potable Water
Há 19 horas
At CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay, we are seeking a talented researcher to join our team in the field of renewable energy systems and water resource sustainability. This PhD position is focused on developing an optimal large-scale deployment approach for photovoltaic water pumping systems (PVWPSs) to improve access to drinking water in Africa.
The current situation in Africa is dire, with over 300 million people lacking access to clean drinking water, mainly in remote areas. PVWPSs offer a promising solution to address this challenge, but existing research has primarily focused on local installations. To tackle this issue at a larger scale, our goal is to create a comprehensive approach that maximizes the number of people with access to drinking water while keeping system costs low and ensuring long-term environmental sustainability.
This interdisciplinary project combines expertise in renewable energy systems, water resource management, computer science, and social sciences. The successful candidate will work closely with our supervisors, Dr. Simon Meunier and Dr. Evelyne Lutton, as well as international collaborators from Stanford University, the British Geological Survey, and the World Bank.
To achieve the final goal of this PhD thesis, you will develop and formalize a multi-criteria optimization problem, incorporating technical, environmental, social, and economic factors. You will also propose a method to solve this optimization problem efficiently, using surrogate models of progressive granularity. Once the optimal deployment approach is developed, it will be integrated into a tool for local stakeholders.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with experience in energy engineering, environmental sciences, or computer science. You should have good oral and written communication skills in English and be willing to develop skills in other disciplines during your PhD. The estimated salary for this position is approximately €3,500 per month, based on the location in Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
The starting date of the PhD is flexible, and you should begin during the year 2025. The thesis is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), and you will have the opportunity to collaborate with international experts and organizations. If you are passionate about renewable energy, water resource management, and making a positive impact on society, we encourage you to apply for this exciting PhD opportunity.
Besides the monthly salary, you can expect a range of benefits, including:
- A generous package of leave days
- Access to top-notch research facilities and equipment
- Opportunities for professional development and networking
Don't miss this chance to join our vibrant research community and contribute to a better future for all. Apply now to take the first step towards an exciting and rewarding career in renewable energy and water resource sustainability
