PhD position within second life prospect of degraded Lithium-Ion batteries
- Norge
- Midlertidlig
- Fulltid
- Conduct research on battery degradation and develop methodologies for estimating remaining useful life.
- Categorize degraded batteries based on historical stresses (thermal and electrical) and predict their performance for second-life applications.
- Plan and execute experiments on categorized degraded batteries to identify suitable second-life applications, considering both predicted performances and the requirements of secondary applications.
- Compare and analyze the predictions of secondary life with experimental results to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies and identify areas for improvement.
- Independent research on the second-life potential of degraded Lithium-ion batteries in appropriate applications. Possibilities may include integrating degraded batteries with non-degraded ones, employing suitable power electronics, and developing novel battery management algorithms.
- Plan and execute lab experiments for second-life potential of degraded Lithium-ion batteries.
- Conduct high-quality scientific research and publish results in reputable research journals and conferences.
- If required, collaborate with internal and external partners for joint research activities.
- A Master's degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Physics or related. Foreign degrees must correspond with the a
