Job title PhD in Marine Technology – Response Estimation and Wave Prediction for Offshore Wind Farm Installation and Operations. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a 3-year PhD position focused on response estimation based on remote distributed sensing of the wave field in an offshore wind park, in combination with metocean forecasting data. Cost- and risk-optimal installation and operation of offshore wind farms depend on accurate forecasts and predictions of environmental conditions and response of vessel and auxiliary systems. Improved sea-state and wave prediction can lead to real-time solutions for prediction of motion responses and wave loads during installation tasks such as turbine/blade installation as well as mooring and cable installation. The research task will further investigate exploitation of such methods for...

Job title PhD in Integrated Wind Turbine Modelling Tools for Drivetrain Health Monitoring. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a 3-year PhD position focused on developing near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole offshore wind turbine system and environmental loading for early fault detection in drivetrains. An offshore wind turbine installation is the result of a two-stage design process. As turbines get larger, the interaction between machinery and structure becomes more important. It is common practice to use a very simplified model of drivetrain in global analysis tools and ignore the coupling effects, often due to model complexity. This project is based on earlier experience in drivetrain and global models, aiming to build near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole system and...

Job title Doctoral Researcher / Ocean Modeller. Company Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Marine Dynamics Group, Marine Research Unit. Description of the job The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is seeking a doctoral researcher for a fixed-term contract in the Marine Dynamics Group of the Marine Research Unit. The main duties are in the DTO4OWE (Digital Twin of the Ocean for Offshore Wind Energy) project funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, which brings together institutes from 9 different countries to study Digital Twins of the Baltic and North Seas for Offshore Wind Energy. The main task is numerical modelling of the Baltic Sea to study the effects of offshore wind energy. This will include development and validation of the NEMO ocean model for the Baltic Sea. Other tasks can potentially include, depending on interests and skills, development of machine learning and deep learning based methods to assess the effects of offshore wind...
