11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Resource-integrated Energy Scenarios
Summary of PhD Program:
The energy transition needs new and, in particular, critical materials for energy technologies. This is why possible restrictions on the availability of materials must be considered from the beginning. Hence, materials in energy scenarios should be modeled integrally. Therefore, as part of this doctoral thesis, the materials required for the energy transition will be collected, analyzed and integrated into the institute`s own energy system model ETHOS.FINE ( https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE ) in order to find transformation scenarios without material bottlenecks.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Replacing lost material flows within the energy transition
Summary of PhD Program:
The energy transition not only generates new demand for materials, but also phase out material flows such as gypsum production in coal-fired power plants. These lost material flows must be suitably replaced. To ensure that this replacement is compatible with the energy transition, substitution options must be systematically investigated with the help of energy scenarios. Therefore, this doctoral thesis will identify the phased out material flows and substitution options and integrate them into the institute`s own energy system model ETHOS.FINE ( https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE ) in order to find transformation scenarios without material gaps.

Moreover, the flexibility of decentralized energy sources, coupled with the increasing emphasis on incorporating self-sufficiency in buildings and energy-intensive technologies, has significant implications on distribution grids. Moreover, these changes would impact the reliability of the distribution grids and introduce challenges in resolving issues associated with the volatility of grid development and reinforcement.
