I am seeking one highly qualified scientist as postdoctoral researcher
starting immediately. The position is part of Department of Energy
(DOE), California Energy Commission (CEC), and California Public
Utilities Commission (CSI) funded projects to facilitate solar energy
grid integration through solar energy forecasting and power grid
modeling. The goal is to reduce integration costs of high penetration
of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into the electric grid. Further
information about the Kleissl Solar Resources and Forecasting Lab can
be found at http://maeresearch.ucsd.edu/kleissl and
http://solar.ucsd.edu.
Experience in the following areas would be beneficial:
Radiative transfer models (3DRTM).
Numerical weather prediction (WRF, data assimilation).
Marine stratocumulus meteorology.
Image processing (image segmentation, optical flow).
Electric power flow models (OpenDSS, quasi-steady state, optimization).
Forecasts of solar photovoltaic output will be generated for
minutes-ahead using sky imagers and hours and days-ahead using the
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (see related
publications at http://maeresearch.ucsd.edu/kleissl/pubs/pubs.html).
The successful candidate will work with colleagues at NREL, Sandia
National Lab, DOE, utilities, and industry on joint projects and
present at national and international conferences such as IEEE Power
Engineering Society,
American Solar Energy Society, and American Meteorological Society.
The postdoctoral fellow will have access to unique solar resource
databases and observatories such as 1-sec inverter-level output from
the 48 MW Copper Mountain Photovoltaic plant, a solar resource network
at UC San Diego including 9 pyranometers, two advanced UCSD sky
imagers, cloud speed sensors, a radiometer, an atmospheric profiler,
and various sky imager deployments in Oklahoma (ARM), Hawai'i, and
California.
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in a relevant discipline
(atmospheric science, meteorology, physics, environmental, electrical,
or mechanical engineering) that was conferred no more than 4 years ago
or have submitted their thesis at the time of appointment.
Collaborative opportunities exist with the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography Center for Atmospheric Sciences, the research groups of
Profs. Coimbra and Arias-Castro.
To apply, please submit a short description of qualifications, CV
including list of peer-reviewed publications, and list of three
referees by April 30th 2014 to jkleissl@ucsd.edu. Further information
about the position can be obtained from Professor Jan Kleissl,
jkleissl@ucsd.edu. Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled.
