The Energy Economics and System Analysis section (EESY), placed in the Sustainability Division at DTU Management, invites applications for a position as a Professor in ‘Energy System Analysis’. The section provides tools and expertise, supporting national and international policymaking in the green transition of energy systems. The section offers an excellent research environment with international staff, postdocs, and PhD students. 

The overall research question of the Section is how energy systems can be decarbonized, and how to design and operate systems and markets with large amounts of variable renewable energy. The Section performs energy system analyses integrating all energy carriers and sectors that, at the same time, enable cost-efficient integration of low-carbon technologies in the energy system. This provides decision support for diverse stakeholders from both policymaking and industry in the context of the energy transition.

Hereby, the research addresses some of the main challenges for supporting the green energy transition, for example considering the stochastic supply from renewable technologies, the increasing need for flexibility in the energy system, and how regulation can support the green transition of energy systems. The Section combines competences within systems analyses, market design, regulation, econometrics, operations management, and energy technology assessment.
