										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><strong>About the position </strong></p>
<p>The Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) has a vacancy for a two-year postdoctoral scholarship within the Sustainable Energy System (SES) group.  The research activity in the SES group ranges from energy storage to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings.  The postdoctoral position is part of the knowledge-building project NORGIBATF, led by the SES group in collaboration with the Norwegian battery manufacturing industry (FREYR, BEYONDER, NORSIRK, Nordic Mining and Norsk Hydro).  Several Norwegian industries are planning large scale (GWh) battery cell factories to produce batteries for export.  The NORGIBATF project aims to support these industries by developing competence in energy-efficient battery cell production and enabling a world-leading research environment within industrial battery production in Norway.</p>
<p>Current battery factories are equipped with a dry room where several important steps of the battery cell assembly are performed.  The relative humidity (RH) in dry rooms should be kept extremely low (< 1% RH) to prevent impairing the long-term battery performance.  Keeping such a low RH is an energy-intensive process that represents a large share of the embodied energy in a battery.  Therefore, <strong>the research aims at improving the energy efficiency of dry rooms.</strong></p>
<p>The main research activity is based on <strong>systems analysis</strong> where the hygrothermal dynamics of the dry room and the HVAC system will be investigated together.  This will be done using detailed <strong>dynamic simulations</strong> (e.g. Modelica or IDA-ICE), calibrated on field measurements that will serve as virtual experiments.  The objective of the simulations is to enable improvements in the <strong>design and operation of dry rooms</strong>.  The research may also focus on the <strong>ventilation air distribution</strong> in dry rooms, in order to optimize the air distribution to keep the RH below the limit at all locations in the dry room while minimizing the flow rate.</p>
<p>The Head of Department is Professor Terese Løvås.  The day-to-day position management is by Associate Professors Bjørn Austbø and Laurent Georges.  The NORGIBATF project is managed by Professor Odne Burheim, head of the SES group.</p>
<p>The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.  </p>

<p>The much-anticipated Battery Bluff park in the Presidio opens to the public today. </p>
<p>The 6-acre site features gardens, picnic tables and a majestic view of the Golden Gate, and marks the second of three sections to be opened around the restored site at what was once Doyle Drive. </p>
<p>Seven acres of tidal marsh opened at Quartermaster Reach in December of 2020. The final 14-acre park atop the Presidio Parkway tunnels, Presidio Tunnel Tops, is set to open in July.</p>

<p>&#8220;Yes, I&#8217;m wearing heels in a park,&#8221; joked Mayor London Breed at a clear sunny day at the site yesterday, in front of the old batteries.  &#8220;I&#8217;m in awe of this view, and the magic of what I feel today.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;People come from all over the world to experience the best that San Francisco has to offer. They come for the sheer beauty, access to green and open space, and to visit some of the best urban parks in the country,&#8221; Breed said.  &#8220;Now, everyone will have more to look forward to and greater access to this national park with the historic renovation of Battery Bluff.&#8221;</p>

<p>Built in 1936 as a New Deal project, the original Doyle Drive connected San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge, but by the 1990s it was deemed both an eyesore and one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the city.  Before it was finally torn down, federal highway officials gave it a safety rating of 2 out of 100. The park project to restore the site has taken numerous agencies and more than 30 years.  The park was designed by late landscape architect Michael Painter. </p>

<p>Four historic gun battery sites, Slaughter, Baldwin, Sherwood and Blaney, are now on view at the site for the first time since the construction of Doyle Drive began in 1936. Built between 1899 and 1902, the batteries were part of the US Army&#8217;s coastal defense system around the Golden Gate to protect San Francisco Bay.</p>

<p>&#8220;We are so grateful for the collaborative efforts of countless public servants and community members working together over decades to reimagine San Francisco&#8217;s northern waterfront,&#8221; said Jean Fraser, CEO of the Presidio Trust, in a statement.  &#8220;Thanks to that work, the Trust was able to create more park amenities for the enjoyment of all visitors. We look forward to unveiling the final gem, the Presidio Tunnel Tops, later this year.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><strong>About the position </strong></p>
<p>The SES group has a broad activity including battery technology as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in buildings.  The postdoctoral position is part of the NORGIBATF knowledge-building project led by SES in collaboration with the Norwegian battery manufacturing industry (FREYR, BEYONDER, NORSIRK, Nordic Mining and Norsk Hydro).  Several Norwegian industries are planning large scale (GWh) battery cell factories to produce batteries for export.  This could enable new industries to emerge in Norway.  The NORGIBATF project aims to support these industries by developing competence into energy-efficient battery cell production and enable a world-leading research environment within industrial battery production in Norway.</p>
<p>We have a vacancy for a<strong> two-year postdoctoral position</strong>.  The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.</p>
<p>Current battery factories are equipped with a dry room where several important steps of the cell assembly are performed.  The relative humidity (RH) in dry rooms should be kept extremely low (< 1% RH) to prevent the humidity to alter the long-term battery performance.  Keeping such a low RH is an energy-intensive process that represents a large share of the embodied energy in a battery (up to 40%).  Therefore, the research aims at improving the energy efficiency of dry rooms.</p>
<p>Two research activities are targeted:</p>
<ul>
<li>The main research activity is based on a system analysis where the hygrothermal dynamics of the dry room and the HVAC system will be investigated together.  This will be done using detailed dynamic simulations (eg Modelica or IDA-ICE), calibrated on field measurements, that will serve as virtual experiments.  These simulations will enable to derive energy-efficiency measures to improve the design and operation of dry rooms.</li>
<li>The secondary activity will investigate the ventilation air distribution in the dry room using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calibrated on field measurements.  The air distribution should be optimized to keep the RH below the threshold at all locations in the dry room for a minimum airflow rate.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Head of Department is Professor Terese Løvås.  The day-to-day position management is by Associate Professors Laurent Georges and Bjørn Austbø.  The NORGIBATF project is managed by Professor Odne Burheim, head of the SES group.</p>
<p><strong>Duties of the position</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop a virtual dynamic model of a dry room calibrated on a real test case</li>
<li>Perform field measurements to support the development of the model</li>
<li>Analysis of the energy-efficiency of dry rooms to optimize their design and operation</li>
<li>Analysis of the ventilation airflow distribution in dry rooms</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Required selection criteria</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD </li>
<li>You must have a professionally relevant background in HVAC engineering or dynamic analysis of industry processes (eg from process, cybernetic or control engineering)</li>
<li>Proficient user of dynamic simulation tools like Modelica, TRNSYS or IDA ICE</li>
<li>Excellent written and oral English, TOEFL (minimum 95) or IELTS (minimum 6.5)</li>
<li>The selected candidate is expected to start the position during spring 2022</li>
</ul>
