Description Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is a technology that allows electric vehicles (EVs) to not only draw power from the grid for charging but also feed stored energy back to the grid, supporting energy balance, grid stability, and renewable integration. V2G promises valuable grid services, but the gap between theoretical control concepts and actual hardware performance is not fully explored. The main objective of this thesis is to experimentally evaluate a V2G system under realistic operating conditions. An advanced real-time simulation hardware platform will be employed in this thesis project, serving as both the control system and the digital model of the grid and vehicle-side systems. Such a platform represents an intermediate step between offline simulation and real vehicle operation. Execution Step 1 – Experimental setup * Set up and configure the real-time simulation hardware and software platform. * Operate the system to demonstrate stable bidirectional charging in the lab. * Perform experimental validation to confirm successful commissioning and reliable system operation. Step 2 – Experimental operation * Define and implement selected existing V2G bidirectional charging strategies. * Evaluate the performance of these strategies by analyzing how the system tracks applied charge/discharge power commands (steps, ramps, and realistic profiles). * Quantify system efficiency and losses, including round-trip efficiency, standby losses, and operational stability limits. Expected outcome The thesis will deliver a validated experimental setup along with quantitative evaluation of system capabilities and limitations. Required skills * Basic control systems and power electronics * MATLAB/Simulink modeling * Hands-on lab work and data analysis * Interest in real-time systems and experimentation. Experience with dSpace is very meriting. Personal interest in real-time control and energy system simulation is considered a merit. The work will be carried out in Gothenburg. The thesis is recommended for one or two students. The application deadline is September 30th, 2026.

Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Third-cycle subject area: Forest management Description of the doctoral project:   Swedish society is debating the long-term capacity of even-aged conifer-dominated forestry to reliably produce biomass over the coming century, and simultaneously sustain the breadth of ecosystem services that society increasingly demands from forestlands. Alternative approaches to production forests, such as restoration of broadleaved forests are thus of growing interest. The increased use of such alternatives may enhance the overall resilience of Swedish forests to projected climate change, better balance the provision of forest ecosystem services, provide vital habitat for forest biodiversity, and thereby help ensure forest ecosystem services delivery over the coming century. The EU Nature restoration Regulation and Sweden's national environmental goals, provide official recognition of the urgent need to restore and improve the ecological condition of forest ecosystems across Europe. Our goal with this project is to identify cost-effective paths forward for the regeneration and restoration of new mixed broadleaved dominated forests. About the position: We intend to contrast passive versus active pathways for restoring such diverse forests. To address such issues, we will use existing experiments, chronosequences, and survey-data for evaluating the effects from restoration on ecosystem services and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of international researchers. We are looking for a person who, as part of a PhD, will address these challenges, but we welcome those who bring specific research interests which can shape the ultimate direction of the PhD. Requirements: To meet the general entry requirements you must have been awarded a second-cycle (Master's) qualification, satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39). You must also meet the equivalent English language requirements as those necessary for the Swedish upper-secondary qualification Engelska B/6.
