PhD Position in Multi-functional Hydropower Reservoirs

In this PhD project, you will tackle the critical challenge of balancing hydropower energy production with competing water demands, such as irrigation and flood control, in reservoirs impacted by climate change and extreme weather events. Hydropower plays a vital role in the global energy transition, providing essential renewable energy and supporting grid balancing between supply and demand. However, its reliability is increasingly threatened by changes in water availability and the emergence of extreme conditions, such as droughts and floods, which complicate reservoir management.
