Researcher

I am pleased to let you know of a position at INESC ID in Lisbon in the European Project AHEAD - AI-informed Holistic Electric Vehicles Integration Approaches for Distribution Grids.

The aim of this project is the development of AI solutions enabling the development of electric mobility considering the needs of the charging infrastructures and of the power grids. AHEAD will create a simulation environment capable of predicting the most convenient locations to place EV charging stations while optimising both the usage of the power grid resources and that of the charging stations in urban and rural areas. By placing cable-based and automated charging systems where the grid can support them, AHEAD will design and test innovative smart charging algorithms to minimise the impact of EV charging pools on the network while ensuring benefits for EV users.
