    PhD Position Adaptive Optimization and Control of Offshore Energy Systems

    Delft University of Technology

    Delft, NetherlandsDeadline 22 Oct 2026

    The Netherlands targets using only sustainable energy by 2050, yet 161 offshore oil and gas facilities are still active. Integrating renewables into their daily operation during phase-out can reduce environmental impact but introduces additional uncertainty, requiring costly and time-consuming implementation of new controllers as existing infrastructure is already equipped with functioning control structures. The central question now is: How can we enable practical implementation of optimization-based control in offshore energy systems with integrated renewables by building on existing control
