General information

Organisation

The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.

Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.

The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description

The decarbonization of energy systems relies on technico-economic and environmental studies spanning 20 to 25 years. A major scientific challenge lies in coupling climate and energy modeling in these studies. The objective of this thesis will be to develop a groundbreaking methodology that integrates climate science model projections and their variability into the design of energy systems at various scales (local and national).

 

This research will be divided into three main parts. First, it will assess the impact of climate change on energy production, conversion, transport, and storage technologies. Second, it will develop a methodological framework to select and integrate the diversity of climate scenarios into energy models, enabling the evaluation of their impacts. Finally, it will evaluate the severity of extreme climate events by analyzing their magnitude and frequency of occurrence in the models. This work will contribute to improving the robust design of energy systems under climate constraints and applying it to case studies.
