Job description

DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook is our annual independent forecast of the world’s energy future. It combines a global system dynamics model with expertise from across DNV to provide insights for decision-makers in industry, government and research.

As an Energy Modelling Researcher, you will work with internal and external experts on the model and generate insights for the Energy Transition Outlook, related publications and other projects. The position is based in the Oslo area.

Key tasks:

• Maintain, update, further develop and document DNV's system dynamics simulation model of the global energy transition, with a particular focus on the power sector
• Understand, validate and improve model behaviour through calibration, testing and investigation of the feedback loops and dynamics driving model results
• Develop new model structures and functionalities to address emerging energy transition challenges and research questions, both within the main model and in side models
• Research and assess energy technologies, markets, developments, policies and consumer behaviour in the power sector and wider energy transition
• Process, analyse and visualise model input and output data
• Collaborate with internal and external experts to improve the representation of technologies, costs, policies, markets and consumer behaviour in the model
• Develop model-based analysis and insights for DNV's Energy Transition Outlook and related publications
• Write sections of the annual Energy Transition Outlook report and related publications
• Present model results and energy transition insights to internal and external stakeholders
• Support the application of Energy Transition Outlook analysis and results in commercial projects
