@sbi Great thread! I've become somewhat convinced that a certain amount of overbuilding of renewables is inevitable in the energy transition (https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/02/15/curtailment-is-not-the-enemy/) but this is an important piece of the puzzle.
Not sure if the available roles would be up your alley, but fwiw my current employer (DERs aka demand response) is hiring for some engineering positions: https://www.voltus.co/jobs -- primarily North America-based but we have some Europeans.

@wlach Yes, you need to have some overcapacity in renewables if you want a higher penetration. And curtailing is necessary in order to protect your grid. Interesting article! Thanks for pointing out that job. However, this is all about DB's and financial stuff, whereas I love tweaking dispatch algorithms to get the maximum out of the available assets in a microgrid. :-(
