Electricity Grid Overhead Cable Insulator Acoustic Noise
In recent years, significant works have been carried out in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK to replace and upgrade older parts of the electricity distribution grid. Read more
Digital twin of heat pumps integrated with thermal energy storage
Electrification of heating supply will have massive impacts on the electricity grid. A highly electrified heating sector may cause large demand transient and peaks/troughs when many heat pumps are switched near-simultaneously, potentially destabilising the operation of networks. Read more
Sensing technology for Net Zero – addressing the challenges of floating offshore electricity transmission
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more
Market integration of grid-forming assets
The current energy transition is one of the most fundamental technological and societal challenges of modern times, and is commonly referred to as the 4th industrial revolution. Read more

Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more
Net zero housing retrofits - assuring a sustainable low-carbon transition in the domestic sector
The UK has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The UK's 29 million houses represent 14% of total emissions (CCC, 2019), with nearly 90% of these built more than 20 years ago before stricter energy efficiency standards came into force (Ince & Marvin, 2019). Read more
Investigating the impact of subharmonics induced by inverter-based resources to enable a renewables-led future power grid
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship, to be undertaken at Imperial College London (Control and Power Research Group, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering). Read more
Smart Grid Efficiency: Integrating AI and Automation
Smart Grid is the emerging next-generation power grid concept that uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. Read more
Predicting EV behaviour in Future Electricity Systems
It’s predicted that there will be 5 to 7 million battery electric vehicles (EVs) on UK roads in 2030, and that the electricity system will expect to require 25-45GW of within-day energy flexibility, a large proportion of which will need to be delivered by battery EVs. Read more
Mapping solar PV potential for existing buildings stocks in the UK by deep learning of satellite and aerial images data
Project Abstract. We are seeking an ambitious PhD candidate to join a cutting-edge research project aiming to map the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential for existing building stocks in the UK through the application of deep learning on satellite and aerial image data. Read more
A data-driven uncertainty-aware investment planning model in low-inertia power systems under security constraints
Transition to a zero-carbon electricity network necessitates deep integration of renewable resources with weather-dependent intermittent generation into the power system. Read more
In situ biomethanisation of CO2 for gaseous fuel transition and long-term carbon capture and utilisation
Supervisory Team. Dr Yue Zhang. In-situ CO2 biomethanisation, integrating CO2 biomethanisation with anaerobic digestion of biomass, supports the green energy transition and maximises the value of CO2 for renewable bio-products. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Electrolysis Technologies for H2 production Catalysed by Plastrons and Foams.
Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by water electrolysis using renewable electricity. Its production reduces dramatically CO. 2. Read more
AI-enabled digital technologies for the resilient operation of power systems
Are you interested in power system research for the future power grid operation? We have a recent PhD project opportunity at The University of Sheffield, a World leading Russell Group university in the UK. Read more
Advancing Retail Energy Markets for a Net-Zero Future
The transition to a decentralised, flexible, and consumer-driven retail energy market is a crucial element of achieving net-zero emissions. Read more
