Cloud Solutions for Complex Power and Energy Systems Validation through Geographically Distributed Research Infrastructures
A three-year funded PhD in Cloud Solutions for Complex Power and Energy Systems Validation through Geographically Distributed Research Infrastructures is offered as part of an international collaboration between Strathclyde, TU Delft, RWTH Aachen University and Nanyang Technological University. Read more
Distributed energy resources optimisation
An urban or domestic district energy system typically consists of micro wind turbines (WT), PV panels, heat pumps (HP) and vehicle to grid (V2G) system for the residents. Read more
AI system for Vehicle to Grid power management
Artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches have been utilised for managing power systems, however, the introduction of the electric vehicle made power management more difficult due to the charging and utilisation of individual vehicles. Read more
Digital twins of power converters connected to Network Rail’s AC traction power supply
This PhD project will be undertaken in association with Network Rail. The number of power converters connected to the rail traction power network is expected to increase significantly over the next few years to integrated renewable power sources, storage devices, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Smart Local Energy Systems to Unlock Net Zero (RENU22-R/EE/MPEE/JIANG)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Fast computation for power system dynamic security assessment
Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) focuses on the stability of the power system over various timescales, from milliseconds up to a few minutes, usually requiring computationally intensive time domain simulations. Read more
Integration of renewables into energy systems-forecasting model development and analysis
With the introduction of legal binding emission reduction targets, power systems across the world will have to be decarbonised to meet the targets. Read more
Optimisation of power and control systems for high-speed motor/generators and Active Magnetic Bearings for sustainable and cost-effective aerospace propulsion systems Reference NEMA-01-2022
This PhD project is part of the. CDT in Sustainable Electric Propulsion. The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from within the. Read more
Delivering Sustainable Energy Solutions to Ports
Ports are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions as they commonly move up to 10,000 containers a day from ship to road or rail transport and correspondingly in the reverse direction from land transport onto ships. Read more
Holistic Condition Monitoring Methodology for Power System Assets using Machine Learning
Applications will remain open until a suitable candidate has been identified. Early applications are encouraged. Fulfilling the complex and numerous requirements of modern power systems is becoming increasingly more challenging, one of the primary contributors being the ageing infrastructure. Read more
Instant Generation of Systematic Flexibility Exchange Strategies for Grid Constraint Management
With the UK's new climate ambition to reach Net Zero emissions by 2050, a significant number of electricity-based loads, including electric vehicles (EVs) and electrical heat pumps, will be integrated in power networks in the near future. Read more
Safe and Secure IoT-enabled Smart Systems
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has received a lot of attention from industry and academia. It is envisaged that by 2025, over 80 billion devices around the globe will be connected to the Internet. Read more
PhD Studentships (x4) in System Services in 100% Renewable Grids - Fully funded studentships
Applications are invited for four PhD studentships, to be undertaken at Imperial College London (Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) Department). Read more
