PhD Scholarship in Offshore Wind Engineering, Civil & Structural Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/Software Engineering– PhD (Funded) Ref: 5351
Project Description. This PhD project aims to address key engineering and environmental challenges in the offshore wind sector. Successful candidates will contribute to pioneering research that supports the sustainable growth of offshore wind energy, both in the UK and globally. Read more
Evaluation of Corrosion-Fatigue Behaviour in Offshore Wind Turbine Substructures
University of Strathclyde
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures
Originally, the inside surface of offshore wind turbine structures was designed to be dry, and so ‘in air’ fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) laws should have been relevant. Read more
An integrated geological characterization of the Irish continental shelf: implications for offshore marine resources and renewable energy
Research Group:
Geography and Environmental Studies
As nations around the world seek to harness offshore renewable energy, the development of the continental shelf has accelerated significantly. Read more
Smart integration of geotechnical and geophysical parameters across kilometre-scale offshore wind farms
Project overview. Geoscience plays a pivotal role in delivering offshore wind power. The aim of this project is to optimise the characterisation of the seabed over kilometre-scale offshore wind farms at the accuracy required. Read more
Distributed Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems for Energy Transition
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
