Electrical Engineering (grid) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 18 Electrical Engineering (grid) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Optical fiber sensors for overhead conductor line sag monitoring in smart grid

Electrical energy can be transferred from power plants to consumers via overhead power lines. With the advancement in sensors and communication technologies, traditional power systems have undergone a transformation towards smart grid systems. Read more

Energy Storage Modelling

Supervisory Team.   Prof Andrew Cruden, Prof Richard Wills, Prof Suleiman Sharkh. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship to investigate the electrical, thermal and economic modelling of a range of electrical energy storage types (e.g. Read more

Design and Modelling of DC/DC converters for HVDC tapping

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

Developing Dynamic Line Rating Determination of Transmission Lines Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Transmission lines play a crucial role in ensuring the reliable and efficient transfer of electricity over long distances. However, their static rating limits often lead to underutilization or the risk of overloading during peak demands or under dynamic weather conditions. Read more

Advanced control of inverter-based resources to realize stable smart grids

Summary. The smart grid concept is paving the way towards efficient, reliable, and sustainable power systems. Inverter-based resources are among the most crucial components of the smart grid, interfacing renewable energy sources, storage devices, and electronic loads. Read more

Energy Market Transition for Net Zero
