Energy Technologies (power engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 74 Energy Technologies (power engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Development of a Real-Time Pricing Mechanism for the Integration of Active and Reactive Power Transactions in Deregulated Power Systems to Enhance Ancillary Services

The modern power system is undergoing a transformation towards a smart and competitive grid, where various stakeholders, including generating companies, power retailers, and strategically responsive consumers, actively participate in its daily operations. 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

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). 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

PhD in Mechanical and Systems Engineering: Manufacturing of the Next Generation All-Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Award summary. 100% home fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). International applicants are welcome to apply but will be required to cover the difference between Home and International fees. Read more

Sideband Suppression on High Power Microwave Antenna

The project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by Teledyne e2v. 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

Feasibility of Space-based Solar Power for Terrestrial use

Space based solar power has been a theoretical concept for over 50 years, but recently there has been a new wave of research due to declining cost for both solar technology and space launches. Read more

Stability and efficiency improvement of perovskite solar cells by controlling synthesis and deposition processing parameters

Organic–inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained extensive research interest in the last decade due to their low-cost fabrication, excellent optoelectronic properties, and rapid increase in power conversion efficiency. Read more

PhD in Energy Systems

This post invites applications for a self-funded PhD position aimed at advancing the science and technology of power systems. This research endeavour is nestled in the multifaceted domain of power system analysis, planning, and optimisation, with a sharp focus on the following research themes. Read more
