Energy Technologies (systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 109 Energy Technologies (systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Generative AI for the Next Generation of Manufacturing Automation Systems PhD

The application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twin, blockchain, and the internet of things are growing fast, and their integration with complex manufacturing systems enables effective digitalisation and automation transition. 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

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

PhD in multi-energy systems analysis with Artificial Intelligence models

Background. The UK and the World are rapidly shifting towards multi-energy systems, such as districts and industrial parks with large amounts of renewable electricity, renewable heating & cooling, clean fuels (e.g. Read more

Harnessing waste-heat from challenging environments with flexible electronics, sponsored by BAE Systems

Supervisory Team. Dr Katrina Morgan, Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis, Prof Nick Harris, Prof Steve Beeby. Project description. This PhD is a sought after industrial Cooperative Award in Science and Techology (iCASE), with sponsorship from BAE Systems Ltd. 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

Digitalisation of Energy Systems

We are recruiting highly self-motivated PhD candidates in the fields of digitalisation of energy systems, energy systems modelling and optimisation, and renewable energy integration. Read more

Development of ignition systems for energy systems

There have been consistent efforts in developing more fast and efficient combustion. Microwave discharges are widely used for plasma-assisted ignition of air/fuel mixtures. Read more

PhD in Aerospace Engineering - Novel systems for small target detection and tracking, sensor resource management and control.

The project is to 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 Leonardo UK. Read more

Control of renewable energy / mechatronic / robotic systems

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

Impacts of oversizing on the performance of energy and environmental systems

Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in buildings are often sized at capacities exceeding the demand for these services. This can result in inefficient operation, higher initial and operational costs, and larger environmental impacts. Read more

Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications

  Research Group: Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more
