Stability and partitioning of chemical markers associated with the ageing of transformer paper insulation
Ageing status of transformer paper insulation is commonly estimated through chemical markers that are generated through the degradation of cellulose. Read more
(UoM - IIT KGP) Developing Online FRA Transformer Winding Mechanical Incipient Fault Detection Methods through Transient Monitoring and Machine Learning
Power transformers in electrical power networks experience operational stresses such as short circuit currents and associated electromagnetic forces, making their reliable operation crucial for ensuring uninterrupted power supply. Read more
(UoM - IIT KGP) Codesign of control and protection algorithms for improved stability of the renewable dominant power systems
As we transition to cleaner energy sources, power grids are undergoing a significant transformation. Modernised power systems are dominated by renewable energy sources like solar and wind farms and energy storage systems. Read more
(UoM - IIT KGP) Development of negative imaginary systems theory to control feedback systems with hysteresis nonlinearities
Hysteresis nonlinearities are commonly encountered in a wide variety of dynamical processes in which the input-output variables involve memory effects. Read more
Nanoscale optoelectronic characterisation of locally-doped semiconductors for qubit development
Single dopants in semiconductor materials (e.g. phosphorus in silicon) are promising platform for development of qubits with long coherence times. Read more
3D-Printed High Voltage Insulating Materials for the Green Energy Transition
The move to a green economy requires a significant expansion of the existing electricity transmission networks. There is thus an increased demand for installing new transmission and distribution assets including cables, transformers and switchgear etc. Read more
Sensing technology for Net Zero – addressing the challenges of floating offshore electricity transmission
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more
Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Design for Robot Verification
Robotics is widely acknowledged as being a critical technology which will enable several of the UK’s strategic theme such as “Building a Green Future” and “Building a Secure and Resilient World”. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Bioprinted substrates for printed electronics
We are seeking a PhD student to cell culture, or bioprint, cellular models for organs such as the skin. We seek to explore the electrical properties of these models, particularly as we then print conductive materials at the same time (likely via screen or inkjet printing). Read more
Printable multi-junction solar cells for green energy production
Burning fossil fuels for energy over the past several centuries has led to today's environmental crisis, making the transition to green energy technologies a global priority. Read more
