About the Project
Renewable energy sources (RES) are a proven tool in reducing harmful green house emissions. The usage of RES as well as energy storage have transformed the energy sector and now new topologies such as smart grids are fast replacing traditional power networks. Multi vector energy systems (such as electricity, hydrogen, and transport) can be used to increase the RES penetration as they can offer many advantages over single career energy systems such as purely electrical grids. While a multivector approach can help with the penetration of RES, it imposes several obstacles in the controllability of such systems due to the different structural, temporal and logical features of the different vectors. In the past, the team at Newcastle has proposed several methods to address such issues like graph theory [1-2], graphical methods [3-6] and Automata [7]. In this project we propose the combination of the above methods under a Multi Agent framework that will take into account the system’s scalability and resilience. Candidates should have a strong background on systems theory and programming using Matlab and Python.
Newcastle University is committed to being a fully inclusive Global University which actively recruits, supports and retains colleagues from all sectors of society. We value diversity as well as celebrate, support and thrive on the contributions of all our employees and the communities they represent. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from everybody, regardless of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital status/civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, as well as being open to flexible working practices.
