About the Project

The project aims to enable DSO/TSOs to monitor Grid participants behaviour in a power grid. The project will deliver an automated online grid code compliance monitoring system which monitors compliance to the ENTSO grid codes. The project output will be a fully functional end to end system from field devices, communication, data acquisition through to local storage, visualisation and data archiving accessible either locally or remotely to DSO/TSO experts via a web browser. The expected outcome will be, for the first time, to make automated online grid code compliance monitoring visible to DSO/TSO managers, network planners, field engineers through direct access to long term storage of online detected noncompliance records supported by large volume of the raw data for further use and analysis.

Under the supervision of an academic project lead, the post-holder will undertake a programme of collaborative research, development and innovation (RD&I) which will underpin the development of a new product, process or service, working collaboratively with 7Com Engineering Ltd, located in the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area.

The post-holder will be eligible to submit the work undertaken as the basis of a body of work to be examined for consideration of the award of a PhD from Keele University.

Starting Salary: £22876 per annum + Home PhD Tuition fees covered for 3 years.
