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

We have 45 Energy Technologies (power system) 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

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 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

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

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

Design and Modelling of DC/DC converters for HVDC tapping

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

Developing a framework for regulatory conformance of innovative experimental nuclear reactor

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are a next-generation nuclear reactor technology outlined by Generation IV International Forum, fulfilling sustainability, economics, safety, and proliferation resistance goals. Read more

A Superconducting Brushless Exciter for High-power Density Electrical Machines

Background. The ability of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials to carry large current densities with little or no resistance makes them attractive for providing large rotor magnetic fields in high-power density superconducting electrical machines. Read more

Detecting and Quantifying Hydrogen Isotopes in Nuclear Fusion Breeding Materials using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Future fusion power reactors such as the UK’s STEP reactor, due to begin construction in the next 10 years, will require the tritium fuel to be generated (bred), extracted, separated, and regenerated into new fueling (either pellets or gas) prior to (re-)introduction into the fusion core.
