Virtually Connected Hybrid Vehicle Network (Battery Energy Storage Systems)

This is an exciting fully funded PhD opportunity for an UK/EU or an Overseas student to work on a highly collaborative research project at WMG, University of Warwick. The aim of the Virtually Connected Hybrid Vehicle (VCHV) project is to reduce time-consuming physical testing of hybrid vehicle prototype components, the development of the test rig and the physical testing of the complete system.

This will be achieved by testing a virtual version of the complete hybrid system connected on-line to the remote individual real components located at six (Warwick, UCL, Bath, Nottingham, Loughborough, Newcastle) UK universities and virtually running the complete system test within Digital Engineering Test Centre (DETC) building.

At WMG you’ll be researching on modelling battery energy storage systems and the real-time communication of the results to subsystem and control requests from other project partners via Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) equipment.
