Power and Data Dual Modulation for Improved DC Microgrid Control

Program Overview

The research involves modeling, analysis, control, and optimization of power electronic converters and DC microgrids. Applicants with backgrounds in electrical engineering, communication, and control are encouraged to apply. The program offers a fully funded scholarship, including tuition fees and a stipend.

Program Outline

Careers:

• Renewable energy design and engineering
• Research and development in power electronics and control systems
Data transmission on the same power lines used for transmitting power offers a high reliability, low-cost communication solution for real-time performance needs in DC microgrids. The research will encompass modelling power electronic converters, DC microgrid analysis from power electronics and communication perspectives, control and management of DC microgrids, and simulations/experiments for verification and optimization.
• Project Details: Applicants with experience across various disciplines, including (but not exclusive to) electrical engineering, communication, and control, are encouraged to apply.
• Benefits: This PhD program offers a fully funded scholarship, including tuition fees and a tax-free stipend of £18,622 per annum for three years.
