Description

This PDRA post is funded by the EPSRC New Investigator Award project 'Aviation-to-Grid: Grid flexibility through multiscale modelling and integration of power systems with electrified air transport'.

This is an exciting research project with strong collaboration that brings together the leading partners from academia and industry, including the power system operators, airport operators, transport policy as well as the two EPSRC academic communities in energy networks and transport electrification.

Applicants should have a PhD (or near completion) in power systems, transport, aerospace propulsion, electrical engineering or a closely related discipline - or have equivalent experience.

The programme of work requires a range of skills and knowledge across the boundaries of power system engineering, air transport modelling, computer simulation and laboratory demonstration.

Specifically, this PDRA will develop models and tools for power system modelling and analysis, with strong motivation to extend their work in transport modelling and electrification technologies.

For example, the PDRA will be expected to work on airport energy systems modelling, electric propulsion and energy management strategies, multiscale modelling and integration of transport-power systems, grid flexibility quantification and cost-benefit analysis, as well as the demonstration in a simulation platform with case studies.
