Efficient, Low-Cost Offshore Wind Integration: Hybrid DR–MMC HVDC Topology and Control Design (PhD Position) Cardiff University in United Kingdom

PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom focused on the design optimisation of brushless doubly fed machines (BDFMs) for offshore wind turbine generators. The project addresses key research challenges in electrical engineering and renewable energy , including low power density, low power factor, vibration, and complex magnetic field behavior. The aim is to improve BDFM performance and help position these machines as a competitive alternative to direct-drive and...

This PhD project explores ocean observation through surfing , focusing on the development and field trialling of sensors integrated into surfboards. The research aims to investigate how surfboards can act as mobile platforms for collecting valuable observations from the coastal ocean and surf zone. The student will work on a practical, interdisciplinary project involving marine sensing, oceanography, environmental observation and open-hardware approaches. The work is supported by collaboration w...
