About this position
Funded PhD project at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China, focused on electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and energy systems planning.
The project is titled Coordinated Multi-Period Planning EV Charging station and Power Distribution Networks along Highways with Movable Charging Infrastructure. It addresses highway EV fast-charging challenges such as peak holiday demand, sparse service-area stations, limited distribution network capacity, queueing, congestion, voltage issues, and overload risks. The research also targets the mismatch between renewable generation near highways and charging demand.
Planned research themes include demand scenario modelling for weekdays/weekends/holidays, bounded flow allocation rules for service-area transfers and detours, coordination of mobile charging stations as relocatable backup and renewable-energy absorbers, and cost-benefit analysis under distribution network power-flow constraints. The broader aim is to identify the best combination and investment sequence of mobile charging stations, fixed station expansion, and network reinforcement.
This is a joint doctoral supervision programme involving XJTLU, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and the University of Liverpool. Supervisors listed are Dr Lurui Fang and Prof Eng Gee Lim at XJTLU, Dr Chengcheng Shao at XJTU, and Dr Christos Zachariades at the University of Liverpool.
Eligibility highlights: a strong background in Electrical Engineering or Applied Mathematics; a UK first-class or upper second-class honours bachelor's degree and a UK master's degree with Merit or equivalent; strong spoken and written English; IELTS 6.5 or equivalent if English is not the first language. Exceptional bachelor's-only candidates may be considered.
Funding information: the project is advertised as a Funded PhD Project. The programme is full-time, typically 3–4 years, and the tuition fee is RMB 99,000 per year. No stipend amount is stated in the post.
