PhD Position in Energy Systems, Intelligent EMS/BMS, and Hybrid Microgrids at Concordia University Concordia University in Canada

PhD position in Energy Systems at Concordia University, Canada.

This opportunity focuses on research in electrical engineering, energy engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, and control systems, with a strong emphasis on sustainable energy solutions for remote and Indigenous communities in northern and Arctic environments.

The project centers on intelligent Energy Management Systems (EMS) and Battery Management Systems (BMS) for hybrid microgrids. Research themes include autonomous energy networks, renewable integration, lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, solar and wind energy, and advanced control algorithms.

The post highlights the need for resilient, low-carbon electricity systems in northern Quebec, where many communities currently depend on diesel-based power. The research aims to improve energy independence, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support clean energy transitions in extreme climates.

This is described as a fully funded PhD position. No deadline is stated in the post.
