PhD project at the University of Nottingham on Microgrid Resilience , supervised by Rasa Remenyte-Prescott and Marco Rivera in the Faculty of Engineering. This project aims to develop a modelling approach for assessing the resilience of a small-scale converter-dominated microgrid. The research is focused on integrating renewable generation, hybrid electrical storage, and hydrogen technologies to support reliable electricity supply when the upstream grid fails. The proposed system includes photov...

This PhD project investigates whether quantum computing can improve decision-making for future energy systems under uncertainty. Based at the University of Southampton , the research will connect hybrid quantum–classical computing with large-scale stochastic optimisation for the net-zero energy transition. Energy-system planning requires long-term decisions about generation, storage, and infrastructure before future demand, weather, and renewable generation are known. The project will develop al...

About this position

Microgrid Resilience PhD at the University of Nottingham will develop a modelling approach for assessing the resilience of small-scale, converter-dominated microgrids.

The project addresses reliable electricity supply in systems that integrate renewable and distributed energy resources. The research will examine how microgrids can operate autonomously when the upstream grid fails, improve electricity-system resilience, reduce energy not supplied and potentially provide financial benefits through excess generation supplied to the main grid.

The doctoral researcher will model a microgrid combining photovoltaic generation, hybrid electrical storage and hydrogen technologies. Batteries and supercapacitors will be integrated with a hydrogen electrolyser and fuel cell, enabling hydrogen production, storage and reconversion to be actively controlled as part of microgrid operation.

A central component of the research is the development of microgrid resilience metrics and methods for their modelling and analysis. The project will investigate disturbances across different frequency and impact levels, examining their effects on the microgrid’s ability to resist incidents, recover quickly and restore operation under uncertainty.

The project is supervised by Rasa Remenyte-Prescott and Marco Rivera in the University of Nottingham’s Faculty of Engineering, providing a research environment spanning electrical power systems, renewable energy integration, energy storage, hydrogen systems and resilience modelling.

Funding details

The advert does not specify funding, stipend or tuition-fee coverage. Applicants are directed to look for funding sources through the University of Nottingham postgraduate funding page.

What's required

Applicants should be enthusiastic graduates starting in October 2027 with a first-class degree in engineering, mathematics or a relevant discipline, preferably at master's level. In exceptional circumstances, a 2:1 degree may be considered. The project is open to UK, EU and overseas students.

How to apply

Apply online through the University of Nottingham postgraduate application portal. For project enquiries, contact Rasa Remenyte-Prescott by email. Early application is encouraged because the position remains open until filled.
