About this position

The University of Canterbury, in collaboration with Transpower New Zealand, is offering a PhD scholarship as part of the Applied Doctorates Scheme project titled "PRoving Inverter Capabilities for Grid Stabilisation and Modelling (PRISM)". This unique opportunity allows the successful candidate to work on a highly relevant industry project focused on inverter requirements and control design to enhance power systems stability. The PhD candidate will split their time between the university and the industry partner, gaining valuable experience in both academic and practical settings.

The research will address critical challenges in modern power systems, particularly the integration and control of inverters for grid stabilisation. The project is supervised by Jeremy Watson (Senior Lecturer, University of Canterbury), Victor Lo, and Alan Wood, providing a strong academic and industry mentorship team. Candidates with a background in electrical engineering, power systems, or control design are encouraged to apply. Experience with inverter technologies and industry collaboration will be considered an asset.

Funding is provided through the Applied Doctorates Scheme, though specific details regarding stipend and tuition coverage are not specified in the announcement. Applicants should prepare to demonstrate their expertise and motivation for research in power systems and inverter control. For more information and application instructions, candidates are advised to follow the links provided in the original post or contact the supervisors directly.
