PhD Studentship in Fast Zonal Control for Voltage Stability Imperial College London in United Kingdom

This PhD project at the University of East Anglia focuses on the design optimisation of brushless doubly fed machines (BDFMs), an emerging electrical machine technology for offshore wind turbine generators. BDFMs can operate with fractional-sized power converters and eliminate rotor brushes and slip rings. Their simplified gearbox systems, compared with high-speed generators, may reduce capital and operational costs while improving reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. These charact...

The Advanced Power Engineering MSc at the University of Edinburgh is a two-year, full-time postgraduate programme based at the King's Buildings campus. It is designed for students who want advanced training in modern power engineering and the technologies shaping secure, efficient and sustainable energy systems. The programme covers both traditional and renewable power sources, with core study in power systems, electrical machines and power conversion. Students develop advanced numerical, analyt...

Center for Sustainable Electrical Energy Systems (SEES) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate in power electronics and multi-objective optimization for shipboard power systems . The project is described as funded and is co-supervised by Ali Moghassemi and Dr. Rob Cuzner. The work appears to combine electrical engineering, simulation, experimental validation, model-based design, thermal management, and electrified transportation/ship power applicatio...

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...

PhD project at the University of Southampton on safety validation and assurance of autonomous navigation systems , with a focus on maritime autonomy and autonomous ships. The research will develop Operational Design Domain (ODD) -based methods to assess whether autonomous navigation systems can operate safely within intended conditions. It will use historical maritime data, scenario-space modelling, and simulation to generate representative, critical, rare, boundary, and degraded scenarios. The ...
