London, Greater London, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

Location: South Kensington, London

Job Summary

Applications are invited for a Research Associate (RA) position within the Control and Power Research Group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The RA will lead the technical effort on modelling and control of power systems with high shares of inverter-based resources (IBRs). The post is supported by the Global Centre on Electric Power Innovation for a Carbon-free Society (EPICS) involving multiple institutions across Australia, UK and US and working closely with the Global Power System Transformation Consortium (G-PST). We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible.

Duties and responsibilities

The RA is expected to 1) establish the modelling adequacy of properly parametrised RMS/phasor models for analysing IBR-induced sub-synchronous oscillations and 2) develop control strategies for IBRs considering multiple objectives (e.g., reference tracking, robustness and optimising control effort) and trade-offs between small- and large-signal stability.

The RA will also be responsible for the dissemination of research outputs in academic journals and international conferences and for presenting project updates at regular meetings with UK and global partners of EPICS and G-PST. Involvement in teaching activities is not mandatory but there will be teaching opportunities (e.g. UG and PG supervision) during the project.

Requirements

The successful candidate should have completed or be near completion of a PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on stability of power systems with high shares of IBRs. Applicants should have experience in dynamic modelling, control and stability analysis of IBR-dominated power systems. Excellent verbal communication skills are also required, together with the ability to deal with a wide range of people and to write clearly for academic and non-academic audiences.
