Research Associate: Ancillary Services On a Low

2 weeks ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary range**: £34,308 - £42,155

**FTE**: 1.0

**Term**:Fixed (10 months)

**Closing Date**:10 March 2023

Power systems across the world are in the course of enormous change as they transition away from use of fossil fuels. With a large, islanded power system, Great Britain has been a leader in that change. To ensure continued reliability of supply to end users of electricity at acceptable cost, the challenges associated with use of variable, weather-dependent resources and technologies based on power electronic converters must be addressed.

A Post-Doctoral Research Associate is sought to undertake to help to drive forward the low carbon energy transition. In particular, the research will examine the suitability of the suite of present day ancillary services that enable secure, stable operation of the power system in Britain, and opportunities for resources on a low carbon system such as wind farms and batteries to support system operability and reduce dependency on thermal plant and synchronous machines.

The Research Associate will join one of the UK’s leading electrical energy and power systems research groups, working closely with colleagues including the holder of the Scottish Power Chair in Future Power Systems, Keith Bell. This post involves a close working relationship with Scottish Power Renewables, a major power producer in Britain and a part of Iberdrola, one of the world’s leading renewables companies that has been committed to clean energy for more than 20 years. Moreover, you will be part of an internationally recognised group at Strathclyde that has both strong links with industry, government and regulators, and excellent academic credentials. This position therefore offers not only the freedom to express curiosity and generate and share knowledge in an academic research career but also the opportunity to make a difference to industrial practice and policy and to further the energy transition in a material way.
