The School of Engineering seeks to appoint a Research Associate in Power Electronics. The position will contribute to the modelling of power electronic systems undertaken as part of the SIF Network DC research program. The appointment will be at UE07 and is available on a fixed term basis for up to 30 months.
The power electronics research team within the Institute for Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh is seeking to appoint an experienced Research to work on the modelling of high voltage DC (HVDC) systems and DC circuit breakers (DCCB). The successful candidate will be responsible for part of the University of Edinburgh’s contribution to the Network DC project. This is a multiparter project, led by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSE), which aims to advance the readiness of HVDC networks and enable the deployment of multi-terminal DC grids which cannot exist without DCCBs.
