A PhD Studentship titled "Investigating the impact of subharmonics induced by inverter-based resources to enable a renewables-led future power grid". Applications are invited for a PhD studentship, to be undertaken at Imperial College London (Control and Power Research Group, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering). This studentship is funded by an EPSRC Industrial Doctoral Landscape Award (IDLA) and industrial partner, EDF Renewables UK&I. EDF Renewables UK&I is a major renewable energy company, with more than 14 GW of renewables projects in planning and development. With a portfolio of 42 sites across the UK, including onshore, offshore, battery and solar, EDF Renewables UK&I is providing some of the much needed new affordable, low carbon electricity in the UK. As part of the project, the student will work closely with staff at EDF and benefit from their mentoring and supervision. The project will be supervised by Dr. Giordano Scarciotti (Imperial - Academic Supervisor), Dr James Wylie (EDF Renewables - Industrial Supervisor), and Dr Frank Tutu (EDF R&D UK - Industrial Supervisor). Summary of Project: The increase penetration of renewables is a vital part of the energy transition, however the growth of inverter-based resources (IBRs) such as solar and wind generation can introduce complexity and disrupt the coherency of classical generators, giving rise to unexplained phenomena. Renewable developers are facing a challenge around grid compliance when connecting renewable projects to the transmission network.
