Towards Optimal Digitalisation in Smart Local Energy Systems (RDF23/MPEE/JIANG)
About the Project
Due to global environmental concerns, the UK has set an ambitious target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve this target, future power systems will be rapidly transformed in the next couple of decades to: i) integrate more renewable energy sources and connect more distributed energy resources in smart local energy systems to meet local energy demand and deliver flexibility, and ii) deploy more digital technologies for monitoring system status, coordinating operations and avoiding catastrophic failures. However, such a transition faces significant challenges, particularly how to effectively manage large amounts of renewable and distributed energy resources given bidirectional power flows, complicated digitalisation infrastructure and the ever-increasing dependence on cyber systems for collecting data and coordinating operations. Efficient operations will require data intensive techniques and optimisation methods to enable the dynamic balance of power supply and demand.
This project aims at addressing challenges for future smart local energy systems and will develop practical planning and optimization methods considering realistic cyber network limitations. Data collected from measurement/metering devices will be used to develop digital twins, building on which optimization methods will be developed to minimize the operational cost or carbon emissions. Data-driven digital twins can be integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), where data-intensive AI tools will be developed to enable more efficient decision-making and planning. This project will also exploit the interrelation of physical energy systems and cyber systems, and address the challenges caused by the high dependence on cyber systems.
We are recruiting one PhD student to contribute to the project. The candidates are expected to have solid knowledge in Energy, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, AI & Machine Learning, demonstrably experiences of programming/simulations, strong analytic skills, and excellent communication skills, both written and oral, in English.
The PhD student will also be involved in international collaborations with world-leading academics and industries through the project TESTBED2 under H2020 (https://www.testbed2.org, 2020-2025). TESTBED2 supports research secondments to its industry and international partners in the EU and US, which will support the student in gaining useful transferable skills and fostering career development.

Home and International students (inc. EU) are welcome to apply. The studentship is available to Home and International (including EU) students and includes a full stipend at UKRI rates (for 2022/23 full-time study this is £17,668 per year) and full tuition fees. Studentships are also available for applicants who wish to study on a part-time basis over 5 years (0.6 FTE, stipend £10,600 per year and full tuition fees) in combination with work or personal responsibilities).
Please also see further advice below of additional costs that may apply to international applicants.
Eligibility Requirements:
Academic excellence of the proposed student i.e. 2:1 (or equivalent GPA from non-UK universities [preference for 1st class honours]); or a Masters (preference for Merit or above); or APEL evidence of substantial practitioner achievement.
Appropriate IELTS score, if required.
Applicants cannot apply for this funding if they are already a PhD holder or if currently engaged in Doctoral study at Northumbria or elsewhere.
