Smart Microgrid PhD

Where can I get a PhD in AI for smart grids?

Overview of the Opportunity. The University of Strathclyde’s Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering is offering a 3 year fully funded PhD in the field of AI for Smart Grids. Read more Electrical energy can be transferred from power plants to consumers via overhead power lines.

Are smart microgrids a sustainable solution for rural electrification?

K. Ubilla et al., “Smart microgrids as a solution for rural electrification: Ensuring long-term sustainability through cadastre and business models,” IEEE Trans. Sustain. Energy, vol. 5, no. 4, pp. 1310–1318, 2014.

What is microgrid design?

Microgrid design consists of several aspects of the microgrid such as generation modelling, load modelling, storage, local network, sizing of the components and determination of the control strategy. Sizing of the system components is a very important step in the design of PV microgrid systems.

What are the areas of study in microgrids?

The areas of study in microgrids have included distributed generation, microgrids benefits, applications of power electronics, economic issues, microgrid operation and control, microgrid clusters as well as protection and communications. A study on microgrid village design and its economic feasibility is presented in .

How does microgrid design affect the cost of electricity generated?

Some aspects of the microgrid design and set parameters of the microgrid components affect the cost of the system which in turn affects the cost of electricity generated. It is desired that the microgrid solution delivers power at the lowest possible cost without compromising on reliability.

How can a microgrid improve energy utilization?

In order to improve the energy utilization, the microgrid needs to have anchor customers. These consist of hospitals, schools and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) such as maize milling, welding loads that consume energy throughout the day.
