System Services in 100% Renewable Grids

This PhD studentship is part of the project 'System Services in 100% Renewable Grids' at Imperial College London's Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department. The position is funded by the Leverhulme Professorship, held by Professor Mark O'Malley. The project aims to propose and study services needed in electricity grids with very large penetrations of variable renewable resources. The efficacy of the services will be assessed across multiple objectives for the electric grid including reliability, cost-effectiveness, affordability, and resiliency. As part of the project, emerging resources enabled by the digitalization and hybridization of energy systems will be modelled and their contribution to existing and proposed services will be studied to identify any potential revisions to resource participation models. The project team will include Professor Mark O'Malley (Leverhulme Professor), Professor Janusz Bialek (a part-time Principal Research Fellow), Dr Elina Spyrou (Leverhulme Lecturer), three post-doctoral Research Associates, four pre-doctoral Research Assistants, and two PhD students. The team is aligned to the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) initiative and its Research Agenda and the recently announced Global Centers in Electric Power Innovation for a Carbon-free Society (EPICS).
