Supervisor : Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: The electrical energy being used around us was generated a few moments before it was supplied. This is because the way things stand energy generation and demand must be in constant balance. This is problematic for energy generation, as it requires spare capacity and constant shifting of power output....

PhD project Title:  (Inductive) Charging The increase in the number of plug-in vehicles available to customers has led to a large number of charging posts available in town centres etc. There are a limited number of products available which offer non-contact charging of automotive battery packs. The acceptance of plug-in charging for certain...

PhD The dominant cost of electric and plug-in electric vehicles is the high voltage battery. Currently manufacturers are required to warrant this battery for a specified number of years, and at end of battery life this battery must be disposed of by the manufacturer. Opportunities exist to investigate the market for second-life (and subsequent) usage...
