Are you a researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in smart grid operation and control? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?

As a Research Fellow in Railway Microgrid Control, you will join an exciting consortium to accelerate the journey to transport decarbonisation by developing networked energy hubs for, potentially, as many as over 2,500 railway stations and depots across the UK, and extend the technology to road, ports and airports. You will be improving efficiency and supporting transport electrification with networked microgrids, while offering greater flexibility to support both transport and grid operation. The project will explore the commercial opportunities to adopt and scale up networked energy hubs as virtual power plants to deliver creative, predictable, and cost-effective use of electric power on the transport while offering flexibility services to the power grid.
