1. Doctoral Researcher (Power Electronics)

Summary of Doctoral Project:

We are looking for smart and motivated person to work on multiport modular power electronics converter design for grid applications. The application of multiport converters in grid applications can be integrating multiple energy resources (such as combination of PV, fuel cell, wind and storage systems) into the AC grid and/or supplying AC/DC loads. The need for such converters will be increased in the future hybrid AC/DC distribution network. Another important application could be power electronics based solid state transformer (SST) to be replaced with traditional transformers. The challenges here are to improve the efficiency and tackle the reliability and life-time issues comparing the SSTs with traditional transformers. Applicants are invited to select either direction in their application.
