    Cardiff University President’s Research Scholarship: Dynamic Demand to Support Smart Grid Operation, UK

    1 Jun

    Key Studentship Information

    This is a Cardiff University President’s Research Scholarship, part of a new £4M investment to coincide with the inauguration of Professor Sir Martin Evans (Nobel Prize for Medicine 2007) as Cardiff’s new President.

    All of the University Schools and Research Centres offering opportunities under the programme have demonstrated the real potential of the Scholarships to contribute to research excellence through significant, challenging and original PhD research projects and excellent PhD supervision and support. Other attractive features of the Scholarships include the presence of multiple President’s Scholars in each of the research areas and the guaranteed exposure of President’s Scholars to innovative technologies, theories, methodological approaches, and debates. More information on the President’s Research Scholarships scheme is available here: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/presidents

    Project Title: Dynamic Demand to Support Smart Grid Operation
    Project Description: 
    To meet the UK carbon reduction targets the Climate Change Committee has called for the power sector to be de-carbonised by 2030. Smart Grid has been widely recognised as an essential vehicle to decarbonise the electrical energy sector, and many countries around the world are working on the technologies for its realisation. Among these technologies, demand-side integration is vital. Dynamic demand technology helps households and business contribute towards lowering the country’s carbon emissions through transforming electrical appliances like fridges, air-conditioners and heaters into smart devices that respond to changes on the national grid to improve its efficiency and save carbon, energy and money.
    This project will investigate a number of important aspects of the dynamic demand technology. The aim is to develop a dynamic demand model and integrate it with a GB grid model. Not only primary response will be investigated, but also secondary frequency response will be studied to consider the coordination with the central generation dispatch over longer timescales (30 sec-15 min).  This research will inform the design of the dynamic demand controller and will contribute to the development of feasible demand-side integration solutions for the Smart Grid.
    Supervisor: Prof. N Jenkins / Dr J wu
    Start Date: 1st October 2011

    Funding

    Scholarship Description: Research and diagnosis of (neuro)metabolic diseases is the main objective of the DNA unit in the Metabolic Laboratory of the department of Clinical chemistry. This department is localized in the VU University Medical Center (VUMC). The research is imbedded in the Neuroscience Campus Amsterdam. The Post-doc will be involved in developing new genetic tests for the detection of disease causing mutations in genes associated with neurometabolic disorders, white matter disorders and genes involved in one carbon metabolism. The candidate should have interest in innovation and ideally have experience in exome sequencing. To recognize the disease-causing variants, data analysis as well as the development of functional assays will be important. The work will be executed within the DNA diagnostics and research unit of the Metabolic Laboratory of the dept. of Clinical Chemistry. You will collaborate with clinical molecular and biochemical geneticists, PhD students, scientists and technicians. About 50% of the DNA requests are from abroad. Since many of the disorders for which we offer diagnostics are very rare, only one or a few labs worldwide offer diagnostics, and thus we often have collaborations with international laboratories. Not seldom the results form the basis of novel research as well as published papers in peer reviewed journals.
