The energy transition is a highly stochastic and complex problem, especially given the increasing demand to rapidly decarbonize through whole systems thinking – coupling previously independent critical infrastructure and services e.g., energy-transport networks etc. Energy networks need to unlock new network capacity as to meet growing energy demand and in response to the long lead in times in distribution and transmission network reinforcement. The integration of hydrogen into whole system-based solutions has the potential to accelerate decarbonization within traditionally hard to decarbonize sectors e.g., heavy industry, transport etc., and offer a potential solution for existing energy network constraints.
As part of the UKs National Hydrogen Integration Hub HI-ACT, I am delighted to spotlight these PhD opportunities with full stipend and fees for UK applicants:
Federated Digital Twins for Reducing Risk and Uncertainty in Hydrogen Integration
This opportunity is co-supervised Muhammad Ali Imran
Social-Techno-Economic Analysis of Hydrogen Integration for the Energy Transition
This opportunity is co-supervised Prof. Bridgette Wessels. With the appointment based at either our Crichton or Glasgow campus.
Both PhDs are affiliated with the Glasgow Centre for Sustainable Energy.
