Accelerating the Deployment of Offshore wind using DC technology
Industrial Doctoral Network, part of the Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA); the European Union’s reference funding programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training of researchers.
Our training programme specialises in Offshore Wind and DC technologies in collaboration with academia and industry.
​
Objectives:
-
To educate a group of highly skilled researchers with an innovative mindset and strong entrepreneurial skills.
-
To develop the most appropriate models and methods for a coordinated approach to offshore renewable connections to meet a net-zero emission target.
Key Research Areas
Offshore Wind
Wind turbines, wind power collection, wind farms and control.
DC Technologies
AC/DC converters, HVDC control and DC network operation & protection.
AC Grid
Stability and control of AC grids.
Our consortium, consisting of six academic institutions and 13 industry leaders, establishes a powerful network that provides our doctoral candidates with a thorough understanding of research to industrial scaling and application, equipping them to address the challenges for achieving net-zero emissions.
